Configuration Notes

For a new access point installation, the default WLAN Service Area (ESSID) is 3Com and no
o
security is set. Unless it detects a DHCP server on the network, the access point uses Auto IP
to assign an IP address of the form 169.254.2.1.
Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to locate 3Com Wireless LAN devices
o
and launch their configurations. When installing the device manager, make sure the computer
is connected to the same network as the device to be configured. After installing and
launching the device manager, select the device to be configured from network tree and click
Configure to launch the configuration Web interface. Refer to the Access Points 8250/8500/
8750 User Guide (included on the installation CD) for detailed information and instructions
on locating and configuring access points.
If you experience difficulty with the installation, see the Troubleshooting section of the
o
User Guide.
