ONNECTING TO THE
To connect to the AP by using the IPv6 global address or IPv6 link local address, you must enter the AP address into your
browser in a special format.
Note: The following instructions and examples work with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and might not work
with other browsers.
To connect to an IPv6 global address, add square brackets around the IPv6 address. For example, if the AP global IPv6
address is 2520::230:abff:fe00:2420, type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://[2520::230:abff:fe00:2420].
To connect to the iPv6 link local address, replace the colons (:) with hyphens (-), add the interface number preceded with an
"s," then add ".ipv6-literal.net." For example, if the AP link local address is fe80::230:abff:fe00:2420, and the Windows
interface is defined as "%6," type the following address into the IE7 address field: http://fe80--230-abff-fe00-2420s6.ipv6-
literal.net.

The DHCP client on the UAP is enabled by default. If you connect the UAP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP
automatically acquires an IP address. To manage the UAP by using the Administrator UI, you must enter the IP address of
the access point into a Web browser.
If a DHCP server on your network assigns an IP address to the UAP, and you do not know the IP address, use the following
steps to view the IP address of the UAP:
1. Using a null-modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.
If you attached a PC, Apple, or UNIX workstation, start a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal or
TeraTerm.
2. Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
