Wireless Client Requirements

The UAP provides wireless access to any client with a properly configured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11 mode
in which the access point is running. The UAP supports multiple client operating systems. Clients can be laptop or
desktop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device equipped
with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.
To connect to the access point, wireless clients need the software and hardware described in the following table.

Description
After initial configuration and launch of the first access point on your
new wireless network, you can make subsequent configuration changes
through the Administration Web pages using a wireless connection to the
internal network.
For wireless connection to the access point, your administration device will
need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless client:
•) Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of
the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.
•) Wireless client software configured to associate with the UAP.
Configuration and administration of the UAP is provided through a Web-
based user interface hosted on the access point.
We recommend using one of the following supported Web browsers to
access the access point Administration Web pages:
•) Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
level for either major version)
•) Mozilla Firefox version 3.5 or later
®
•) Safari 5 and later versions
The administration Web browser must have JavaScript™ enabled to
support the interactive features of the administration interface.
Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used to initially
configure the access point.

Table 2 - Requirements for the Administrator's Computer

Description
Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of the
IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.
Client software, such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant, configured to
associate with the UAP.
Security should be disabled on the client used to do initial configuration of
the access point.
If the Security mode on the access point is set to anything other than plain
text, wireless clients will need to set a profile to the authentication mode
used by the access point and provide a valid username and password,
certificate, or similar user identity proof. Security modes are Static WEP,
IEEE 802.1X, WPA with RADIUS server, and WPA-PSK.
