Page 15: Introduction
Introduction The access point (AP) runs software that includes a network management agent. The agent offers a variety of management options, including SNMP and a web- based interface. Configuration Options The access point’s web agent allows you to configure AP parameters, monitor wireless connections, and display statistics using a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer 9.x, Mozilla Firefox 35, and Google Chrome 39, or later versions. -
Page 16: Network Connections
Chapter 1 | Introduction Network Connections Network Connections Prior to accessing the AP’s management agent through a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using the web interface or DHCP protocol. The AP has a static default management address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. -
