Description
The computer used to configure the first access point must be connected to the
access point (either directly or through a hub) by an Ethernet cable.
For more information, see "Connect The Access Point To Network And Power" on
page 38 in "Quick Steps For Setup And Launch".
After initial configuration and launch of the first access points on your new wireless
network, you can make subsequent configuration changes through the Administra-
tion 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 adaptor that supports one or more of the
IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point. (IEEE
802.11a, 802.11b802.11a, 802.11g802.11b, 802.11a Turbo802.11g
802.11a Turbo modes are supported.)
• Wireless client software such as Microsoft
sey wireless client configured to associate with the 9160 G2 Wireless Gate-
way.
For more details on Wi-Fi client setup, see "Wireless Client Computers" on page 31.
