a. The Cisco WAP131 can be accessed and managed by Cisco
Small Business network tools and services including the Cisco
FindIT Network Discovery Utility that enables you to
automatically discover all supported Cisco Small Business
devices in the same local network segment as your computer.
You can get a snapshot view of each device or launch the
product Configuration Utility to view and configure the
settings. For more information, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.
b. The Cisco WAP131 is Bonjour-enabled and automatically
broadcasts its services and listens for services being
advertised by other Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a
Bonjour-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer
with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari browser, you
can find the Cisco WAP131 on your local network without
knowing its IP address.
You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser from Apple's website by visiting:
http://www.apple.com/bonjour/
c. Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by
accessing your router or DHCP server. See your DHCP server
instructions for more information.
