3Com recommends that you perform the initial Access Point
configuration from a computer that is directly connected to one of the
LAN ports and not from a wireless connection.
However, you may configure the Access Point from a wireless admin
computer but, note that you may lose contact with the Access Point if
you change the wireless configuration. To communicate with the Access
Point, your wireless NIC should be set as follows:
WEP encryption - none
■
Service Area Name/SSID - 3Com
■
The Access Point setup program is Web-based, which means that it is
accessed through your Web browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer).
To use the Setup Wizard:
1 Ensure that you have at least one computer connected to the Access
Point. Refer to
Chapter 2
2 Insert the Access Point CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
A menu will appear; select Gateway Discovery.
Discovery will find the Access Point even if it is unconfigured or
misconfigured.
