A: The Command Line Interface
ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. ScanTool allows you
to find the IP address of an Access Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to
assign an IP address if one has not been assigned.
The tool automatically detects the Access Points installed on your network, regardless of IP
address, and lets you configure each unit's IP settings. In addition, you can use ScanTool to
download new software to an AP that does not have a valid software image installed (see
Connection Problems).
To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP, the AP must be assigned an IP address
that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the AP is configured to obtain an IP address
automatically from a network Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during
boot-up. If your network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to find out what IP
address the AP has been assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the
Access Point's IP address defaults to 169.254.128.132. In this case, you can use ScanTool to
assign the AP a static IP address that is valid on your network.
