Using ScanTool
ScanTool.is.a.software.utility.that.is.included.on.the.installation.CD-ROM..It.is.
an initial configuration tool that 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.set.initial.device.parameters.that.will.allow.the.AP.to.
retrieve.a.new.software.to.an.AP.that.does.not.have.a.valid.software.image.
installed.
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.
