This chapter describes how to access the Harmony Access Point Management tool,

which is used to configure Harmony 802.11b Access Points operating in Independent

mode. This management tool is accessed using a web browser such as Microsoft

Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape Navigator 4.

If you are using the Harmony 802.11b Access Point in Dependent mode with an AP

Controller, refer to the Harmony Access Point Controller Model 7560 User's Guide for

information on how to configure and manage Access Points.

Follow these steps to access the management tool via a Web browser:

Open a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape Navigator

4, on a computer that is on the same IP network as the Access Point.

http://169.254.0.67 and hit <Enter> to access the management tool, as shown in

the example on the next page.
