Chapter 3
Access Point Setup
This Chapter provides details of the Setup process for Basic Operation of
your Wireless Access Point.

Overview

This chapter describes the setup procedure to make the Wireless Access Point a valid device
on your LAN, and to function as an Access Point for your Wireless Stations.
Wireless Stations may also require configuration. For details, see Chapter 4 - Wireless Station
Configuration.
The Wireless Access Point can be configured using either the supplied Windows utility or your
Web Browser

Setup using the Windows Utility

A simple Windows setup utility is supplied on the CD-ROM. This utility can be used to assign
a suitable IP address to the Wireless Access Point. Using this utility is recommended, because
it can locate the Wireless Access Point even if it has an invalid IP address.
Installation
1. Insert the supplied CD-ROM in your drive.
2. If the utility does not start automatically, run the SETUP program in the root folder.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Main Screen
