Chapter 3 Basic Configuration

Using the IP Setup Utility

The IP Setup utility (IPSU) allows you to find the access point's IP address when it has been assigned
by a DHCP server. You can also use IPSU to set the access point's IP address and SSID if they have not
been changed from the default settings.
Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP. For
other operating systems, you must use the access point console port and a terminal emulator program to
configure the access point.
The sections below explain how to install the utility, how to use it to find the access point's IP address,
and how to use it to set the IP address and the SSID.
