You can add all your APs within a wireless domain (defined by the same Wireless
Network Name) so that they show up in one Managed List for future changes. Before
you exit the AP Manager, make sure to save your Managed List file (you will be
prompted). If you are managing APs in multiple domains (different Wireless Network
Names) you should save these APs in a separate file.
Press F1 on your keyboard while in any AP Manager window for information about
the parameters in that window.

The initial installation menu allows you to display and modify the Access Point
parameters. Use the Module-Specific Options menu item to display and modify the
wireless networking parameters.
To prevent other users from accessing the console port menu, choose Enable/Disable
Console Password from the menu and enable it. Then change the default SNMP
community string as described in "Configuring the AP for SNMP Management" on
page 4-16. Afterwards, the console port will require users to enter the community
string before displaying the menu.

Press Return a few times on the console port device until a menu
appears.
If the AP is connected to a DEChub 90 or is a standalone unit, the
RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu appears.

before connecting a cable to the console port.
If the AP is connected to the MultiSwitch 900 console port, choose Start
Redirect Mode in the MultiSwitch Installation Menu. Afterwards, enter
