Where To Go From Here - ProCurve 420 Installation And Getting Started Manual

Getting Started With Access Point Configuration

Where to Go From Here

The above procedure, using the CLI, configured your access point with a
Manager password, IP address, and subnet mask. As a result, with the proper
network connections, you can now manage the access point from a PC
equipped with Telnet or a Secure Shell client, or a Web browser interface. The
above procedure also configured the primary Service Set Identifier (SSID),
the radio channel, and enabled wireless operation. Your wireless clients can
now access the network by setting their SSID and radio channel to the same
values used by the access point. Note that some wireless clients can be
configured to scan all of the radio channels for an access point and the SSID.
Some basic information on managing your access point is included in the next
section. For more information on the console and Web browser interfaces,
and all the features that can be configured on the Access Point 420, please see
the Management and Configuration Guide, available on the ProCurve Web
site at http://www.hp.com/rnd/support/manuals/420.htm.
To Recover from a Lost Manager Password: If you cannot start a con-
sole session because of a lost manager password, you can clear the password
and user name by getting physical access to the access point and pressing and
holding the Reset button for more than five seconds. However, note that this
action resets all configuration settings to the factory defaults.
C a u t i o n
The Reset button is provided for your convenience, but if you are concerned
with the security of the access point configuration and operation, you can
disable it. For more information, see the Management and Configuration
Guide, available on the ProCurve Web site at
