Configuring The Wireless Network Access Point; Installing The Configuration Utility - Linksys Instant Wireles Series User Manual

Configuring the Wireless
Network Access Point
The Wireless Network Access Point can be configured one of two ways,
through the USB Utility or the Access Point SNMP Configuration Utility.
USB Utility
The USB Utility can be used when configuring the Wireless Network Access
Point through a USB connection and is compatible with Windows 98,
Millennium, and 2000.
Access Point SNMP Configuration Utility
The Access Point SNMP Configuration Utility can be used when configuring
the Wireless Network Access Point through an Ethernet connection and is com-
patible with all Windows Operating Systems. You may also configure the
Access Point through its wireless connections.
Note: In order for all other wireless devices to communicate with the Wireless
Network Access Point, those devices must be operating in the Infrastructure
Mode. If any wireless devices are configured in the Ad Hoc Mode, they will
not be recognized by the Access Point.
Linux/Unix Users: Since the Configuration Utility is written for Windows
users, you will have to configure the Wireless Access Point using SNMP . A con-
figurable MIB file (AT76C510.MIB) can be found on the Setup Utility CD.
Remember, Linksys does not support Linux or Unix as an operating system.
This file is for Linux/Unix users only, and is not necessary for any Windows
installation.
