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

Access Point even if it has an invalid IP address.
