Using The Web Management Interface; Accessing The Web Browser Interface - Foundry Networks IronPoint 200 User Manual

The Foundry IronPoint 200 Access Point provides an embedded HTTP Web agent. Using a Web
browser you can configure the access point and monitor wireless clients using the network. The Web
agent can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard Web browser (Internet
Explorer 6.0 or above running on a Windows system).
You can also use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the access point over a serial
connection to the console port or via Telnet. For more information on using the CLI, refer to Chapter
4, "Using the Command Line Interface."
This chapter describes the configuration of the access point's features based on its Web browser
user interface.

Accessing the Web Browser Interface

Prior to accessing the access point from a Web browser, be sure you have first performed the initial
configuration tasks described in Chapter 2, "Initial Configuration and Software Upgrades."
To access the access point from a Web browser, perform the following steps:
1. Type the IP address of the access point into the address bar of your Web browser. The access
point login page opens.
2. Type the user name and password in the appropriate text fields.
Note: Access to the access point's Web interface is controlled by the same user name and
password as the CLI. If you set a new user name and password during the initial configuration (see
"Setting Passwords" on page 2-4), enter the new user name and password. Otherwise, enter the
default user name "admin" and default password "admin."
3. Click Login.
