3Com 8250 User Manual page 36

The tree lists all WLAN service areas on the network and expands to show the
3Com wireless LAN devices that are associated to each service area. Devices
in a different subnet than your computer are identified with exclamation
points (!). You can refresh this display by clicking Refresh. You should refresh
the display, for example, after you change a device IP address.
2 In the Wireless Network Tree, select the device you want to configure.
If more than one wireless LAN device appears in the tree, click Properties and
check the MAC address to verify that it is the one you want.
3 Click Configure.
If the selected device is on the same subnet as your computer, the
configuration management system main page appears in your Web
browser. (If a password is set on the device, enter it when prompted.)
If the selected device is on a different subnet, the Pre-IP Configuration
Wizard is activated automatically. This wizard lets you configure the IP
settings for the selected wireless device. It proposes IP address and subnet
mask settings derived from your computer's settings, so the selected device
will then reside on the same subnet as your computer. You can accept the
suggested settings or change them as required. For more information, see
"Using the Pre-IP Configuration Wizard" on page 31.
The next window prompts for an administrative password to allow the new
IP address to be set. When the units are shipped from the factory, there is no
administration password and you should leave the password field blank. If an
administration password has been set for the device, enter the password and
click Next. The 3Com Web Configuration Management System main screen
appears in your Web browser.
The following table describes the buttons in the 3Com Device Manager.
