The administrator password is not set when the Access Point is shipped from the
factory. For details, see “About the Access Point password” (page 18).

If the Access Point settings (Network name (SSID) or data encryption)

communication settings on your computer. For details, refer to the Wireless
LAN PC Card Operating Instructions or the Wireless Panel Help.

You can confirm the Access Point firmware version on the Access Point
Status page. For details, see “Confirming the status of the Access Point”
