 InstantWave High Speed is extremely versatile in providing varying levels of
network management.  For Small Office/Home Office users, setup and
configuration is a quick, four-step process.  For these users the Access Point
Hardware Installation Access Point Hardware Installation Access Point Hardware
Installation section, on page 9, provides simple instructions to get your network up
and running within minutes.  Go to the Access Point Hardware Installation section
if your network will meet the following criteria:

•

 

You will accept all default values

•

 

Your network will have only one Access Point

The AP COMFig Tool, see page 12, permits AP configuration from a PC via a
COM port connection.  The program enables the user to change the default Access
Point IP configuration settings before introducing a new AP to an already
established wireless network.

For System Administrators, with advanced networking requirements, the AP
Management System (APMS)section, on page22, covers configuring for advanced
management and explains how to make a network management connection.  The
APMS program is a simple to use, yet extremely powerful, network management
tool.

Whichever setup method you intend to use, you should read through the next
section “Planning Your Network,” in order to get the best possible performance
from your InstantWave High Speed wireless network.
