Introduction
Software configuration requires setting up a connection to the Access Point (AP) 
and gaining access to the User Interface (UI).
Gaining Access to the 
User Interface (UI) 
Using a Web Browser
In order to configure an AP, you need access to the Web and you need to know 
the IP address of the AP. In the address/URL text box of your browser, type IP 
address of the AP and press Enter.
Using a Web Browser
Using a Web browser to gain access to the UI requires the workstation to have a 
TCP/IP stack and access to a Web browser. The remote station can be on either the 
wired or wireless LAN. There are two methods for setting up the Web Help file:
Placing the Help file on the network Web server
Placing the Help file on the local workstation hard disk.
To use this feature, the Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater, or Netscape) 
requires JavaScript.
Help File Access
A network Web server is required to access the Help file from the AirConnect 
Access Point Configuration Management System
 Web pages. This procedure is 
intended for Microsoft Internet Information Server. The network Web server can 
be different. If this is the case, some of the procedures will differ.
Setup Network Web Server Help File Access 
To create the Help file on a network Web server, a network or system administrator 
uses the procedure below. (NT4 is used in this example.)
Create a directory on the network Web server in which the AP Web Site Help Files 
will reside. Often this is a subdirectory to C:\InetPub\wwwRoot.
Copy all .gif and .htm files to the directory or folder. 
Select Start from the Windows Task Bar.
Select Programs-->Microsoft Internet Server (common)-->Internet Service Manager.
Before configuring the AP, you should upgrade the AirConnect firmware to the 
latest version. Refer to “Updating AP Firmware” on page 53.
If you are using Hyperterminal or a similar ASCII interface, refer to the 
instructions in “Configuring the AP Using the ASCII Interface” on page 57
