Getting Started With Access Point
Configuration
Configuration
This chapter is a guide for using the access point’s console to quickly assign
an Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask to the access point, set a
manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.

interface, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on
the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
interface, please see the Management and Configuration Guide, which is on
the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your access point.
Recommended Minimal Configuration
In the factory default configuration, the access point is configured as a DHCP
client. If the access point fails to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server,
its IP address defaults to 192.168.1.1. If this address is not compatible with
your network, then the access point can only be managed through a direct
console connection. To manage the access point through in-band (networked)
access, you should configure the access point with an IP address and subnet
mask compatible with your network. Also, you should configure a manager
password to control access privileges for the console and web browser
interface. Other parameters can be left at their default settings or you can
configure them with values you enter.
