Wizard described below.

The following table describes the functions of the buttons in the 3Com Wireless

Infrastructure Device Manager window.

The Pre-IP Configuration

Wizard

The Pre-IP Configuration Wizard lets you specify the IP settings that will be

configured on the selected wireless device. It will propose IP address and subnet

mask settings derived from the computer to match its subnet. You can accept the

suggested settings or change them as required.

If the selected device is on a different subnet, the device manager helps you to

assign an IP address on the same subnet as your computer. You may accept the

address offered or enter an address and click Next. The next window prompts for

an administrative password to allow the new IP address to be set. If this is the first

time the device is being configured, leave the password field blank and click Next.

The Configuration Management System main page appears in your Web browser.

The password screen prompts for the administration password for the selected

device. 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 Finish.
