If the default AP configuration does not meet your network
requirements, or if you want to customize the settings for your
own network, you can use these tools to change the
configuration:
1 Launch the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager
(Widman) utility
2 Directly connect to the device through its Ethernet port or
console port
Networks with a DHCP Server
If your network has a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically
assigned to the AP. It takes between one and two minutes for
the Access Point to determine if there is a DHCP server on the
network. Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager
(Widman) included on the 3Com Installation CD to locate the
Access Point on the network and view its IP address.
