Entering Admin Mode
The UI defaults to User mode, allowing read-only access to the AP’s functions
(view statistics, for example). Switching to
Admin
mode provides access to
configuration menus and allows you to configure the AP.
To enter Admin
mode requires the administration password. To enter Admin
mode, do the following:
1
Select
Enter Admin Mode
from the Main Menu. The AP prompts for the
administration password:
Enter System Password:
2
If a password has been set, enter it now (case sensitive). The default password is
comcomcom
.
■
If the password is correct, the AP displays the Main Menu with the Enter Admin
Mode
menu item changed to Exit Admin Mode.
■
If the password is incorrect, the AP continues to display the Main Menu with
the Enter Admin Mode menu item.
