Accessing the 
Wizard

3Com recommends that you perform the initial Access Point 
configuration from a computer that is directly connected to one of the 
LAN ports and not from a wireless connection. 

However, you may configure the Access Point from a wireless admin 
computer but, note that you may lose contact with the Access Point if 
you change the wireless configuration. To communicate with the Access 
Point, your wireless NIC should be set as follows:

■

WEP encryption - none

■

Service Area Name/SSID - 3Com

The Access Point setup program is Web-based, which means that it is 
accessed through your Web browser (Netscape Navigator or Internet 
Explorer). 

To use the Setup Wizard:

1

Ensure that you have at least one computer connected to the Access 
Point. Refer to 

Chapter 2

 for details on how to do this.

2

Insert the Access Point CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on your computer. 
A menu will appear; select 

Gateway Discovery

.

Discovery will find the Access Point even if it is unconfigured or 
misconfigured.
