This chapter explains how to establish a Web browser session and how to manage the
2102 S remotely.
Establishing a Web Browser Session
After you have configured the IP address and other basic network parameters, you can
access your 2102 S from a remote location.
Note: Although you can manage the device remotely using either a Telnet session or a
Web browser, this manual assumes you are using a Web browser.
You must know the IP address of the access point to access it remotely. If a DHCP
server assigned the IP address, you must determine the IP address from the DHCP
server.
Only one session can be active with the access point at a time. If your session terminates
abruptly or a new signon screen appears, someone else may have accessed the access
point.
To access the access point remotely, you must first establish a Web browser session.
When using the Web to establish remote access to your access point, remember that if
you have a username and password configured for the access point, your session
terminates if you do not use it for 15 minutes.
The Web browser interface for the access point has been tested using Netscape v4.0 and
higher and Internet Explorer v4.0 and higher. Remotely accessing the access point using
other browsers may provide unpredictable results.
Note: If you access the Internet using a proxy server, you must add the IP address of the
access point to your Exceptions list. The Exceptions list contains the addresses that you
do not want to use with a proxy server.
To establish a Web browser session with the access point
1. Identify the IP address of the access point.
2. Start the Web browser application.
3. Access the access point using one of these methods:
•
In the Address field (Internet Explorer) or the Location field (Netscape
Communicator), enter the IP address of the access point, and press Enter.
•
Choose Open from the File menu. In the Open field, enter the IP address of the
access point and press Enter.
The TCP/IP Settings screen appears.
