System requirements
2.2.1
Configuring the LANCOM devices
Computers that connect to a LANCOM must meet the following minimum
requirements:
Operating system that supports TCP/IP, e.g. Windows Vista™,
Windows XP, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000, Win-
dows 98, Linux, BSD Unix, Apple Mac OS, OS/2.
Access to the LAN via the TCP/IP protocol.
Wireless LAN adapter or LAN access (if the access point is to be connected
to the LAN).
The LANtools also require a Windows operating system. A web brow-
ser under any operating system provides access to WEBconfig.
2.2.2
Operating access points in managed mode
LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM Access Points can be operated either
as self-sufficient Access Points with their own configuration ("Access Point
mode“) or as components in a WLAN infrastructure, which is controlled from
a central WLAN-Controller ("managed mode").

Status displays and interfaces
Meanings of the LEDs
In the following sections we will use different terms to describe the behaviour
of the LEDs:
Blinking
means, that the LED is switched on or off at regular intervals in
the respective indicated colour.
Flashing
means, that the LED lights up very briefly in the respective
colour and stay then clearly longer (approximately 10x longer) switched
off.
Inverse flashing
means the opposite. The LED lights permanently in the
respective colour and is only briefly interrupted.
Flickering
means, that the LED is switched on and off in irregular inter-
vals.
