4.5 Configure ‘Basic Settings’ And Start The Wireless Network
Provide a minimal set of configuration information by defining the basic settings for your
wireless network. These settings are all available on the
Basic Settings page of the Adminis-
tration Web interface, and are categorized into steps 1-3 on the Web page.
For a detailed description of these “Basic Settings” and how to properly configure them,
please see Chapter 5: “Configuring Basic Settings”. Summarized briefly here, the steps are:
1. Review Description of this Access Point.
Provide IP addressing information. For more information, see “Review / Describe The
Access Point” on page 48.
2. Provide Network Settings.
Provide a new administrator password for clustered access points. For more informa-
tion, see “Provide Network Settings” on page 49.
3. Settings.
Click the Update button to activate the wireless network with these new settings. For
more information, see “Update Basic Settings” on page 50.
4.5.1 Default Configuration
If you follow the steps above and accept all the defaults, the access point will have the
default configuration described in “Default Settings For The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway” on
page 27.
4.6 What’s Next?
Next, make sure the access point is connected to the LAN, bring up some wireless clients,
and connect the clients to the network. Once you have tested the basics of your wireless net-
work, you can enable more security and fine-tune by modifying advanced configuration
features on the access point.
4.6.1 Make Sure The Access Point Is Connected To The LAN
If you configured the access point and administrator PC by connecting both into a network
hub, then your access point is already connected to the LAN. That’s it—you’re up and run-
ning! The next step is to test some wireless clients.
If you configured the access point using a direct wired connection via crossover cable from
your computer to the access point, do the following:
1. Disconnect the crossover cable from the computer and the access point.
