3 Configuring the Access
Point
3.1 Introduction
The Access Point is a ready to use device. It is delivered with default
settings which allow you to have access to it without configuring it. When
you do configure the Access Point, you can change the settings with
respect to security, radio channels, etc.
Whether you need to configure the Access Point or not, depends entirely
on how you apply the Access Point to your environment. Section
3.2: ‘When to configure the Access Point’ on page 21 discusses the
consequences of configuring the Access Point or not.
You configure the Access Point via Web pages that are built into the
Access Point. These are accessible via any Web browser. The KickStart
application helps you access this Web Interface.
Table 3-1 describes the contents of this chapter:
3.2 When to configure the Access Point
Configuring the Access Point means installing settings with respect to
the use of radio channels, security, identification, etc. You only need to
configure the Access Point when you want to change these settings.
n
Not configuring your Access Point will make your network accessible to
anyone.
3.3 Starting the Web Interface
The first time you want to access the Web Interface, you need to use
KickStart to find it. For subsequent access, you can go to the Web
Interface directly (see section
3.5: ‘Launching the Web Interface
manually’ on page 25 ) and you don’t need KickStart.
Tip: you can bookmark the web address for the Web Interface for even
easier access.
