Introducing the Web Configurator

6.1  Overview

This chapter describes how to access the WAP3205 v2 Web Configurator and provides an overview 
of its screens.

The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and 
management of the WAP3205 v2 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Safari 
2.0 or later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.

• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).

Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter (

Chapter 13 on page 106

) to see how to make sure these 

functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
