The Web Configurator
6.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the WAP5705 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 WAP5705 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Firefox
2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter ( Chapter 12 on page 99 ) to see how to make sure these
functions are allowed in Internet Explorer.
