Using the Configuration Management System 25
The following table describes the functions of the buttons in the 3Com Wireless
Infrastructure Device Manager window.
Using the
Configuration
Management System
From the Configuration Management System main page, you can select which
configuration page to view by clicking on the page names in the navigation tree in
the left-hand frame. The corresponding content is displayed in the main window.
Each page has a question mark icon in the upper-right corner that you can use to
display help on the contents of that page.
The Configuration Management System is password protected. If you are starting
it for the first time, it asks you to enter and confirm an administrative password. If
the device has an administrative password, the default Web browser prompts for
username and password (you need not enter the username – only the password is
required).
The following table summarizes the Access Point 8000 configuration pages.
