Chapter 3: Access Point Configuration
Introduction
The 3e–525C–2 comes with the capability to be configured as an access
point. As it incorporates two separate 802.11 wireless cards, one for con-
figuring a local WLAN and one for use in bridging, it can also be config-
ured for bridging, with the access point configuration on the WLAN side.
Configuration for bridging is discussed in Chapter 4.
Preliminary Configuration Steps
For preliminary installation the 3e–525C–2 network administrator
may need the following information:
• PC/laptop with one of the following operating systems installed:
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
• A web browser program, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
or later, or Netscape 6.2 or later, installed on the PC/laptop used

LAN that are available to be used for assignment to the AP(s)
• Subnet Mask for the LAN
• Default IP address of the 3e–525C–2

• SSID – an ID number/letter string that you want to use in the con-
figuration process to identify all members of the wireless LAN.
• The MAC addresses of all the wireless cards that will be used to
access the 3e–525C–2 network of access points (if MAC address
filtering is to be enabled)
