Using AP Quick Start to Initialize the Access Point
Installation and Configuration Guide: Airgo Access Point 31
To connect to the AP using the web browser interface requires an IP connection to the AP network
and a computer with a browser capable of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. Follow these
steps:
1 Launch the web browser.
a If your network has a DHCP server, enter the DHCP-assigned address of the AP in the
address bar.
b If your network does not use a DHCP server, assign the static address 192.168.1.1/24 to your
computer, and then enter https://192.168.1.254 in the browser address bar.
2 Depending on the browser security settings, a security alert may open with a prompt on
whether to accept the Airgo security certificate. Click Ye s to accept the certificate and to open
the login panel.
3 In the login panel, enter or confirm the administrative user name, enter the password, select a
language, and click OK to open the web interface. The factory default for administrator access
is user name: admin. If the AP has not been initialized, the user name field is grayed out. The
factory default password is shipped with the AP on a paper insert. Use the password from the
insert to log in.
4 The system response at this point depends upon whether the AP has already been initialized.
a If the AP has been initialized, the Home feature panel opens. See “The Home Panel” on
page 37.
b If the AP has not been initialized, the QuickStart Welcome panel opens. Use the QuickStart
panels, described in the next section, to quickly configure the AP.
Using AP Quick Start to Initialize the Access Point
When accessing the web interface for the first time or after resetting the AP to factory defaults, the
Welcome panel of the AP Quick Start Wizard opens (Figure 18). From this panel, initialize the AP
in either of two roles:
• Normal Access Point
• Portal Access Point (NM Portal)
NOTE: Each AP has DHCP enabled by default. If you are installing the AP on a
network that already has a DHCP server, enter the DHCP-assigned address of the AP to
access the web interface.
