RUNNING THE SETUP WIZARD
Accessing the Wizard 3Com recommends that you perform the initial Access Point configuration
from a computer that is directly connected to the LAN port and not from a
wireless connection.
However, you may configure the Access Point from a wireless admin
computer but, note that you may lose contact with the Access Point if you
change the wireless configuration. To communicate with the Access Point,
your wireless NIC should be set as follows:
■ Encryption — none
■ Service Area Name/SSID — 3Com
The Access Point setup program is Web-based, which means that it is
accessed through your Web browser (Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer or
Mozilla).
To use the Setup Wizard:
1 Ensure that you have at least one computer connected to the Access Point.
Refer to Chapter 2
for details on how to do this.
2 Insert the Access Point CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on your computer. A
menu will appear; select Discovery.
Discovery will find the Access Point even if it is unconfigured or
misconfigured.
