Access Point Manager
When Access Point Manager (APM) is installed on a computer in the network,
you can change all operating parameters of the Access Point. The APM enables
you to configure and monitor the operational performance of your network.
You can install the APM on as many computers in your network as you want,
either wired or wireless. The choice for a wireless or wired computer depends on
your preferences and your network configuration.
Verifying the TCP/IP Protocol Settings
Any computer you install the APM on must have TCP/IP networking protocol
installed to be able to communicate with the Access Point. Using Windows
Control Panel, double-click Network and check that TCP/IP is installed. If
TCP/IP is not installed, install it (refer to TCP/IP Addressing on page 10 for a
proper IP addressing).
All Access Points are
shipped with a factory-
set IP Address of
192.168.1.1 to allow
your APM computer to
communicate with new
Access Points.
