Open a terminal emulator.
Step 3 Enter these settings for the connection:
• Bits per second (baud rate): 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: No parity
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Step 4 Press = to display the home page of the access point. If the access point is new and its factory
configuration has not been changed, the Express Setup page appears; if the access point has been
configured, the Summary Status page appears.
Step 5 Press n to select System Name. Type a system name for the access point and press Enter. A descriptive
system name makes it easy to identify the access point on your network.
Step 6 Press t and then press Enter to select Terminal Type. Press t and then press Enter to select teletype
display on the console interface. Press a and then press Enter to select ANSI display on the console
interface.
Step 7 Press pr and then press Enter to select Config Server Protocol. Press n to select none; press b to select
BOOTP; press d to select DHCP. Press Enter after you make your selection.
Step 8 Press ad and then press Enter to select IP Address. Enter an IP address for the access point. If DHCP is
not enabled for your network, the IP address you enter is the access point’s static IP address. If DHCP
is enabled, the address you enter provides the IP address only when no DHCP server responds with an
IP address for the access point.
Step 9 Press su and then press Enter to select IP Subnet Mask. Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the
subnetwork so the access point’s IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is not enabled, the
subnet you enter is the static subnet mask. If DHCP is enabled, your entry provides the subnet mask only
when no DHCP server responds to the access point’s DHCP request.
Step 10 Press g and then press Enter to select Default Gateway. Enter the IP address of your default internet
gateway. The entry 255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway.
Step 11 Press ra and then press Enter to select Radio Service Set ID (SSID). Enter an SSID for the access point.
The SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point. The SSID can
be any alphanumeric entry from two to 32 characters long.
