Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G Access Point with

Power Over Ethernet

Overview

The Access Point has been designed to be functional right out of the box, with the default settings in the Setup

Wizard. However, if you'd like to change these settings, the Access Point can be configured through your web

browser with the Web-based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the Utility.

The Utility can be accessed via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator through use of a computer that

is networked with the Access Point.

For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:

• Setup

On the Setup screen, enter your basic network settings here.

• Management

Click the Administration tab and then select the Management screen. The Access Point’s default password

is admin. To secure the Access Point, change the AP Password from its default.

Navigating the Utility

There are five main tabs: Setup, Wireless, AP Mode, Administration, and Status. Additional screens will be

available from most of the main tabs.

Setup

Enter the settings for the Access Point and your Internet connection on this screen.

Wireless

You will use the Wireless tabs to enter a variety of wireless settings for the Access Point.

• Basic Wireless Settings. Enter the network mode, Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) settings, SSIDs, and

other settings on this screen.
