NOTE: If your Access Point does not show up in the Scan List, click the Rescan button to update the display. If the
unit still does not appear in the list, see Troubleshooting for suggestions. Note that after rebooting an Access
Point, it may take up to five minutes for the unit to appear in the Scan List.

NOTE: Mesh APs must be configured with static IP addresses. To assign the AP a static IP address, follow the

a. Highlight the entry for the AP you want to configure.
b. Click the Change button.
