configure the AP. (To configure and monitor using the command line interface, see Using CLI to Manage the Access
Point and To configure and monitor using the SNMP interface, see Using SNMP Interface to Manage the Access Point.)
1. Open a Web browser on a network computer.
2. If necessary, disable the browser’s Internet proxy settings. For Internet Explorer users, follow these steps:
–Select Tools > Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab.
Click LAN Settings.
If necessary, remove the check mark from the Use a proxy server box.
Click OK twice to save your changes and return to Internet Explorer.
3. Enter the Access Point’s IP address in the browser’s Address field and press Enter or Go.
This is either the dynamic IP address assigned by a network DHCP server or the static IP address you manually
