4.1.1 Discover the Access Point
Before you can configure the access point it’s necessary that the server will discover it.
The following points have to be observed:
l Connect your machine to the same network as the AP
l Plug in the power supply of the access point
l During the boot process of the access point, start the ESLServer software on the computer
l When the access point is booted up, the server will discovery it with an IP address (Note:
The discovering process may take up to 2 minutes)
l Use the ESLClient to connect to your ESLServer
l Under System – Access Point Status – the AP should be listed as discovered (after suc-
cessful boot sequence)
l One Column of the AP should show now the IP address
l Now you’re able to configure the access point via AP-2010 web management interface
under
http://<DHCP-IP-address> or a right click on the discovered AP –> Open in
browser…
