What You Need in Order To Begin
• An administrator computer. This is the computer that you will use to set up and test
your new wireless network before adding live wireless clients. On this computer,
you must have
■
Administrator rights
■
A CD-ROM drive
■
An HTML 4.01-compliant Web Browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or
Netscape 7.0 or later) with JavaScript enabled
■
An Ethernet connection to your existing network
The instructions in this guide require that you use a DHCP server. If you do not
have a DHCP server and you want to assign a static IP address to the access
point, see “Setting Up and Launching Your Wireless Network” in the
Adminis-
trator Guide
on the Installation CD-ROM.
• Your Professional Access Point product number, serial number, and MAC addresses,
which are on the label on the bottom of the access point.
USRobotics periodically updates both firmware and documentation for the Professional Access
Point. For the latest updates, visit www.usr.com/support/.
Installing the Access Point
When you install the first Professional Access Point to create a wireless network, you must pro-
vide basic configuration information. Subsequently-added access points automatically use the
same configuration information as the first access point. This guide leads you through the
steps for installing the first access point, including basic configuration. For more information
about installing multiple access points, see the
Administrator Guide on the Installation CD-
ROM.
