Configuration
You configure an access point through the Access Point Configuration Management System. It
contains several configuration screens, each of which is displayed in a browser.
The Access Point Online Help File
An online help file describes the features in each of the screens in the Access Point Configuration
Management System. There are two ways to view the online help file.
To view the Access Point online help file now, without using the Access Point
Configuration Management System, click here

To view the Access Point online help file as you are viewing or changing settings in the
configuration screens, you have to install the online help file on a management client
workstation or server and configure the Access Point Configuration Management System
to display it. After the installation and configuration, click the Help button on a
configuration screen to display help information pertinent to that screen. For instructions
on how to install the help file, click here
