5. Follow the instructions on your screen. If not available yet, a special Alvarion

group in the Windows Programs menu will be created. This group will

provide access to the AP Manager software to configure your Base Station.

During the installation, you will be prompted for a directory to install the

program files. The default directory for the AP Manager program is:

C:\Programs\Alvarion\Client Manager

Throughout this manual, we make references to a variety of files. Unless

otherwise specified, you will find these files in this default directory.

NOTE:

Previously installed versions of the Client Manager program will automatically be replaced,

without affecting any other file that you might have saved into the program’s directory. For

example if you saved back-ups of Base Station configuration files which you created with

the previous version in the Base Station program folders, these files will not be deleted or

overwritten.
