Entering Basic Settings
Entering Basic Settings
You can open the access point’s management system through your Internet browser or through the access
point’s console port using a terminal emulator. Each method is described in this section.
Using an Internet browser
Follow these steps to enter basic settings with an Internet browser:
Step 1 Enter or paste your access point’s IP address in the browser’s address or location field; if you are using
Netscape, the field is labeled Netsite or Location; if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the field
is labeled Address. Press Enter.
Step 2 When the access point’s Summary Status page appears, click Setup. When the Setup page appears, click
Express Setup. The Express Setup screen appears (Figure 3-3).
Note If the access point is new and its factory configuration has not been changed, the Express Setup
screen appears instead of the Summary Status screen when you first browse to the access point.

Step 3
Enter a system name for the access point in the System Name field. A descriptive system name makes it
easy to identify the access point on your network. The default system name is AIR-AP1200-xxxxxx,
where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the access point MAC address.
