Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your access point for the first time. The
contents of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with your
access point. You can configure all the settings described in this chapter using the CLI, but it might be
simplest to browse to the access point’s web-browser interface to complete the initial configuration and
then use the CLI to enter additional settings for a more detailed configuration.
