ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series Installation and Getting Started Guide 3-15
Network Setup
Initial Configuration Using the CLI
Because an Access Controller Module does not provide its own browser-based Administrative Console,
the initial system configuration must be done using the CLI, as explained in the ProCurve Series 5300xl
Switches Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Note: See Appendix A in the “ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series Management and Configuration
Guide” for a complete list of CLI commands.
Completing the Installation
You can complete the configuration of your Access Controller Module through the Administrative
Console.
Note: Beyond the basic setup, all Access Controller Module configuration must be done through the
Access Control Server Administrative Console.
Once the Access Controller Module is initially configured using the CLI, the Access Controller Module
should initiate communication with the Access Control Server. Once this has occurred, the Access
Controller Module should appear as a system component in the Access Control Server’s Administrative
Console.
Note: You can access online Help from within the Administrative Console at any time by clicking the
HELP button. This displays a separate window containing Help about the page you are viewing.
Step 1. Point your browser to the IP address of the Access Control Server, and log on to the
Administrative Console.
