The Web interface has two primary sections:
■ The menu: Located on the left-hand side of the page, the menu contains
links to the primary configuration options on the Web interface. Menu
items are grouped into four categories:
• Information (default home page): Shows information about the
access point, including the MAC address, firmware version, current
IP address settings, and configured wireless networks.
• Setup: Contains options for configuring the essential access point
settings, such as basic IP address settings, basic wireless settings,
security settings, and access control.
• Management: Contains options for performing administrative tasks
on the access point, including changing the password, uprading the
firmware, backing up and restoring settings, viewing the list of asso-
ciated wireless stations, and rebooting the access point.
• Advanced Settings: Contains options for configuring advanced
wireless radio settings and changing the SNMP community names
used by the access point.
■ The information pane: Shows related configuration options for each
item on the menu. For example, if you click IP Settings on the menu, the
information pane loads the parameters that you can set or edit, and then
save for your desired configuration change to take effect.
