Run KickStart To Find Access Points On The Network
4.4 Run KickStart To Find Access Points On The Network
KickStart is an easy-to-use utility for discovering and identifying new 9160 Wire-
less Gateways. KickStart scans the network looking for access points, and displays
ID details on those it finds.
Notes: Keep in mind that KickStart (and the other Administration tools) recognizes
and configures only 9160 Wireless Gateways. KickStart will not find or con-
figure non Psion Teklogix Inc. access points. Kickstart will not find any
other devices.
Run Kickstart only in the subnet of the “Internal” network (SSID). Do not
run Kickstart on the guest subnetwork.
Kickstart will find only those access points that have IP addresses. IP
addresses are dynamically assigned to APs if you have a DHCP server
running on the network. Keep in mind that if you deploy the AP on a net-
work with no DHCP server, the default static IP address (192.168.1.10) will
be used.
Important: Use caution with non-DHCP enabled networks: Do not deploy
more than one new AP on a non-DHCP network because they
will use the same default static IP addresses and conflict with
each other. (For more information, see “Understanding Dynamic
And Static IP Addressing On The 9160 Wireless Gateway” on
page 28 and “How Does The Access Point Obtain An IP Address
At Startup?” on page 29.)
Run the KickStart CD-ROM on a laptop or computer that is connected to the same
network as your access points and use it to step through the discovery process
as follows:
1. Insert the KickStart Wizard CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
The Kickstart window should display automatically. If not, navigate to the
CD-ROM drive and run the CD using AutoPlay or the
ks.jar executable.
The KickStart Welcome screen is displayed.
