Using the Configuration Management System From the Configuration Management System main page, you can select which configuration page to view by clicking on the page names in the navigation tree in the left-hand frame. The corresponding content is displayed in the main window. Each page has a question mark icon in the upper-right corner that you can use to display help on the contents of that page. The Configuration Management System is password protected. If you are starting it for the first time, it asks you to enter and confirm an administrative password. If the device has an administrative password, the default Web browser prompts for username and password (you need not enter the username - only the password is required). Any changes you make on a configuration page must be saved before you leave that page. Otherwise, the settings will revert back to the current settings. New settings are applied to the device as each save operation is completed. The following table summarizes the Access Point 8000 configuration pages. Page Group System Configuration Security Management Tools Statistics Description The system configuration pages are concerned with high-level network management, including access point properties, network properties, and data transmission properties. The Security pages allow you to set up authentication and encryption, control access, and set up access point RADIUS server parameters. The Management pages let you configure the access point for use with third-party SNMP management programs, specify the TFTP server you will use for various administrative functions, and set up the access point system log. Use the Tools pages to upgrade access point firmware, change the administration password, restore factory defaults, and reset the access point. The Statistics pages display various categories of operational and performance statistics associated with the access point.
