Description
Ethernet Connection to
the Access Point
The computer used to configure the first access point must be connected
to the access point by an Ethernet cable.
For more information on this step, see
“Installing the Access Point”
on
page 25.
Wireless Connection to
the Network
After initial configuration and launch of the first access point on your new
wireless network, you can make subsequent configuration changes
through the Administration Web pages using a wireless connection to the
internal network. For wireless connection to the access point, your
administration device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any
wireless client:
Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more of
the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access point.
Wireless client software configured to associate with the Unified
Access Point.
