use of a computer that is networked with the Access Point.
For a basic network setup, most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Setup
On the
Setup
screen, enter your basic network settings (IP address) here.
•
Management
Click the
Administration
tab and then select the
Management
screen. The Access Point’s default password
