Now you need to configure the other wireless access points on your network to do the same things. For each access point, take the following steps. 1 From a computer on the wired network, enter the access point's IP address and login to its Web configurator. See Table 3 on page 54 for the example IP addresses. 2 Import the friendly AP list. Click ROGUE AP > Configuration > Browse....

Click Refresh. If any of the MAC addresses from Section 3.4.1 on page 55 appear in the list, the friendly AP function may be incorrectly configured - check the ROGUE AP > Friendly AP screen.
