Starting a Configuration Tool
To modify AP parameters after installing the AP, you need to use the RoamAbout
Access Point Manager or a device connected to the console port. The following
sections describe how to start each tool.
RoamAbout Access Point Manager
If you have installed the RoamAbout Access Point Manager on a computer, go to that
computer, click the Start button on the Windows desktop, and select:
Programs
→RoamAbout→RoamAbout Access Point Manager
The program starts with the following screen.
To manage APs from the AP Manager, you need to add the APs by selecting the
Setup/Add New Access Point button. First, you are prompted to add a new AP with
or without an IP address. If the AP has an IP address, select NO; otherwise, select YES
and fill in the required information.
When you first establish communications with the AP, you are prompted for some
general information and then prompted for your wireless parameters. It is highly
recommended that you change the Wireless Network Name from the default, as
described in “Wireless Parameters” on page 4-6.
