Installing the AP Manager

The Access Point (AP) can be manually configured using the "AP Manager". Follow the
below instructions to install this software.

1. Connect the AP to a computer using the included USB cable. The computer does not

have to be a node in the network (any network or non-network PC can be used to run the
AP Manager software).

2. Windows will notify you with a "New Hardware Found" dialog box. Following this, the

Windows installation wizard will detect the AP.

3. Insert the installation CD into your CDROM drive and click "Next".

l

Windows 98
- Select "Search for the best driver for your device", and click "Next". Specify to search

the CD Rom drives (check the box) and click "Next".

l

Windows ME/2000
- Select the "Automatic Search" option and click "Next".

4. Windows will find the drivers located on the CD and begin to install them. This may take

several minutes.

5. When completed click "Finish". You will next be asked to reboot the computer. Click

"Yes".

Note: If the system does not shut down (or restart) within 2 minutes, manually power down the

computer and then power it back up.

6. After the restart, the software installation will continue automatically. Follow the

instructions on the screen to install the software. You will be asked some basic questions
including:

l

Agreement to the (blank) license agreement

l

Your name and company name

l

SSID (This will be the SSID or network name immediately after installation, note that you
can always change this after the installation).

7. After the software installation you may be asked to reboot once more, after which the

installation is complete.

Important: On most systems it is necessary that you reset the AP after installation of the

software. At this time, reset the AP using the reset button or by "power-cycling" the
AP. You can now use the AP Device Manager.
