Since each network is unique, the WL520 must be configured to operate in your network environment.
Most administrators use the HTTP Interface (web browser) for configuration; however, the Command Line Interface (CLI)
provides the same functionality by entering CLI Commands or scripts from Terminal and Telnet sessions. For information about
using the CLI, please refer to Using the Command Line Interface .
In some scenarios described in this chapter, you need to make configuration choices (for example, which radio channel to use).
This guide explains each choice. When in doubt, we suggest you accept the default values.
