Running KickStart to Find Access Points on

the Network

KickStart is an easy-to-use utility for discovering and identifying
new AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Points. KickStart scans the
network looking for access points, displays ID details on those it
finds, and provides access to the AT-WA7400 Management
Software.

Note

KickStart (and the other AT-WA7400 tools) recognizes and
configures only AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Points. KickStart
does not find or configure non-AT-WA7400 Wireless Access
Points and will not find any other devices.

Note

Run KickStart only in the subnet of the internal network (

SSID

).

Note

KickStart finds only those access points that have IP addresses.
IP addresses are dynamically assigned to access points if you
have a

DHCP

server running on the network. If you deploy the

access point on a network with no DHCP server, the default
static IP address (192.168.1.230) is used.

Caution

Use caution with non-DHCP enabled networks: Do not
deploy more than one new access point on a non-DHCP
network because they will use the same default static IP
addresses and conflict with each other.
