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 will
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. (For more information, see “Understanding Dynamic and
Static IP Addressing on the AT-WA7400 Management Software” on
page 23.)
To start the discovery process, perform the following procedure:
1. Do one of the following to create an Ethernet connection between the
access point and your computer:
ˆ Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the
access point and the other end to the same hub where your PC is
connected.
ˆ Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the
access point and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on
your PC.
