Managing the Access Points

There are several methods that you can use to manage the access
points. You can use:

‰ AT-WA7500 Family Configuration Wizard. You can use this wizard

to add and replace access points, rotate security parameters,
clone access points, and view changes from factory defaults. You
install this wizard from the AT-WA7500 CD that shipped with the
access point. This wizard discovers (and can configure) all the
access points that are on the same Ethernet segment and subnet
as the PC it is installed on. For more information, run the wizard.

‰ a web browser. For help, see Using a Web Browser Interface on

page 37.

‰ a communications program, such as HyperTerminal. For help, see

Using a Communications Program on page 35.

‰ a telnet session. Go to an MS-DOS prompt and type telnet

IPaddress, where IPaddress has the form x.x.x.x and x is a number
from 0 to 255. For more help, see Using a Communications
Program
on page 35. The interface looks similar.

‰ an SNMP management station. For help, see Using Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) on page 193.
