Overview of the AP Configuration
The following provides an overview of configuring the AP with the RoamAbout AP
Manager. For detailed procedures, see the RoamAbout 802.11 Wireless Networking Guide
or click the Help button in the AP Manager.
Before you begin, you need the following:
•
A valid unused IP address for each AP from the network administrator.
•
The wireless MAC address of both APs. The wireless MAC address is NOT the same
as the wired MAC address printed on the AP label. Perform one of the following to see
the wireless MAC address:
— If both APs are currently managed by the AP Manager, select each AP from the
Managed List field and click the Hardware button.
— Using the RoamAbout R2 console port at each RoamAbout, choose Current
Settings from the RoamAbout R2 Installation Menu.
— Using the Access Point console port at each Access Point, choose Show Current
Settings from the RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu.
— Check the back of the PC Card used in the APs. The MAC address of the PC Card
is the AP’s wireless MAC address.
1. Install the AP Manager, on a computer located on the same wired network as the AP.
Supported operating systems are Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me, Windows NT (V4.0 or
later), or Windows XP.
2. Open the AP Manager (Start button, Programs
→
RoamAbout
→

Manager).
3. Click the Setup/Add New AP button ( Figure 2-3 ). When prompted, click Yes to load
an IP address. The Load IP Address dialog box appears.
4. Refer to the RoamAbout AP Manager online help and the RoamAbout 802.11 Wireless
Networking Guide for configuration information.
