Configuration Notes

o

For a new access point installation, the default WLAN Service Area (ESSID) is 3Com and no 
security is set. Unless it detects a DHCP server on the network, the access point uses Auto IP 
to assign an IP address of the form 169.254.2.1. 

o

Use the 3Com Wireless Infrastructure Device Manager to locate 3Com Wireless LAN devices 
and launch their configurations. When installing the device manager, make sure the computer 
is connected to the same network as the device to be configured. After installing and 
launching the device manager, select the device to be configured from network tree and click 
Configure to launch the configuration Web interface. Refer to the Access Points 8250/8500/
8750 User Guide (included on the installation CD) for detailed information and instructions 
on locating and configuring access points. 

o

If you experience difficulty with the installation, see the Troubleshooting section of the 
User Guide.

For the latest information, see the 3Com Corporation World Wide Web site: http://www.3com.com/.
