Configuring the Access Point/Bridge for the First
Time
This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on your access point/bridge for the first time using
the web-browser interface. You can configure all the settings described in this chapter using the
command-line interface (CLI), but it might be simplest to browse to the access point/bridge’s
web-browser interface to complete the initial configuration and then use the CLI to enter additional
settings for a more detailed configuration.
