Select the 

Login

 button to load the management interface.

If this is the first time the management interface has been accessed, you are prompted to 
change the default password, and a dialogue displays to start the 

Initial Setup Wizard

6.

Select the 

Start Wizard

 button to run the initial setup wizard.

The setup wizard displays the first time the AP-6511 user interface is accessed in order to 
define the AP-6511’s configuration.

Once these settings have been defined, and the AP-6511 has successfully been deployed or 
adopted by a Controller AP, the Initial Setup Wizard no longer displays in subsequent logins. 

NOTE

When navigating the Initial Setup Wizard, the left-hand side of the 
Wizard can either display a topology 

Diagram

 or an 

Event Log

 of the 

tasks completed or failed during the AP-6511 configuration. Motorola 
recommends periodically reviewing the topology and log to assess 
whether the tasks completed thus far have satisfied their intended 
AP-6511 deployment requirements. Once the tasks within the Initial 
Setup Wizard are completed, the user can navigate within the AP-6511 
user interface to complete a broader range of configuration activities. For 
advanced configuration information beyond the scope of this AP-6511 
Installation Guide, refer to the
