CONFIGURATION

2.5.1 Getting Started

Start by logging into the Access Point radio. This is done first because
the Remotes are dependent on the AP's beacon signal to achieve an
"associated" state.
Once the Access Point is up and running, move the computer connection
to each of the Remote units, log-in at each unit, review their configura-
tion, set their IP addresses, Network Name, and frequency configura-
tion, then wait for each AP to achieve an associated state.
With all units associated, you will be ready to connect and test your data
services.
