Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
This chapter describes how to configure basic settings on the wireless device for the first time. The
contents of this chapter are similar to the instructions in the quick start guide that shipped with the
wireless device. You can configure all the settings described in this chapter using the CLI, but it might
be simplest to browse to the wireless device web-browser interface to complete the initial configuration
and then use the CLI to enter additional settings for a more detailed configuration.
