Starting the Web-Based Configuration Utility

This section describes system requirements and how to navigate the web-based configuration utility.

Supported Browsers

• Internet Explorer 7.0 or later
• Chrome 5.0 or later
• Firefox 3.0 or later
• Safari 3.0 or later

Browser Restrictions

• If you are using Internet Explorer 6, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address to access the AP. You can, however, use the Domain Name System (DNS) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.
• When using Internet Explorer 8, you can configure security settings from Internet Explorer. Select Tools > Internet Options and then select the Security tab. Select Local Intranet and select Sites. Select Advanced and then select Add. Add the intranet address of the AP (http://<ip-address>) to the local intranet zone. The IP address can also be specified as the subnet IP address, so that all addresses in the subnet are added to the local intranet zone.
• If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 local address to access the AP from your browser.

Logging Out

By default, the web-based AP configuration utility logs out after 10 minutes of inactivity. See LED Display for instructions on changing the default timeout period.

To log out, click Logout in the top right corner of the web-based AP configuration utility.
