Tasks for Your First ProCurve Web
Browser Interface Session
The ProCurve AP530 Installation and Getting Started Guide includes
instructions for a minimal initial configuration using the CLI on a console
attached to the access point. This configuration included:
Setting the administrator password (which secures the access point
■
management interface from unauthorized access)
Setting the IP address and subnet mask of the access point to be consistent
■
with your local network settings (which allows inband access to the Web
browser interface from the wired network)
■ Setting the access point country code (which, if needed, can only be done
using the CLI)
Optionally enabling one of the radios (which allows inband access to the
■
Web browser interface from the wireless network)
After performing the initial out-of-band configuration, it is usually more
convenient to continue the configuration process inband, using the Web
browser interface.
Some of important tasks that you may wish to be familiar with are described

Changing the Management Password

You normally want to change the password to enhance access security for the
management interface on your access point. The password allows read and
write access to the Web browser interface.
