# Configuration

You configure the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point through a browser-based Access Point Configuration Management System. This management system resides on the access point and can be viewed from a client workstation connected to the access point directly or over a network.

For instructions on how to access the Configuration Management System, see access point installation and setup.

## The Access Point Online Help File

An online help file describes the features in each of the screens in the Access Point Configuration Management System. There are two ways to view the online help file.

- To view the access point online help file directly, without configuring it for use with the Access Point Configuration Management System, click here.
- To view the access point online help file by clicking the Help button in the Configuration Management System browser interface, you have to install the online help file on a management client workstation or server and configure the Access Point Configuration Management System to display it. For instructions on how to install and configure the help file, see the following section.

## Help File Installation

#### Install the help file on a web server (recommended):

1. Create a directory for the help file. For example: D:\Intel\Wireless\Ap\Help.

2. Create an alias for the help path. For example: HelpPath.
3. Copy the file WAP50HLP.HTM from the directory WIRELESS\GUIDES\APHelp\5000 on the Intel CD-ROM to the directory created in Step 1.
4. On the Express Setup or Configuration screen in the access point Configuration Management System, enter the following URL in the field “Help URL”: HTTP://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/HelpPath, where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of the web server. Click Apply.

#### If no web server is available, install the help file on a client workstation:

This option is only available if your browser is Internet Explorer.

1. Create a directory for the help file. For example: C:\Intel\Wireless\Ap\Help.
2. Copy the file WAP50HLP.HTM from the directory WIRELESS\GUIDES\APHelp\5000 on the Intel CD-ROM to the directory created in Step 1.
3. On the Express Setup or Configuration screen in the access point Configuration Management System, enter the path to the directory created in Step 1 (C:\Intel\Wireless\Ap\Help in the example above) in the field “Help URL” and click Apply.

Be sure that the help file installed on the local machine or web server is identical to the file found on the Intel CD-ROM in the location WIRELESS\GUIDES\APHelp\5000\WAP50HLP.HTM, or a later version downloaded from the Intel web site.
