The wireless access points can be accessed and managed by Cisco Small
Business network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT
Network Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover
all supported Cisco Small Business devices in the same local network
segment as your computer. You can get a snapshot view of each device
or launch the product configuration utility to view and configure the
settings. For more information, see www.cisco.com/go/findit.

The wireless access points are Bonjour-enabled and automatically
broadcast their services and listen for services being advertised by other
Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a Bonjour-enabled browser, such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac
Safari browser, you can find the wireless access point on your local
network without knowing its IP address.
You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet
Explorer browser from Apple's website by visiting:
