(Optional) If you use a WLSM switch module as the WDS device on your
network, choose Specified Discovery and enter the IP address of the
WLSM in the entry field.
When you enable Specified Discovery, the access point immediately
authenticates with the WDS device instead of waiting for WDS
advertisements. If the WDS device that you specify does not respond, the
access point waits for WDS advertisements.
5.
In the Username field, enter a username for the access point.
This username must match the username that you create for the access
point on your authentication server.
6.
In the Password field, enter a password for the access point, and enter the
password again in the Confirm Password field.
