Configuring Access Points in Standalone Mode

CIS access points can be centrally managed via the Wi-Fi manager on CIS
routers, or they can operate as standalone units. This section includes
instructions for setting up access points as standalone units.

Setting the SSID

Select the

Wireless

tab from the left toolbar. You can view the networks

under the

WiFi

interfaces tab. The 2.4 and 5 GHz bands have their own

separate networks you can modify individually. Use the ‘E’ and ‘D’ buttons to enab

le and disable the

wireless networks.

Click on one of the networks, then enter your SSID in the

SSID

box. Remember to change it for both the

2.4 GHz network and 5 GHz network! (CIS-ACWAP only).
