•
AP Name - Provide an AP Name used as this Access Point’s network identifier. If
setting this Access Point as a Virtual Controller, each Access Point managed by this
Virtual Controller lists this Access Point’s AP Name as its own. The AP Name is a
required parameter.
•
Country Code - If the Country Code was not set when the Access Point was initially
powered on, set the country now to ensure the Access Point’s legal operation. The
Access Point’s wireless capabilities are disabled until the required country code is set.
NOTE
At some point in the Access Point’s initial setup, the default password should be
changed to enhance the security of the Access Point managed network. Refer to the
Configuration > Management screen to change the default password to a more secure
password.
