Wi-FI Mini-PIM Configuration Overview
Before you configure the Mini-PIM, configure the network settings on the SRX Series device and connect the device to
your network. For details, see the Hardware Guide for your SRX Series device.
Configure the following settings for the access point:
•
Name for the access point
•
Interface—The interface name for the AP is denoted as wl-x/0/0, where x is the slot on the services gateway in which
the Mini-PIM is installed.
•
Country code—The country code setting identifies the regulatory domain in which the access point operates.
The country code affects the radio modes, list of channels, and radio transmission power that the access point can
support. Ensure that you select the correct code for the country in which the access point operates so that the access
point complies with the regulations in that country.
