System Name
The system name appears in the titles of the management system pages and in the
access point’s Association Table page. The system name is not an essential
setting, but it helps identify the access point on your network.
The access point’s Media Access Control (MAC) address appears under the
system name. The MAC address is a unique serial number permanently assigned
to the access point’s Ethernet controller. You cannot change the access point’s
MAC address.
Configuration Server Protocol
Set the Configuration Server Protocol to match the network's method of IP
address assignment. Click the Configuration Server link to jump to the Boot
Server Setup page, which contains detailed settings for configuring the access
point to work with your network’s BOOTP or DHCP servers for automatic
assignment of IP addresses.
The Configuration Server Protocol drop-down menu contains the following
options:
• None—Your network does not have an automatic system for IP address
assignment.
• BOOTP—With Bootstrap Protocol, IP addresses are hard-coded based on
MAC addresses.
• DHCP—With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, IP addresses are
“leased” for predetermined periods of time.
