Step 6
Enter the configuration settings you obtained from your system administrator. The configurable settings
include:
• System Name— The system name, while not an essential setting, helps identify the access point on
your network. The system name appears in the titles of the management system pages.
Note You can enter up to 32 characters for the system name. However, when the access point
identifies itself to client devices, it uses only the first 15 characters in the system name. If it
is important for client users to distinguish between access points, make sure a unique portion
of the system name appears in the first 15 characters.
Note When you change the system name, the access point resets the radios, causing associated
client devices to disassociate and quickly reassociate.
