8 Update the Administrator Access field to change the administrative password used to access the
configuration settings.
9 Refer to the Login Message field to optionally define a message displayed to the customer as they
login into the access point.
Shared Secret Define a shared secret for authentication on the server.
The shared secret is required to be the same as the
shared secret defined on the RADIUS server. Use shared
secrets to verify RADIUS messages (with the exception of
the Access-Request message) sent by a RADIUS-enabled
device configured with the same shared secret.
Apply the qualifications of a well-chosen password to the
generation of a shared secret. Generate a random, case-
sensitive string using letters and numbers. The default is
admin123.
Change Admin
Password
Click the Change Admin Password button to display a
screen for updating the AP administrator password. Enter
and confirm a new administrator password as required.
Message Settings Click the Message Settings button to display a screen
used to create a text message. Once displayed, select the
Enable Login Message checkbox to allow your customized
message to be displayed when the user is logging into the
access point. If the checkbox is not selected (as is the
case by default), the user will encounter the login screen
with no additional message.
When the login message function is enabled, the user can
enter a (511 character maximum) message describing any
usage caveat required (such as the authorization
disclaimer displayed on the following page). Thus, the
login message can serve an important function by
discouraging unauthorized users from illegally managing
the access point. As your message is entered, the
character usage counter is updated to allow you to
visualize how close you are coming to the maximum
allowed number of characters. Click the Clear button at
any time to remove the contents of the message and begin
a new one. Once you have finished creating your
message, click the OK button to return to the AP35xx
access screen.
