Pre-Installation Configuration
Access the Web Interface
Figure 17. Enable Management VLAN
Click Enable next to Management VLAN and enter the VLAN ID in the field below. Click
Update Settings to confirm changes.
Change SSID and Encryption Method
NOTE: If these changes are made after the units are mounted, make the changes to the
remote unit, whether it be Root or Non-Root, first to avoid loss of connection.
At factory default, the Root bridge will have a unique SSID and WPA-PSK passphrase which
matches that of the Non-Root bridge. Changing these values will cause the two bridge
units to be unable to communicate with one another unless the values match. To change
the SSID, encryption method and passphrase, open the Configuration > Wireless page.
Enter a unique SSID in the SSID field and click Update Settings, as shown in
Figure 18.
NOTE: Write down all the entries made in this step, as you will need to reenter them later
when you configure the non-root bridge.
