System Name Specify a device name for the access point. Symbol recommends
selecting a name serving as a reminder of the user base the
access
point
supports (engineering, retail, etc.).
System Location Enter the location of the
access point. The System Location
parameter acts as a reminder of where the AP can be found. Use
the System Name field as a specific identifier of device location.
Use the System Name and System Location fields together to
optionally define the AP name by the radio coverage it supports and
specific physical location. For example, “second floor engineering”
Admin Email Address Specify the AP administrator's email address.
Country The
access point prompts the user for the correct country code
after the first login. A warning message also displays stating that
an incorrect country setting will lead to an illegal use of the access
point. Use the pull-down menu to select the country of operation.
Selecting the correct country is extremely important. Each country
has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic
emissions (channel range) and the maximum RF signal strength
transmitted. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, be
sure to set the Country field correctly.
If using the
access point configuration file, CLI or MIB to configure
the
access points country code, see Country Codes on page A-7.
access point Version The displayed number is the current version of the access point
device firmware. Use this information to determine if the AP is
running the most recent firmware available from Symbol. Use the
Firmware Update screen to keep the AP’s firmware up to date.
For more information, see Updating Device Firmware on page 4-40.
System Uptime Displays the current uptime of the
access point defined in the
System Name field. System Uptime is the cumulative time since
the
access point was last rebooted or lost power.
Serial Number Displays the access point Media Access Control (MAC) address.
The access point MAC address is hard coded at the factory and
cannot be modified. The LAN and WAN port MAC addresses can be
located within the LAN and WAN Stats screens. For information on
locating the access point MAC addresses, see Viewing WAN
Statistics on page 7-2 and Viewing LAN Statistics on page 7-6.
