Access Point's AP Name as its own. Only one Virtual Controller can be
designated.
• Country Name - Set the country specific to this Access Point's deployment
location. Selecting the correct country is central to legal operation. Each country
has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the
maximum RF signal strength that can be transmitted.
• Timezone - Use the drop-down menu to specify the geographic timezone where
the Access Point is deployed. Different geographic time zones have daylight
savings clock adjustments, so specifying the timezone correctly is important to
account for geographic time changes.
• Date & Time -Set the date, hour and minute for the Access Point's current system
time. Specify whether the current time is in the AM or PM.
• WLAN 1 Name - Provide a unique name for this WLAN as its network identifier.
This is a required setting. The name is used for the SSID and is assigned to both
of the Access Point's radios.
• Authentication - Select PSK to apply a 64 character maximum passphrase.
Provide the passphrase in either ASCII or Hex format.The authenticating device
must use the same PSK algorithm during authentication. Selecting Show displays
the key in exposed plain text (not recommended).
Selecting Open is not a recommended authentication scheme, as it would
provide the Access Point's WLAN no security via credential exchange and
would only make sense in a network where no sensitive data is either
transmitted or received.

configuration. Select Discard to revert to the last saved configuration.
The Virtual Controller, Country Name, Timezone and Date & Time portions of the

Assist screen. WLAN updates made in Startup Assist are displayed in Wireless
screen, not the Basic Configuration screen.
