Step 6 Enter the configuration settings you obtained from your system administrator. The configurable settings
include:
• Host Name—The host name, while not an essential setting, helps identify the wireless device on
your network. The host 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 wireless device
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 wireless devices, make sure that a unique
portion of the system name appears in the first 15 characters.
Note When you change the system name, the wireless device resets the radios, causing associated
client devices to disassociate and quickly reassociate.
• Configuration Server Protocol—Click the radio button that matches the network method of IP
address assignment.
–
DHCP—IP addresses are automatically assigned by your network DHCP server.
–
Static IP—The wireless device uses a static IP address that you enter in the IP address field.
