Modifying System Information
The access point’s system name can be left at its default setting. However,
modifying this parameter can help you to more easily distinguish one device
from another in your network.
Note You should also set the applicable WLANs (BSS/SSID) to identify the wireless
network service provided by the access point. See
“Configuring the Radio” on
page 6-6
.
Web: Setting the System Name, Location, and Contact
To modify the access point’s system parameters, use the Device Information
screen (the Home page or default screen).
The Web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ System Name: An alias for the access point only, enabling the device to
be uniquely identified on the network. Setting must be at least 1 character
and a maximum of 63 characters long . (The default is ProCurve AP-530.)
■ Location: The access point’s assigned location. (The default is not set.)
■ Contact: The name of the Administrator responsible for the system. (The
default is not set.)
■ [Update]: Updates the system information.
