Configuring the AP Using the RoamAbout Access Point Manager
4-4 Configuring Your Access Point
When you first establish communications with the AP, you will be prompted for some
general information and then prompted for your wireless parameters. It is highly
recommended that you change the ‘Wireless Network Name’ from the default. ALL
APs and clients on the LAN must share the same ‘Wireless Network Name’.
The figures below show the Wireless Network Name and the Station Name being
changed. These changes will take effect after the next AP reset. To reset the AP, select
‘Reset/Reload’ from the AP Manager and then select ‘Reset with Current Settings’.
You can continue at add all your APs within a wireless domain (defined by the same
Wireless Network Name) so that they all show up in one Managed List for future
changes. Before you EXIT, make sure to save your configuration (you will be
prompted). If you are managing APs in multiple domains (different Wireless Network
Names) you should save these APs in a separate file name.
Other management functions you can perform from this utility include: basic protocol
filters, looking at AP statistics, looking at AP hardware (version numbers, MAC
addresses, amount of memory, and card type), troubleshooting (last 4 error messages),
and resetting the AP.
