Placement

Use the

Placement

drop-down menu to specify whether the radio

is located outdoors or indoors. Default placement depends on the
country of operation selected for the access point.

MAC Address

The access point, like other Ethernet devices, has a unique,
hardware encoded Media Access Control (MAC) or IEEE address.
MAC addresses determine the device sending or receiving data. A
MAC address is a 48-bit number written as six hexadecimal bytes
separated by colons. For example: 00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8. For
additional information on access point MAC address assignments,
