Step Description
Select Discovery OEM Device Name This parameter allows you to name the device uniquely or
group it into a functional set. When device discovery is used this
name identifies the found device.
If you wanted to uniquely identify the device you could mark it
with a label like Dev1, for example, and then enter Dev1 in this
field. When the device is found it will identify itself as Dev1.
Alternately you could indicate the type of equipment the device
is attached to, like a Haas TL-2 (CNC Turning Center), by giving
the unit a name like Haas_TL_2. When discovered you can then
identify the device you are accessing.
Enter the text string if you wish to change the default value.
This field is optional.

on the wired port. All devices can be on the same subnet and
wireless clients will have access to resources on the wired port.

When the Ethernet port is in Bridge mode, the DHCP server will
provide IP addresses for Ethernet clients also.
Select WLAN DHCP This parameter is ignored in AP mode.

setting.
