NOTE

The System Name and Country are also configurable within the System Settings screen. Refer to
Configuring System Settings on page 4-67 (if necessary) to set a system location and admin email
address for the Mobility 7131 Access Point or to view other default settings.

4. Refer to the new Radio Configuration field to define how WLAN and WIPS are supported by the

access point’s radio(s). Remember, the options available depend on the single, dual or three
radio model SKU deployed.

NOTE

If using a three radio model Mobility 7131N Access Point, the radio three configuration option could
be rendered unavailable if Rogue AP detection is enabled, or if the power source cannot provide
adequate power for the third radio.

The Quick Setup screen on the previous page displays the Radio Configuration field with
all 8 radio button options available. This is only the case with three radio access point
SKUs. A dual radio model access point would display 7 of the eight possible configuration
options and a single radio model would display 4. Refer to the following table for the
options available to single, dual and three radio models.

Country

Select the

Country

for the Mobility 7131 Access Point’s country of operation. The access point

prompts for the correct country code on the first login. A warning message also displays stating an
incorrect country setting may result in illegal radio operation. Selecting the correct country is
central to legally operating the access point. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions
concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum RF signal strength that can be
transmitted. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, set the country accurately. CLI and
MIB users cannot configure their access point until a two character country code (for example,
United States - us) is set. Refer to Country Codes on page A-491 for the two character country
codes.

Time Server

Optionally enter the IP address of the server used to provide system time to the Mobility 7131
Access Point within the

Time Server

field. Once the IP address is entered, the Mobility 7131

Access Point’s Network Time Protocol (NTP) functionality is engaged automatically. Refer to
Configuring Network Time Protocol (NTP) on page 4-100 (if necessary) for information on setting
alternate time servers and setting a synchronization interval for the Mobility 7131 Access Point to
adjust its displayed time.

WIPS Servers

Define a primary and alternate WIPS server IP Address for WIPS Server 1 and 2. These are the
addresses of the primary and secondary WIPS console server. WIPS support requires a Brocade
Mobility AirDefense WIPS Server on the network. WIPS functionality is not provided by the access
point alone. The access point works in conjunction with the dedicated WIPS server(s).
