System Parameters The AP has configuration options to operate the unit, including security access
and interface control. Some parameters do not require modification. To configure
the system parameters, follow the procedure below.
1 Select Configuration-->System
The System Setup page displays
2 Type the AP’s name in the Unit Name text box.
3 Enter the appropriate value for Channel.
The table below lists the direct-sequence channel settings for the operating
countries.
4 Check Enabled or Disabled for Mobile IP.
5 Type a security key in the Mobile-Home MD5 Key text box. This security word key
is used for Mobile-Home registration and authentication.
6 Select the status of the Ethernet Timeout and enter the number of seconds
between 30 and 255.
This feature disables radio interface if no activity is detected on the Ethernet line
after the seconds indicated. The AP disassociates wireless clients and prevents
further associations with itself until it detects Ethernet activity.
If the Ethernet Timeout is disabled when the Ethernet connection is broken, the
AP clears the wireless client table and disables the RF interface until the Ethernet
connection is restored.
If the Ethernet Timeout is enabled when the Ethernet connection is broken , the AP
sets the time-out value to zero (0) and attempts to associate with another WLAP in
the network.
7 Enter a value in seconds for Agent AD Interval. This specifies the interval in
seconds between the mobility agent advertisement transmission. The default is 0.
8 Enable or disable interfaces on the AP.
