Properties, Performance and Beacon Settings, those fields can also be defined at this

Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the 2.4 or 5
GHz 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
CAUTION
Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access point radio configuration.
Refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation for an understanding of the configurable
values involved and their implications.
NOTE
Even an access point configured with minimal values must protect its data against theft and
corruption. A security policy should be configured for WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration
outlined in this guide. A security policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick
Setup screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed as the access
point’s security requirements change. Extreme Networks recommends you familiarize yourself
with the security options available on the access point before defining a security policy.

the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost,
unless you use the Un-applied Changes pop-up window to overwrite the current
settings.
10 Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts
the settings displayed on the Quick Setup screen to the last saved configuration.
Configuring Basic Security
For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported
authentication scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security scheme

more sophisticated authentication and encryption options available to the access point,
refer to the Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at
http://www.extremenetworks.com/go/documentation .
