7. Expand the Configuration menu item and select Basic.
8. Set the following Basic Configuration Settings for this Access Point:
• AP Name - Provide an AP Name used as this Access Point’s network identifier. If
setting this Access Point as a Virtual Controller, each Access Point managed by
this Virtual Controller lists this Access Point’s AP Name as its own. The AP Name
is a required parameter.
• Country Code - If the Country Code was not set when the Access Point was initially
powered on, set the country now to ensure the Access Point’s legal operation. The
Access Point’s wireless capabilities are disabled until the required country code is
set.
• Virtual Controller -Select this option to define this Access Point as a Virtual
Controller capable of managing and provisioning up to 24 Access Points of the
same type. If selecting this Access Point as a Virtual Controller, those Access
Points managed by this Virtual Controller will list this Access Point’s AP Name as
its own. Only one Virtual Controller can be designated.
• Timezone - Use the drop-down menu to specify the geographic timezone where
the Access Point is deployed. Different geographic time zones have daylight
savings clock adjustments, so specifying the timezone correctly is important to
account for geographic time changes.
• Date & Time - Set the date, hour and minute for the Access Point’s current system
time. Specify whether the current time is in the AM or PM.
• NTP Server - Optionally provide the IP address of a NTP server resource. Network
Time Protocol (NTP) manages time and/or network clock synchronization within
the Access Point managed network. NTP is a client/server implementation. Access
