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.
• WLAN 1 Name - Provide a unique name for this WLAN as its network identifier. This is
a required setting. The name is used for the SSID and is assigned to both of the
Access Point's radios.
• Authentication - Select PSK to apply a 64 character maximum passphrase. Provide
the passphrase in either ASCII or Hex format.The authenticating device must use the
same PSK algorithm during authentication. Selecting Show displays the key in
exposed plain text (not recommended).
Selecting Open is not a recommended authentication scheme, as it would provide the
Access Point's WLAN no security via credential exchange and would only make sense in a
network where no sensitive data is either transmitted or received.
