played as "

type.

The Administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 charac-
ters. Do not use special characters or spaces.

As an immediate first step in securing your wireless network,

recommends that you change the administrator password from the

default.

Administrator Password (again)

Re-enter the new password to confirm that you typed it as you intended.

on this network. As you add more access points, they will share this

SSID

.

The Service Set Identifier (

SSID

) must be an alphanumeric string of up to 32

characters

Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the access point that you are
administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the
access point. You will need to reconnect using the new SSID.

The Professional Access Point is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If
more than one administrator is making changes to the configuration at the same time, all access points
in the cluster will stay synchronized, but there is no guarantee that all changes specified by all of the
administrators will be applied.
