Access Point Name
This is the NetBIOS name of Mesh Unit; you may modify the default name with a unique name up to 15 characters
long including numbers from 0 to 9, letters (A-Z; a-z) and dash (-). The name supports WINS so you can ping Mesh
Unit using “ping Mesh Unit Name” or use web browser to open web utility by inputting Mesh Unit Name in the IE
address.
The default Mesh Unit Name is: APxxxxxx (xxxxxx represents the last 6 digits of MAC address)
The first character of Mesh Unit Name cannot be digits 0 to 9.
Your host must have a TCP/IP address with the same subnet as the Mesh Unit to use WINS.
Country/Region
Select your country or region from the drop-down list. This field displays countries/regions of operation. It is impor-
tant that you select the proper country of operation. For example: If you chose Russia, but in fact you are in USA,
so the operating frequency band and output power might not be consistent with related regulations of the USA.
Ethernet Data Rate
The specifies the Ethernet port's data rate. Automatic is recommended.
IP Address
Static IP: You should manually configure IP address, subnet mask, and the gateway. The Mesh Unit will automati-
cally calculate the subnet mask based on the assigned IP address. Otherwise, you can use 255.255.255.0 as the
subnet mask.
DHCP: The Mesh Unit can get IP settings from DHCP Server but Static IP is recommended.
