System Name
Specify a device name for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point. Brocade recommends selecting a name serving as a
reminder of the user base the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR
Access Point supports (engineering, retail, etc.). This name will
appear in the WIPS server when one of the radios is configured as
a sensor and the WIPS functionality connects to the WIPS server.
The WIPS module only accepts names with up to 20 characters,
keep that if intending to use this AP as a sensor.
System Location
Enter the location of the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access
Point. The System Location parameter acts as a reminder of
where the AP can be found. Use the System Name field as a
specific identifier of device location. Use the System Name and
System Location fields together to optionally define the AP name
by the radio coverage it supports and specific physical location.
For example, “second floor engineering”
Admin Email Address
Specify the AP administrator's email address.
Country
The Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point prompts the user
for the correct country code after the first login. A warning
message also displays stating that an incorrect country setting will
lead to an illegal use of the access point. Use the pull-down menu
to select the country of operation. Selecting the correct country is
extremely important. Each country has its own regulatory
restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions (channel
range) and the maximum RF signal strength transmitted. To
ensure compliance with national and local laws, be sure to set the
Country field correctly.
If using the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point
configuration file, CLI or MIB to configure the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point’s country code, see

located within the LAN and WAN Stats screens. For information on
locating the access point MAC addresses, see
AP Mode
Displays the access point’s mode of operation to convey whether
the access point is functioning as a standalone access point
(Independent mode) or in Adaptive (thin AP) mode. If in Adaptive
mode, the access point attempts to discover a switch through one
or more of several mechanisms: DNS, DHCP, ICMP, CAPWAP or a
statically programmed IP address. For information on adaptive AP,
