Automatic Upgrade

automatically upgrade your firmware when an update is
available.

LED

When enabled, the LED on the Access Point will light

up. When disabled, the LED will turn off.

Uplink Connectivity Monitor

It monitors the uplinks of

the managed Access Points, either wired or wireless, by
checking to see if the gateway/custom IP can be reached.
The monitor and wireless uplink capability are enabled by
default.

Use default gateway

Enabled by default. All managed

Access Points will use the gateway of the Access Point
that is providing IP information, either by DHCP or Static
designation.

Use custom IP

Select Use custom IP to specify an

IP address; all managed Access Points will use the IP
address you enter in the Uplink IP address field.

SNMP

Select this option to activate the SNMP

(Simple Network Monitor Protocol) agent. SNMP
is an application layer protocol that facilitates the
exchange of management information between
network devices. Network administrators use SNMP
to monitor network-attached devices for issues that
warrant attention.

Community String

Specify the SNMP community

string. It is required to authenticate access to MIB
(Management Information Base) objects and functions
as an embedded password. The device supports a
read-only community string; authorized management
stations have read access to all the objects in the MIB
except the community strings, but do not have write
access. The device supports SNMP v1. The default
is public.

Remote Logging

Enable to define a remote syslog server.

Enter the IP address and port of the syslog server.

Device Password

The Device Password protects SSH

access to the UniFi APs. It is randomly generated when you
create a site. All devices in the same site share the same
SSH username and password. You can also make changes:

Username

Enter the new username.

Password

Enter the new password.

Apply

Click Apply to save changes.
