■You can use function keys to enable commands in some windows. For example, statistic windows include Refresh [F1] and Timed [F2] command/key combinations to update the display.

■Some options listed at the bottom of screens indicate possible commands for a selected item. For example, in the Known APs window, highlighting an AP on the list and pressing F1 brings up the Ping function to ping that AP.

■To exit from submenus, press Esc.

Administration screens include options for saving or clearing data that appear on the bottom line of the screen. Confirmation prompts are listed below.

Prompt	Description
OK	Registers settings but does not save them in
	nonvolatile memory (NVM). A reset command returns
	to previously saved settings.
Save	Saves all settings (including ones not on that screen) to
	NVM. This is the same as Save Configuration in the
	Special Functions screen.
Save ALL APs	To save the AP installation configuration information to
	all APs with the same WLAN Service Area. This option
	saves the configuration changes for the current AP on
	the Known APs table to update their configurations and
	reset after the configuration has been modified. Users
	can perform this option only among the same hardware
	platforms and same firmware versions. Example:
	AP-3020 running FW 4.01-xx.
Cancel	Does not register settings changed in a screen.

Entering Admin Mode The UI defaults to User mode, allowing read-only access to the AP’s functions (view statistics, for example). Switching to Admin mode provides access to configuration menus and allows you to configure the AP.

To enter Admin mode requires the administration password. To enter Admin mode, do the following:

1Select Enter Admin Mode from the Main Menu. The AP prompts for the administration password:

Enter System Password:

2If a password has been set, enter it now (case sensitive). The default password is comcomcom.

■If the password is correct, the AP displays the Main Menu with the Enter Admin Mode menu item changed to Exit Admin Mode.

■If the password is incorrect, the AP continues to display the Main Menu with the Enter Admin Mode menu item.

Set the System password in the Set System Configuration screen. See “Changing the Access to the UI” for more details.
