6.1Using the SYSTEM TOOLS Menu

6.1.1System Identity

If your network operates with several of the access points, you would find it useful to have a means of identifying each individual device.

In certain cases, your Internet Service Provider might request for a System Name before allowing you to access the Internet. This System Name also serves as a DHCP Client ID during negotiations with the DHCP Server for dynamic IP address allocation.

You can define the System Identity of the access point to be also utilized as System Name or as DHCP Client ID.

System Identity

Click on System Identity from the SYSTEM TOOLS menu.

Enter the DHCP Client ID assigned by your ISP in the System Name field.

Fill in the name of a person to contact in the System Contact field.

Fill up the System Location field. If there are multiple devices in your network or building, this entry might help to identify the device.

Click on the Apply button to effect the changes.
