You can configure and view the following parameters within the System Configuration screen:

•Name: The name assigned to the AP. See the Dynamic DNS Support and Access Point System Naming Convention sections for rules on naming the AP.

•Location: The location where the AP is installed.

•Contact Name: The name of the person responsible for the AP.

•Contact Email: The email address of the person responsible for the AP.

•Contact Phone: The telephone number of the person responsible for the AP.

•Object ID: This is a read-only field that displays the Access Point’s system object identification number; this information is useful if you are managing the AP using SNMP.

•Ethernet MAC Address: This is a read-only field that displays the unique MAC (Media Access Control) address for the Access Point’s Ethernet interface. The MAC address is assigned at the factory.

•Descriptor: This is a read-only field that reports the Access Point’s name, serial number, current image software version, and current bootloader software version.

•Up Time: This is a read-only field that displays how long the Access Point has been running since its last reboot.

Dynamic DNS Support

DNS is a distributed database mapping the user readable names and IP addresses (and more) of every registered system on the Internet. Dynamic DNS is a lightweight mechanism which allows for modification of the DNS data of host systems whose IP addresses change dynamically. Dynamic DNS is usually used in conjunction with DHCP for assigning meaningful names to host systems whose IP addresses change dynamically.

Access Points provide DDNS support by adding the host name (option 12) in DHCP Client messages, which is used by the DHCP server to dynamically update the DNS server.
