Symbol Technologies WS 2000 manual Changing the Administrator Password

Getting Started Overview

7.Enter a System Name for the wireless switch. The specified name appears in the lower-left corner of the configuration screens, beneath the navigation tree. This name can be a useful reminder if multiple Symbol wireless switches are installed.

8.Enter a text description of the location of the switch in the System Location field. This text is used as a reminder to the network administrator and is also used to set the location variable if the switch is administered using SNMP.

9.Enter an email address for the administrator in the Admin Email Address field. The switch will use this address for sending SNMP-related and other administration-related messages to the administrator.

10.Select the Country for the switch from the drop-down menu. Selecting the correct country is extremely important. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum RF signal strength that can be transmitted by Access Ports. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, be sure to set this field accurately.

11.Click Apply to save changes. Unapplied changes are lost if the administrator navigates to a different screen.
