Chapter 2: Setting up the AT-WA7400 Management Software

Telesyn recommends that you change the administrator password

from the default which is “friend.” Enter the current administrator

password.

New Password

Enter a new administrator password. The characters you enter are

displayed as “

*” characters to prevent others from seeing your

password as you type.

The Administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8

characters. Do not use special characters or spaces.

Confirm New Password

Retype the new administrator password to confirm that you typed it as

you intended.

Network Name (SSID)

Enter a name for the wireless network as a character string. This name

will apply to all access points on this network. As you add more access

points, they will share this SSID.

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32

characters.

If you are connected as a wireless client to the same access point that

you are administering, resetting the SSID causes you to lose

connectivity to the access point. You will need to reconnect to using

the new SSID after you save the new Network Name.

Note

The AT-WA7400 Management Software is not designed for multiple,

simultaneous configuration changes. If you have a network that

includes multiple access points, and more than one administrator is

logged on to the AT-WA7400 Management Software’s web pages

and making changes to the configuration, all access points in the

cluster will stay in synch but there is no guarantee that all

configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.

3. In the Set Configuration Policy for New Access Points section,

configure the following parameter as necessary:

New Access Points

Choose the policy you want to put in effect for adding new access

points to the network.

If you choose “are configured automatically,” then when a new access

point is added to the network it automatically joins the existing cluster.

The cluster configuration is copied to the new access point, and no

manual configuration is required to deploy it.
