• Password: The password for the access point. If you use the Wireless Management System to
change a password for an access point, if it is offline or down, its password does not change.
When the access point is unauthenticated, new password is used to authenticate to the access
point and if successful, the new password is saved.
• Group Name: You can assign a group name from which the settings will applied to configure
the access point.

IP Settings

This page lets you configure the management IP address settings of managed access points.
• DHCP Client: Enables DHCP client on the access point. Do not enable this unless a DHCP
server is configured to provide access points the same IP address every time. The WMS5316
will not recognize the access point as same if its IP address changes.
• IP Address: This is the IP address of the managed access point. To change it, enter an unused
IP address from the address range used on your LAN. This is allowed only when access point
is online and healthy.
• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask value used on your LAN. The default value is
255.255.255.0.
• Default Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway for your LAN.
