4. Configuration Parameters
The first time a Harmony OpenAir Access Point is connected to the network, the
Harmony System will automatically configure the Access Point using the OpenAir AP
Default settings.
In addition, a Harmony OpenAir Access Point may be manually configured via the
Harmony System's Web browser interface. Refer to the Harmony Access Point
Controller Model 7560 User's Guide for information on how to access the Web
browser interface.
This chapter describes the parameters for a Harmony OpenAir Access Point that may
be configured via the Web browser interface.
AP Name
You may assign a name to this specific Harmony OpenAir Access Point. The AP
Name cannot exceed 21 characters. The Harmony System assigns an AP Name to each
Access Point that it automatically detects and configures. By default, the AP Name is
the device's physical address.
Physical Address
A Harmony OpenAir Access Point's physical address is assigned at the factory and
cannot be changed by the end user. The physical address or MAC address is a 48-bit
unique identifier assigned to each networking device. The physical address is com-
monly written as six pairs of two hexadecimal digits separated by colons (for example,
00:20:a6:34:00:77).
Enable AP
When enabled, the Access Point operates normally and provides mobile clients with
access to the Ethernet network. When disabled, the Access Point cannot partner with
an AP Controller or communicate with mobile clients.
