If any of those fields are incorrect, you can select the actual values manually from the Time zone drop-
down, and from the Date and Time selectors.
Device name, location and hostname
The information you enter in the three textual fields describing your AP3400 board will be visible to you
and to other connected network devices. Device discovery services, if enabled, broadcast those fields
to other devices (Settings -> Services -> Device discovery). This information will also be visible to you
in the device Dashboard, for easier identification.
– Device name - specify a name that describes this device. This name will be visible in your
browser's title when viewing WEB GUI. This name will also be broadcasted by Device discovery
service (LLDP, CDP or MNDP).
– Hostname - specify unique identificator of the device, other devices may be able to see this
information. This name will be visible when using SSH or serial connection to manage the
device. You will also see hostnames of devices in the "DHCP active leases" table in the Network
information page.
– Device location - specify the physical location of the device, this is useful when managing net-
works with multiple devices. This field will also be broadcasted by Device discovery service
(LLDP, CDP or MNDP).
Automatic update checker
With the automatic update functionality, your AP3400 board is able to periodically check for newer
firmware versions. Whenever new firmware is available on the server, your AP3400 WEB GUI will
display you a notification to update the firmware.
You will be able to choose to update immediately, postpone the notification or trigger the update man-
ually.
To enable the automatic update checker, you must have a link to the update server. Server should
contain the binary update files, and a textual firmwares.json file, which holds information about the
most recent firmware version. Automatic update checker periodically compares your board's current
firmware version with the one on the server, and informs you whenever a newer version is available.
– Check for firmware updates - enable if you want automatic update checks and notifications to be
performed.
