Configuring the SonicPoint N2 settings
When a SonicPoint N2 is initially connected to an interface, the
firewall uses a default provisioning profile to create a
SonicPoint N2 entry. It can take up to 5 minutes for the entry to
be created.
You can modify the SonicPoint N2 entry to configure the access
point name, radio frequency mode, authentication type, and
other settings specific to your SonicPoint N2.
TIP: For deployments of multiple SonicPoints that need
the same provisioning settings, you can create a custom
provisioning profile in the upper section of the
SonicPoint > SonicPoints page. In the Network > Zones
page, you can edit the WLAN zone and specify this
profile on the Wireless tab. Any SonicPoints connecting
to an interface in the WLAN zone will then be
provisioned with the assigned profile. See the SonicOS
Administration Guide for more information.
To modify the SonicPoint N2 entry in SonicOS
1 Navigate to the SonicPoint > SonicPoints page.
2 In the SonicPointNs table, click the configure button in
the row for the SonicPoint N2 entry you wish to modify.

This is the access point name that appears in clients'
lists of available wireless connections.
