The switch creates a default name for a newly found switch consisting of "AP" and a unique number. During
this detection process, the switch collects the following information from the Access Port:
MAC address Each Access Port has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address by which it is identified. This
address is burned into the ROM of the Access Port. Also, this address appears on a sticker
attached to the bottom of the Access Port.
Serial Each Access Port has a unique serial number printed on the device at the time of manufacturing.
Number This address is burned into the ROM of the Access Port.
AP Type This field lists the model number of the Access Port (i.e. AP100, AP300)
Radio type This field indicates the wireless protocol that the Access Port follows. The WS 2000 Wireless
Switch supports 802.11b and 802.11 a/b dual-radio Access Ports.
Adopted by This field contains a list of defined WLANs that have adopted this Access Port (see
Wireless LANs and Access Port Radio Adoption List
The switch also sets several default values for the channel and the power level based upon the Location
information set in the System Settings screen and upon settings in the
for the radio type.
The WS 2000 Wireless Switch GUI also allows the administrator to refine the basic Access Port
configuration that is set at the point of detection. To examine or change that information:
1. Select [Network Configuration]
+ to the left of the menu item. The detected Access Ports will be listed under the menu item, with the
radio type listed in brackets (for example, [B]).
2. Select the Access Port item to examine or modify. There are two ways to distinguish between Access
Ports when they are labeled with the default "AP#" name.
• Look on the bottom of the Access Ports and take note of the MAC address (which looks like
AA:BB:CC:DD EE:FF) and compare it with the MAC address in the Access Port windows.
• Note the order in which Access Ports were plugged into the switch. The Access Port numbers are
assigned in order, starting with AP1. When an Access Port has multiple radios, each radio is
assigned an AP number.
