You must assign the Access Point a Network Name before wireless users can
communicate with it. The clients also need the same Network Name. This is not the
same as the System Name, which applies only to the Access Point. The network
administrator typically provides the Network Name.
If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, then you need to assign the
Access Point an IP address that is valid on your network.
Each Access Point requires a read/write password to access the web interface. The
default password is public.
