Device Conﬁguration

Click on this button to access the configuration

properties of the selected device(s).

The device conﬁguration window allows you to conﬁgure settings but does not actually apply the settings to the device unless you click the

Apply

button. You can also save and load conﬁguration ﬁles from this window. When you load a conﬁguration ﬁle, you must click

Apply

if

you want the settings to be applied to the selected device(s).

You can conﬁgure a single device by highlighting one device in the list, or you can conﬁgure multiple devices by highlighting multiple devices

before clicking on the Device Conﬁguration icon pictured above. The examples in this section show single device conﬁguration. When you

select multiple devices for conﬁguration the procedure will be similar.

The Check All button will select all conﬁgurable options. Any setting that has a checkmark next to it is applied to the

device or saved to the conﬁguration ﬁle.

The Clear Checks button deselects all conﬁgurable options. This feature is useful if you only want to change a few

settings. Deselect all items and only check the items that you want to modify.

Refresh will revert to the actual device settings of the selected device(s).

To save settings to the device, you must click the Apply button. Only settings that have a checkmark next to them will

be applied.

The open button is used to load a previously saved conﬁguration ﬁle. After opening a conﬁguration ﬁle, you must click

the Apply button to save the settings to the selected device(s).

The save button allows you to save a conﬁguration ﬁle of the selected device settings. Only settings that have a checkmark

next to them are saved. You cannot save a conﬁguration ﬁle if you selected more than one device in the device list.

The Exit button will close the device conﬁguration window. Any settings that haven’t been applied will be lost.

General

When selecting multiple devices for conﬁguration,

some options are unavailable for conﬁguration by

default as noted(*) below:

This allows you to change the device name for

the selected access point. You must place a

checkmark in the Device Name box to change the

name. This option should only be conﬁgured when

one access point is selected for conﬁguration.

If you’ve selected one device for conﬁguration

and you want to change the IP address of the

device, check the IP Address box. You can then

enter an IP address and Subnet Mask for the

selected access point. This option should only be

conﬁgurable when one access point is selected

for conﬁguration. To conﬁgure multiple devices

with an IP address at one time, please reference

the previous page.

Enter the IP address of your gateway, typically

your router address.

There is a drop-down menu to select enabled or

disabled. When enabled, the selected device(s)

will function as a DHCP client(s). This allows them

to receive IP conﬁguration information from a

DHCP server. When disabled, the access point(s)

must have a static IP address assigned to them.
