Administrator

Use this page to configure the administrator information and to provide a new administration password for the Access Point if you do not want to use the default password, which is cisco.

 

Field	Description
Administrator Name	Enter the name of the administrator. You can use up to 64 alphanumeric and symbols characters. [ASCII values 32 to 126 excluding double quote(")].
Administrator Contact	Enter the e-mail address, or phone number of the person to contact regarding issues related to the AP. You can use up to 255 alphanumeric and symbols characters. (ASCII values 32 to 126 excluding double quote.)
Access Point Location	Enter the physical location of the AP, for example Conference Room A. You can use up to 255 alphanumeric and symbols characters. (ASCII values 32 to 126 excluding double quote.)
Current Password	Enter the current administrator password. You must correctly enter the current password before you are able to change it.
New Password	Enter a new administrator password. The characters you enter are displayed as bullet characters to prevent others from seeing your password as you type. The administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters. Do not use special characters or spaces. Note: As an immediate first step in securing your wireless network, we recommend that you change the administrator password from the default.
Confirm New Password	Re-enter the new administrator password to confirm that you typed it as intended.

Note: After you configure the settings on the Administrator page, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change AP settings when WLAN traffic is low.
