System Identity
If your network operates with several of the access points, you would find it
useful to have a means of identifying each individual device.
In certain cases, your Internet Service Provider might request for a System
Name before allowing you to access the Internet. This System Name also
serves as a DHCP Client ID during negotiations with the DHCP Server for
dynamic IP address allocation.
You can define the System Identity of the access point to be also utilized as
System Name or as DHCP Client ID.
