navigate the Setup Wizard using the Save & Next buttons.

•

Navigation Panel: The Setup Wizard provides a navigation panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Click the 
link that corresponds to the parameters you want to configure to be taken to that particular configuration screen. 
Note that clicking a link in the navigation panel will not submit any changes you made to the unit’s configuration on 
the current page.

•

4. Assign the AP new passwords to prevent unauthorized access and click Save & Next. Each management interface 

has its own password:
•

SNMP Read Password

•

SNMP Read-Write Password

•

CLI Password

•

HTTP (Web) Password

By default, each of these passwords is set to “public”. See 

 for more information.

5. Configure the basic Wireless Interface Configuration settings: 

•

Select the Operational Mode as follows and click Save & Next: 
The Wireless-A interface operates only in 802.11a mode on the AP-4000/4000M and in either 802.11a mode or 
4.9 GHz Public Safety mode on the AP-4900M. The Wireless-B interface can be configured to operate in the 
following modes: 
— 802.11b mode only: The radio uses the 802.11b standard only.
— 802.11g mode only: The radio is optimized to communicate with 802.11g devices. This setting will provide the 

best results if this radio interface will only communicate with 802.11g devices. 

— 802.11b/g mode: This is the default mode. Use this mode if you want to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g 

devices.

— 802.11g-wifi: 802.11g-wifi has been defined for Wi-Fi testing purposes. It is not recommended for use in your 

wireless network environment.

In general, you should use either 802.11g only mode (if you want to support 802.11g devices only) or 802.11b/g 
mode to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices.

•

Configure the following available options and click Save & Next:
— Primary Network Name (SSID): Enter a Network Name (between 1 and 32 characters long) for the wireless 

network. You must configure each wireless client to use this name as well. Note that the 
AP-4000/4000M/4900M supports up to 16 SSIDs and VLANs per wireless interface (radio). Please see the 

 chapter for information on the detailed rules on configuring multiple SSIDs, VLANs, 

and security profiles.
