WS 2000 Use Cases 9-37
Entering the Basic System Settings
The interface opens by displaying the System Setting screen. This screen is also accessible by clicking the toggle to the left
of System Configuration in the left menu, then selecting System Settings in the left menu.
The first time System Settings are displayed, a dialog box is displayed, warning the administrator to select a country of
operation.
Different countries have different regulations for the use of radio frequencies. Setting the location configures the switch to
use only the channels, frequencies, and power levels that are legal for that country. Leo sets the location to United States -
us.
The system name is used to distinguish between WS 2000 switches for remote configuration. Leo gives the switch a
descriptive name, Atlanta1. This name will appear in the footer for subsequent configuration windows for the switch. He
does not need the descriptive name, but he wants to put in something appropriate in case he needs it later. If the office
eventually has more than one wireless switch, the name will help him to know which switch he is working on.
He also enters his email address into the Admin Email Address box. Leo’s corporation uses an SNMP manager which has
the capability of monitoring network devices and sending email to the manager of a device that is in an unusual state. This
is the email address that will be supplied to that SNMP manager for this switch.
