WS 2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide2-4
Step 3: Set the Basic Switch Setting
1. Enter a System Name for the wireless switch. The specified name appears in the lower-left corner of the configuration
screens, beneath the navigation tree. This name can be a useful reminder if multiple Symbol wireless switches are
being administered.
2. Enter a text description of the location of the switch in the System Location field. This text is used as a reminder to
the network administrator and is also used to set the location variable if the switch is administered using SNMP.
3. Enter an email address for the administrator in the Admin Email Address field. The switch uses this address for
sending SNMP-related and other administration-related messages to the administrator.
4. Select the Country for the switch from the drop-down menu. Selecting the correct country is extremely important. Each
country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum RF signal strength
that can be transmitted by Access Ports. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, be sure to set this field
accurately.
5. Click Apply to save changes. Unapplied changes are lost if the administrator navigates to a different screen.
The WS 2000 switch is shipped with an open default SNMP configuration:
Community: public, OID: 1.3.6.1, Access: Read-only
Community: private, OID: 1.3.6.1, Access: Read-write
If your switch has these settings, it is important to change them immediately; otherwise, users
on the same network will have read-write access to the switch through the SNMP interface.
Select System Configuration --> SNMP Access from the left menu to examine the settings and
change them, if necessary.
