  1. You are now ready to configure each AP-3 category, depending on your system. In some cases, you will not need to make any changes. If you are in doubt about any setting, we recommend that you use the default values. The following section covers configuration options for each tab in order, beginning with the System tab.
When setting most configuration values, confirmation screens tell you if the information has been successfully modified.

AP-3 Configuration Tabs (categories)

The configuration options of your AP-3 can be divided into two major categories:

  • that cover the options that will apply to most users.
  • Advanced Configuration Tabs that you may wish to explore to customize your AP-3 device once it is up and running.

This chapter will describe the Basic tabs. For information about the Advanced tabs, please consult Advanced Features.

Setting configuration properties

To set properties for each category, click on the desired tab. Result: The selected configuration screen appears. Each configuration screen allows you to select options, or enter, edit, and delete information.

In some cases, the AP-3 reminds you that it must be rebooted for a change to take effect. In a given session, you can wait to reboot until all changes have been made.

After entering or editing information on configuration screens, click OK to save changes, or click Cancel to restore previous settings.

To see the latest information, "Refresh" your browser after making changes. For example, after modifying IP Pool Tables from the DHCP Server settings, the browser must be refreshed to show the results. Remember that some changes won't actually take effect until the unit reboots.

For default values or range of valid values, please consult the parameter tables listed in the "Command Line Interface Reference Manual".
