(Optional) If you use a WLSM switch module as the WDS device on your network, select Specified
Discovery and enter the IP address of the WLSM in the entry field. When you enable Specified
Discovery, the access point immediately authenticates with the WDS device instead of waiting for WDS
advertisements. If the WDS device that you specify does not respond, the access point waits for WDS
advertisements.
In the Username field, enter a username for the access point. This username must match the username
Step 5

In the Password field, enter a password for the access point, and enter the password again in the Confirm
