Marking a Client as a Legacy Device

Designating a wireless client as a legacy device provides a way to change a password, but allows original connected wireless devices to continue using the previous password. On a large-scale deployment, marking a wireless client as a legacy device is effective because the customer is not required to change the passwords on all the connected wireless devices.
Complete the following steps to mark a wireless client as a legacy device.
  1. From the main menu, select Clients, then select Wireless Clients or Wired Clients.
  2. Select the client from the list and click Mark Legacy.

    Marking a Client as a Legacy Device

    The devices marked as legacy devices are allowed to connect to the WLAN with the previous password. For more information, refer to "Creating a New WLAN".

  3. (Optional) Select a client and click Unmark Legacy to unmark the client from the legacy list.
