Valid Access Point Configuration

From the Valid AP Configuration page, you can manually set the channel and RF signal transmit power level
for an individual AP. You can also configure the AP mode and local authentication password, and you can
specify which profile the AP uses.
If you use the local database for AP validation, the switch maintains the database of access points that you
validate. When you add the MAC address of an AP to the database, you can specify whether the AP is a
managed AP, standalone AP, or a rogue. If the AP is to be managed by the switch, you can assign an AP profile
to the device. When the switch collects and reports information from the RF scan, it can assign the appropriate
status to an AP if it is in the database.
Note: Any configuration changes for a managed AP will not be applied until the AP is reset and re-
authenticated. If you select a different profile from the menu, a pop-up message asks you to confirm
the change. If the AP is managed, a second message asks if you would like to reset the AP. If you click
OK, the AP is reset.
