Configuring the 400 Series Access Point Settings

When a 400 series access point is initially connected to an interface, the firewall uses a default provisioning
profile to create a 400 series access point entry. It can take up to five minutes for the entry to be created.
You can modify the 400 series access point entry to configure the access point name, radio frequency mode,
authentication type, and other settings specific to your 400 series access point.
TIP:
For deployments of multiple SonicWaves that need the same provisioning settings, you can
create a custom provisioning profile in the upper section of Connectivity | Access Points > Base
Settings page in the MANAGE view. In System Setup | Network > Zones page, you can edit the WLAN
zone and specify this profile on the Wireless page. Any SonicWaves connecting to an interface in the
WLAN zone can then be provisioned with the assigned profile.
You might want to use the new Floor Plan View and Topology View features as well. See the
Connectivity Administration documentation
To modify the 400 series access point entry in SonicOS:
1 In the MANAGE view, navigate to Connectivity | Access Points > Base Settings.
2 In the SonicWave Objects table, click the Configure icon in the row for the SonicWave 432o entry you
wish to modify.
General page settings:
1 On the General page, select Enable SonicWave.
2 In the Name field, optionally type in a new name for this SonicWave 432o. The existing name is assigned
by the provisioning profile based on the name prefix in the profile with a unique number appended.
This is the access point name that appears in clients' lists of available wireless connections.
3 Verify the Country Code for the area of operation.
4 Configure the remaining options as necessary. For more information, see the
Administration documentation
