• Distributed (Auto)—APs can be indirectly attached through intermediate Layer 2 or Layer 3
devices. They receive their configuration automatically using a profile that assigns a
Distributed AP number and name to the AP from among the unused valid AP numbers
available on the switch. The profile also configures the AP with the AP and radio parameter
settings in the profile. See
information on creating a profile.
Note. If the APs are directly connected to the WSS, ensure that UTP Cat-5
cabling distances between the AP and the WSS in the wiring closet do not exceed
100 meters (330 feet).
Note. An indirectly attached AP requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a
source other than a WSS, such as a power injector.
