Select a configuration option, then use the instructions in this chapter or one of the following chapters to
modify the configuration information:
• "Configuring Wireless Parameters" (page 221)
• "Configuring Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Parameters" (page 277)

Configuring Basic and Advanced Settings

Clicking on an option in the Task List panel opens a configuration wizard. Configuration wizards enable you to
configure basic settings for an object. For most types of WSS objects, after you configure the settings and close the
wizard, the new object is added to a table in the Content panel.
Some objects have advanced, infrequently modified settings that are not configurable using the wizard. To configure
advanced settings for an object listed in a table in the Content panel, select the object, then click Properties. The Prop-
erties button opens a configuration dialog containing all configurable settings for the object, including the advanced
settings.
For simple changes, you can select multiple objects and click Properties to make the change for all the selected objects.
For example, to disable or reenable multiple ports, you can select all the ports, click Properties, change the port state in
the dialog, then close the dialog. The changes take effect on all the ports you selected.

Reviewing and Deploying Changes

WLAN Management Software does not automatically deploy switch configuration changes from the network plan to the
actual switches in the network. The following options in the Task List panel allow you to review and deploy changes:
• Review—Displays a categorized list of the undeployed changes.
• Deploy—Sends the changes to the network.

Reviewing Changes

Click Review to review undeployed configuration changes. Changes are listed by feature category. To hide or redisplay
a category, click on the double arrow next to the category name.
A plus sign next to a configuration item indicates there are multiple changes for that item. Click the plus sign to display
the individual changes.
To print the list of changes, click Print.

Deploying Changes

To deploy all the changes, click Deploy. WLAN Management Software compares the changes to the verification rules,
and lists any warnings or error messages. If there are any errors, WLAN Management Software will not deploy the
changes. To deploy the changes, you must first resolve the errors. To resolve configuration errors, use the Verification
option. (See "Verifying Configuration Changes" (page 335).)
