3.1 Overview

This section provides information to help you configure the NWA3000-N series AP
effectively. Some of it is helpful when you are just getting started. Some of it is
provided for your reference when you configure various features in the NWA3000-
N series AP.

3.2 Object-based Configuration

The NWA3000-N series AP stores information or settings as objects. You use these
objects to configure many of the NWA3000-N series AP's features and settings.
Once you configure an object, you can reuse it in configuring other features.
When you change an object's settings, the NWA3000-N series AP automatically
updates all the settings or rules that use the object. For example, if you create a
local certificate object, you can have HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and other settings use it. If
you modify the local certificate object, all the HTTPS, FTP, SSH, and other settings
that are linked to that object automatically apply the updated settings.
You can use the Configuration > Objects screens to create objects before you
configure features that use them. If you are in a screen that uses objects, you can
also usually select Create new Object to be able to configure a new object.
Use the Object Reference screen to see what objects are configured and which
configuration settings reference specific objects.
