If the modification of a Wireless AP property does trigger a reboot, the Wireless AP property is

2 Click the appropriate Wireless AP in the list.
3 Click the radio tab you want to modify.
Each tab displays the radio settings for each radio on the Wireless AP. If the radio has been assigned
to a WM-AD, the WM-AD names and MAC addresses appear in the Base Settings section. The
following lists how many WM-ADs each Summit WM Controller can support:
WM20 – Up to 8 WM-ADs
●
The AP radios can be assigned to each of the configured WM-ADs in a system. Each radio can be the
subject of 8 WM-AD assignments (corresponding to the number of SSIDs it can support). Once a
radio has all 8 slots assigned, it is no longer eligible for further assignment.
The BSS Info section is view only. After WM-AD configuration, the Basic Service Set (BSS) section
displays the MAC address on the Wireless AP for each WM-AD and the SSIDs of the WM-ADs to
which this radio has been assigned.
If applicable, click the 802.11b/g tab to modify the radio properties.
