Configuring a Controller to use the Spectrum Profile

You can use AMP to customize individual fields in the profile instance used by a particular controller without
having to create new Dell PowerConnect W AP groups and new radio profiles. To do this, you can set a
controller-level override for its referenced Spectrum profile. This will affect all Spectrum-supported APs managed
by this controller.
Perform these steps to override individual profile settings for a Dell PowerConnect W-Series controller that is
part of a spectrum-mode Dell PowerConnect W AP group:
1. Select a Spectrum-supported Dell PowerConnect W-Series controller that is referencing a Spectrum profile,
and go to its APs/Devices > Manage page. Set it to Manage Read/Write mode.
2. Under the Dell PowerConnect W Overrides section, select Add New Dell PowerConnect W Controller
Override.
3. In the Profile drop-down menu, select the Spectrum Profile type.
4. In the Profile Instance drop-down menu, select the instance of the Spectrum profile used by the controller.
5. In the Field drop-down menu, select the setting you would like to change (such as an Age-Out setting or a
Spectrum Band), and enter the overriding value below it.
6. Select Add to save your changes.
7. To create additional overrides for this controller, select Add New Dell PowerConnect W Controller Override
again.
8. When you have finished, select Save and Apply.
You can also use the above procedure to turn on Spectrum mode for radio profiles on one particular controller, or
use the overrides to point your radio profile to a non-default Spectrum profile for just this controller.
