Single Point Setup

Single Point Setup Overview

Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE
This chapter describes how to configure Single Point Setup over multiple WAP
devices.
It includes these topics:
• Single Point Setup Overview
• Access Points
• Sessions
• Channel Management
• Wireless Neighborhood
The Cisco WAP121 and WAP321 devices support Single Point Setup. Single Point
Setup provides a centralized method to administer and control wireless services
across multiple devices. You use Single Point Setup to create a single group, or
cluster, of wireless devices. After the WAP devices are clustered, you can view,
deploy, configure, and secure the wireless network as a single entity. After a
wireless cluster is created, Single Point Setup also facilitates channel planning
across your wireless services to reduce radio interference and maximize
bandwidth on the wireless network.
When you first set up your WAP device, you can use the Setup Wizard to configure
Single Point Setup or join an existing Single Point Setup. If you prefer not to use the
Setup Wizard, you can use the web-based configuration utility.
