Single Controller Configuration With Advanced Profile Groups - NETGEAR ProSafe WC7520 Reference Manual

Single Controller Configuration with Advanced Profile Groups

A more complex configuration consists of a single wireless controller that controls a collection
of access points that are organized in access point profile groups and might use several
profiles in each access point profile group.

To set up a single wireless controller system with advanced profile groups:
Step Configuration
1. Optional: Create an RF plan.
2. If you have not yet done so, configure the system settings of the
wireless controller:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
2. Configure the IP address of wireless controller.
3. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged, which is the default setting.
3. Configure up to 8 access point profile groups, and for each
access point profile in a group, do at least the following:
1. Configure an SSID for wireless access.
2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3. Assign the VLAN.
4. If required, configure the authentication server.
5. Run the Discovery Wizard and add the access points to the
managed access point list.
6. Assign the access points to the access point profile groups (also
referred to as WLAN groups).
