Chapter 11: Single Point Setup; Single Point Setup Overview - Cisco WAP131 Administration Manual

Single Point Setup
NOTE

Single Point Setup Overview

Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
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 Single Point Setup feature is available only on the Cisco WAP351. The Cisco
WAP131 does not support the Single Point Setup feature.
Single Point Setup provides a centralized method to administer and control the
wireless services across multiple devices. You can use Single Point Setup to
create a single group or cluster of the WAP 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
the channel planning across your wireless services to reduce the radio
interference and maximize the 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.
