An adaptive AP (AAP) is an access point that can adopt like an AP300 (L3) access port. The

management of an AAP is conducted by the switch, once the access point connects to a Motorola

WS5100, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch and receives its AAP configuration.

An AAP provides:

• local 802.11 traffic termination

• local encryption/decryption

• local traffic bridging

• the tunneling of centralized traffic to the wireless switch

An AAP's switch connection can be secured using IP/UDP or IPSec depending on whether a secure

WAN link from a remote site to the central site already exists.

The switch can be discovered using one of the following mechanisms:

• Switch fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

• Static IP addresses
