Configuring Provisioning Profiles
SonicPoint Profile definitions include all of the settings that can
be configured on a SonicPoint, such as radio settings for the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, SSIDs, and channels of operation.
Once you have defined a SonicPoint profile, you can apply it to
a Wireless zone. Each Wireless zone can be configured with
one SonicPoint profile. When a SonicPoint is connected to a
zone, it is automatically provisioned with the profile assigned to
that zone. SonicOS includes a default SonicPoint profile,
named SonicPoint.
To add a new profile, click Add below the list of SonicPoint
provisioning profiles. To edit an existing profile, select the profile
and click the Configure icon in the same line as the profile you
are editing.
