Configuring APs

Use the local authentication list

When this option is selected, the controller creates authentication list entries based on

the set of APs that are currently defined on the controller. For reference purposes, the

table shows the AP name, Serial number and MAC address of all APs that are defined

and will be included in the authentication list.

When the local authentication list is enabled, the first time an AP tries to connect to the

controller, a manager must manually accept the AP on the Controlled APs >> Overview >

Discovered APs page by selecting the Authorize in the Action column for the AP.

Otherwise, the AP will not be able to connect to the controller.

This section explains how to configure APs using the Controlled APs menu in the Network

To make the configuration of multiple APs easier to manage, parameters settings are

managed using a hierarchal structure, where the configuration settings at lower levels are

inherited from those at higher levels. There are three levels to the hierarchy: base group,

group, and AP. For example:

The levels are defined as follows:

Base group: The base group is called Controlled APs. This name cannot be changed

and you cannot create an additional base group. Settings made to the base group are

inherited by groups and APs.

Select the + symbol next to Controlled APs to expand the tree to see all groups.

Select the + symbol next to each group to see its APs.
