Configuring The Sonicpoint Aci Settings - SonicWALL sonicpoint ACI Getting Started Manual

Configuring the SonicPoint ACi
settings
When a SonicPoint ACi is initially connected to an interface,
the firewall uses a default provisioning profile to create a
SonicPoint ACi entry. It can take up to 5 minutes for the entry
to be created.
You can modify the SonicPoint ACi entry to configure the
access point name, radio frequency mode, authentication
type, and other settings specific to your SonicPoint ACi.
TIP: For deployments of multiple SonicPoints that need
the same provisioning settings, you can create a custom
provisioning profile in the upper section of the
SonicPoint > SonicPoints page. In the Network > Zones
page, you can edit the WLAN zone and specify this
profile on the Wireless tab. Any SonicPoints connecting
to an interface in the WLAN zone will then be
provisioned with the assigned profile. See the SonicOS
Administration Guide for more information.
To modify the SonicPoint ACi entry in SonicOS
1 Navigate to the SonicPoint > SonicPoints page.
2 In the SonicPointNs table, click the configure button in
the row for the SonicPoint ACi entry you wish to modify.

lists of available wireless connections.
