options:
Allow all Wireless APs to connect – If the HiPath Wireless Controller does not
●
recognize the serial number, it sends a default configuration to the wireless AP. Or, if
the HiPath Wireless Controller recognizes the serial number, it sends the specific
configuration (port and binding key) set for that wireless AP.
Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect – If the HiPath Wireless Controller
●
does not recognize the serial number, the operator is prompted to create a
configuration. Or, if the HiPath Wireless Controller recognizes the serial number, it
sends the configuration for that wireless AP.
During the initial setup of the network, it is recommended to select the Allow all
>
Wireless APs to connect option. This option is the most efficient way to get a
large number of wireless APs registered with the HiPath Wireless Controller.
Once the initial setup is complete, it is recommended that the security mode is
reset to the Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect option. This option
ensures that no unapproved wireless APs are allowed to connect. For more
information, see Section 5.5, "Modifying wireless AP settings", on page 81.
