Wi-Fi Uplink

The Wi-Fi uplink is supported on all the IAP models, except for the 802.11ac IAP models (IAP-2xx Series access
points). However only the master IAP uses this uplink. The Wi-Fi allows uplink to open, PSK-CCMP, and PSK-
TKIP SSIDs.
For single-radio IAPs, the radio serves wireless clients and the Wi-Fi uplink.
l
For dual-radio IAPs, both radios can be used to serve clients but only one of them can be used for the Wi-Fi
l
uplink.
When the Wi-Fi uplink is in use, the client IP is assigned by the internal DHCP server.

The following configuration conditions apply to the Wi-Fi uplink:
To bind or unbind the Wi-Fi uplink on the 5 GHz band, reboot the IAP.

l
or later.
