APManager™ does not manage the Unused Access Points within
the context of the current document. In other words, these Access
Points are ignored. You can view some information about them
(e.g. radio channel), but not modify any of their properties.
APManager™ does not change the settings of these Access Points
when File/Commit to Network is selected. This is useful when
different people manage different sets of Access Points.
Access Points that are moved to this folder will be made
inaccessible for any client station as soon as they are updated.
Select the Edit/Insert Access Point menu item to insert a new
Access Point into the selected WLAN. APManager™ will ask
for the hardware address of the Access Point.

pressing Delete or selecting the Edit/Clear menu item. Access
Points in this special WLAN will not be accessible for any client
station. See Managing WLANs.
