WM100 - Up to 32 WM-ADs
NOTE
You can assign the radios of all three Altitude AP variants - Altitude AP, Outdoor AP, and Altitude 802.11n AP - to
any WM-AD.
To assign Altitude APs to a WM-AD:
1 From the main menu, click WM Access Domain Configuration. The WM Access Domain
Configuration page is displayed.
2 In the left pane WM Access Domains list, click the WM-AD you want to assign Altitude APs to. The
Topology tab is displayed.
3 Click the RF tab.
4 In the SSID box, type the SSID that wireless devices will use to access the Altitude AP.
5 In the Advanced RF Settings, select the following:
Suppress SSID - Select to prevent this SSID from appearing in the beacon message sent by the
Altitude AP. The wireless device user seeking network access will not see this SSID as an
available choice, and will need to specify it.
Enable proprietary IE - Select to enable radio channel reports to be sent to the Altitude AP for
improving roaming time and reliability, as well as improving client power consumption. The AP
channel report lists all channels on which the WM-AD can be found - all channels used by all
APs that have been assigned to the WM-AD. The AP will provide this list in a proprietary
information element to be included in Beacon and Probe response packets. By default this option
is disabled. It is recommended to enable this option.
Enable 11h support - Select to enable TPC (Transmission Power Control) reports. By default this
option is disabled. It is recommended to enable this option.
Apply power back-off - Select to enable the AP to use reduced power (as does the 11h client).
By default this option is disabled. It is recommended to enable this option.
Process client IE requests - Select to enable the AP to accept IE requests sent by clients via Probe
Request frames and responds by including the requested IE's in the corresponding Probe
Response frames. By default this option is disabled. It is recommended to enable this option.
6 From the Altitude APs list, click the APs and their radios that you want to assign to the WM-AD.
