Availability and session availability
3 On both Summit WM Controllers, set the Registration Mode to Allow only approved so that no
more Altitude APs can register unless they are approved by the administrator.
4 On the AP Registration page, enable the two Summit WM Controllers as an availability pair.
5 On each Summit WM Controller, on the Access Approval page, check the status of the Altitude APs
and approve any APs that should be connected to that controller.
System AP defaults can be used to assign a group of WM-ADs to the foreign APs:
If the APs are not yet known to the system, the AP will be initially configured according to AP
default settings. To ensure better transition in availability, it is recommended that the AP default
settings match the desired WM-AD assignment for failover APs.
AP assignment to WM-ADs according to the AP default settings can be overwritten by manually
modifying the AP WM-AD assignment. (For example, select and assign each WM-AD that the AP
should connect to.)
If specific foreign APs have been assigned to a WM-AD, those specific foreign AP assignments
are used.
An alternate method to setting up APs includes:
1 Add each Altitude AP manually to each Summit WM Controller.
2 On the AP Properties page, click Add Altitude AP.
3 Define the Altitude AP, and then click Add Altitude AP.
Manually defined APs will inherit the default AP configuration settings.
CAUTION
If two Summit WM Controllers are paired and one has the Allow All option set for Altitude AP registration, all APs
will register with that Summit WM Controller.
To set the primary or secondary Summit WM Controllers for availability:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude AP Configuration. The Altitude AP Registration page is
displayed.
2 In the left pane, click WAP Registration. The Altitude AP Registration page is displayed.
