Working with third-party APs
You can set up the Summit WM Controller to handle wireless device traffic from third-party access
points, providing the same policy and network access control. This process requires the following steps:
Step 1 - Define a data port as a third party AP port
Step 2 - Define a WM-AD for the third-party AP port
Step 3 - Define authentication by Captive Portal and RAD policy for the third-party AP WM-AD
Step 4 - Define filtering rules for the third-party APs
CAUTION
The Outdoor AP is not a third party AP. The Outdoor AP is fully managed by the Summit WM controller just like an
Altitude AP.
