To define a radio as preferred, the Access Point preference ID should be same as the adoption
preference ID. The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A controller will
preferentially adopt Access Points having the same adoption-preference-id as the controller itself.
The Adoption Preference ID defines the controller preference ID. The value can be between 1 and
65535. To define radios as preferred, the Access Point preference ID should be same as the adoption
preference ID. If the value is set to 0, the controller automatically changes the value to 1.
5 To enable the automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network, select the Adopt
unconfigured radios automatically option. Default radio settings are applied to Access Points when
automatically adopted. Enable this option to allow adoption even when the Access Point is not
configured. Default radio settings are applied to Access Points adopted automatically.
6 To use WIPS enter a Primary WIPS Server Address and Secondary WIPS Server Address into the
corresponding fields.
NOTE
When using an AP35XX for use with WIPS and as a sensor you must first configure the WIPS server IP
Addresses before converting the AP35XX to a sensor.

values. The Access Point can get disconnected if the 802.1x authenticator is not configured
accordingly.
NOTE
802.1x username and password information is only passed to adopted Access Points when the Username and
Password are set. Any AP adopted after this does not automatically receive a username and password.
NOTE
After setting the username and password to factory default settings, the system must be rebooted before the
factory default settings are applied
