NOTE
Security mode is a Summit WM Controller property. It defines how the Summit WM Controller behaves when
registering new devices. During the registration process, the Summit WM Controller's approval of the Wireless
APs depends on the security mode that has been set.
Allow all APs to connect:
●
If the Summit WM Controller does not recognize the registering serial number, a new
■
registration record is automatically created for the Wireless AP. The Wireless AP receives a
default configuration.
If the Summit WM Controller recognizes the serial number, it indicates that the registering
■
device is pre-registered with the Summit WM Controller. The Summit WM Controller uses the
existing registration record, and existing configuration record to authenticate and configure
the Wireless AP respectively.
Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect:
●
If the Summit WM Controller does not recognize the Wireless AP, the Wireless AP's
■
registration record is created in pending state. You must manually approve a pending Wireless
AP. As long as the Wireless AP is in pending state, it receives minimum configuration that
only allows it to maintain an active link with the Summit WM Controller for future state
change. For more information, see
If the Summit WM Controller recognizes the serial number, it uses the existing registration
■
record to authenticate the Wireless AP. Following the successful authentication, the Wireless
AP is configured according to its stored configuration record.
