Configuring Wireless AP Settings

Wireless APs are added with default settings, which you can adjust and configure according to

your network requirements. In addition, you can modify the properties and the settings for each

radio on the Wireless AP.

You can also locate and select Wireless APs in specific registration states to modify their settings.

For example, this feature is useful when approving pending Wireless APs when there are a large

number of other Wireless APs that are already registered. On the Access Approval screen, click

Pending to select all pending Wireless APs, then click Approve to approve all selected Wireless

APs.

Configuring Wireless AP settings can include the following processes:

• Modifying a Wireless AP’s Status

• Configuring a Wireless AP’s Properties

• Configuring Wireless AP Radio Properties

• Setting Up the Wireless AP Using Static Configuration

• Setting Up 802.1x Authentication for a Wireless AP

When configuring Wireless APs, you can choose to configure individual Wireless APs or

simultaneously configure a group of Wireless APs. For more information, see “Configuring

Multiple Wireless APs Simultaneously” on page 3-66.

Modifying a Wireless AP’s Status

only approved Wireless APs to connect, then the status of the Wireless AP is Pending. You must

modify the security mode to Allow all Wireless APs to connect. For more information, see

“Security Mode” on page 3-16.
