AP Table - Update (requires Level 10 permission)

Use this page to modify an access point's configuration.

In the AP Name box, you can modify the name for the access point. The required name can be 1-63 alphanumeric characters long, and can contain spaces.
You cannot change the serial number.
In the Location box, optionally type the location of the access point. The location is for information only and can be 1-64 alphanumeric characters long and contain spaces (for example, San Jose).
In the Building box, optionally type the name of the building where the access point is located. The building description is for information only and can be 1-64 alphanumeric characters long and contain spaces (for example, building 1).
In the Floor box, optionally type the floor where the access point is located. The floor description is for information only and can be 1-64 alphanumeric characters long and contain spaces (for example, first floor).
In the Contact box, type the name of the contact person or group for the access point. This is an alphanumeric string from 1-64 characters long and may contain spaces (for example, Chris Smith).
The LED Mode is used to help the administrator identify a running access point from the lights on the access point itself. The LED Mode light is the Status LED.
In the LED Mode list, select one of the following: (not supported for AP150, OAP180,or RS4000)
- Normal: The LED Status light is controlled by the Controller.
- Dark: Dark means that all LED's (except the power LED) are off.
- NodeId LED with a long yellow light, followed by a series of short green lights. The number of short green lights is equal to the number of the AP ID modulo 10. Therefore, for AP IDs 4, 14, and 24, the NodeID mode will blink with a long yellow light followed by 4 short green lights. For AP IDs 7, 17, and 27, the NodeID mode will blink with a long yellow light followed by 7 green lights. Using this mode will help to the system administrator identify an AP from other APs in the system. Not supported on AP300.
- Blink: The LED Mode (Status) light blinks off and on. The blink behavior is different for each AP.
In the AP Init Script box, type the script that is run when the access point is booted. This AP initialization script will be invoked by the AP when it boots up. When specified, this script overrides the default AP initialization script given in the Global Controller Configuration screen.
The script must be previously uploaded to the controller in ATS/scripts before you specify the script to be used.

To specify a boot script for all access points, use the Global Controller Parameters page.
In the Dataplane Encryption list, for the optional Enterprise Mesh configuration, select how the AP and Controller pass data packets:
- On: the AP-Controller link is encrypted
- Off: the AP-Controller link is unencrypted (default)
In the AP Role drop-down list, select the role the AP plays in the WLAN:
- access: Access point is operating as a standard, wired AP.
- wireless: Access Point is part of the Enterprise Mesh configuration, providing wireless access services to 802.11/bg clients and backhaul services on the 802.11/a link.
- gateway: Access point is part of the Enterprise Mesh configuration, providing the link between the wired and wireless service.
In the Parent AP ID box, for the optional Enterprise Mesh configuration, specify a numeric identifier from 1-9999. In a mesh configuration, a wireless AP is directed to look for a signal from a Parent AP, which provides the wireless AP with its backhaul connectivity. Several APs can be assigned the same Parent AP ID. Several APs can be assigned the same Parent AP ID.
In the Link Probing Duration box, specify the duration (from 1 to 32000 minutes) that bridged APs wait before rebooting when the controller link is broken. This setting is used in Tunneled AP configurations to prevent AP reboots when the connectivity to the remote controller is lost. The default is 120.
Select a Power Supply Type from the drop-down list. The following are supported:
- 802.3-af: Default power supply. Select this when using a traditional PoE. This power supply type only supports 2x2 MIMO mode on AP320.
- 802.3-at: Select when using a higher-powered, next generation PoE. This power supply type supports 3x3 MIMO mode.
- 5V-DC: Select when AP300 is plugged into a wall outlet. This power supply type supports 3x3 MIMO mode on AP320.
- dual-802.3: Select when using a dongle that combines power from two traditional PoEs. This power supply type supports 3x3 MIMO mode on AP320.
Indicate whether this is an Indoor AP or an Outdoor AP.
Click OK.

The following table describes access point information that is available if you click the Show Detail Info link.

Uptime	Amount of time the access point has been up.
Operational State	Enabled or Disabled
Availability Status	Online or Offline
Alarm State	Highest value of the state of recently received alarms
Boot Image Version	Version of the ROM boot image on the access point
FPGA Version	Version of the FPGA chip on the access point (not supported for AP150, RS4000, OAP180, or AP300)
Runtime Image Version	Version of the operating system image on the access point. This version should always match the software version for the controller.
Connectivity Layer	Network layer through which the access point is connected to the controller: L2: Access point is in the same subnet as controller. L3: Access point is in a different subnet from controller and connected to controller through a router.
Parent MAC Address	Specifies the MAC address of the Parent AP when Enterprise Mesh is configured.
AP Model	The AP model (for example, AP320).
AP Label	The version of AP Air Traffic System in use (for example ATS2).
Hardware Revision	The version of the AP (for example, Rev 1, Rev 2, ).
