Using AP Location Wildcards
The location profiles allow zero (0) to be used as a wildcard in the location
index. This allows you to configure AP attributes for the entire system, a
particular building, or a single floor.
The profile system is also hierarchical: the attributes in more generic profiles
(those with more wildcards) are overridden by the attributes in the more
specific profiles (those with fewer wildcards). This lets you create a set of
default attributes for all APs, and then add layers of attribute overrides for each
building, floor, and AP.
z The Base Profile
The base profile uses location index 0.0.0 (all wildcards). This special profile
holds the default attributes used for all APs in the system, but can be
overridden by any other profile.
z Building Profiles
A building profile uses the location index <building>.0.0 (wildcards for floor and
device). Attributes configured in building profiles override those in the base profile.
Unless overridden by floor or individual profiles, these attributes affect all APs
in the specified building.
z Floor Profiles
A floor profile uses the location index <building>.<floor>.0 (wildcard for device).
Attributes configured in floor profiles override those in the base and building
profiles. Unless overridden by individual profiles, these attributes affect all APs
on the specified floor.
z Individual AP Profiles
Attributes configured for an individual AP (no wildcards) always override those
in the base, building, and floor profiles.
