Conguring DWL-8220AP Access Points
Conguring AP Port Parameters
To congure a switch for connection to an access point, you must do one of the following:
• For an access point directly connected to a switch port, congure the switch port as a
DWL-8220AP access port.
• For an access point indirectly connected to a switch through an intermediate Layer or
Layer network, congure a Distributed AP on the switch.
Optionally, you also can change other parameters that affect the entire AP:
• AP name
• Dual-home bias
• Load-balancing group
• Automatic rmware upgrade capability
• LED blink mode
The table below lists how many APs you can congure on a switch, and how many APs a
switch can boot. The numbers are for directly connected and Distributed APs combined.

Setting the Port Type for a Directly Connected AP
You must set the port type on switch ports that are directly connected to DWL-8220AP access
points.
When you change port type, MSS applies default settings appropriate for the port type. The
table on the next page lists the default settings that MSS applies when you set a port’s type
to ap.
