Adding a W-IAP to the Network
To add a W-IAP to the Instant network, assign an IP address. For more information, see Assigning an IP address
to the W-IAP on page 16.
After a W-IAP is connected to the network, if the Auto-Join feature is enabled, the W-IAP inherits the
configuration from the VC and is listed in the Access Points tab.
If the auto-join mode is disabled, perform the following steps by using the Instant UI.
In the Instant UI:
To add a W-IAP to the network:
