Parameter Description
Link Priority Ethernet Set the priority of the wired uplink. Each uplink type has an associated
priority; wired ports having the highest priority by default.
Link Priority Cellular Set the priority of the cellular uplink. By default, the cellular uplink is a
lower priority than the wired uplink; making the wired link the primary
link and the cellular link the secondary or backup link.
Configuring the cellular link with a higher priority than your wired link
priority will set your cellular link as the primary controller link.
Cellular modem network pref-
erence
The cellular modem network preference setting allows you to select how
the modem should operate.
l auto (default): In this mode, the modem firmware will control the
cellular network service selection; so the cellular network service
failover and fallback is not interrupted by the remote AP (RAP).
l 3g_only: Locks the modem to operate only in 3G.
l 4g_only: Locks the modem to operate only in 4G.
l advanced: The RAP controls the cellular network service selection
based on the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) threshold-
based approach. Initially the modem is set to the default auto mode.
This allows the modem firmware to select the available network. The
RAP determines the RSSI value for the available network type (for
example 4G), checks whether the RSSI is within required range, and if
so, connects to that network. If the RSSI for the modem’s selected
network is not within the required range, the RAP will then check the
RSSI limit of an alternate network (for example, 3G), and reconnect to
that alternate network. The RAP will repeat the above steps each time
it tries to connect using a 4G multimode modem in this mode.

Uplink VLAN If you configure an uplink VLAN on an AP connected to a port in trunk
mode, the AP sends and receives frames tagged with this VLAN on its
Ethernet uplink.
By default, an AP has an uplink vlan of 0, which disables this feature.
If an AP is provisioned with an uplink VLAN, it must be connected to a
trunk mode port or the AP’s frames will be dropped. 0 ( disabled) to 4095
0
USB power mode Set the USB power mode to control the power to the USB port.
Assigning Provisioning Profiles
Once you have defined a provisioning profile, you must assign that profile to an AP group.
1. Navigate to the Configuration>AP configuration window and select the AP group tab.
2. Click the Edit button by the name of the AP group to which you want to assign the provisioning profile.
