● Step 3 – Assign the Wireless APs to their home Summit WM Controllers.
● Step 4 – Enable both the Summit WM Controllers as an availability pair.
● Step 5 – Define a primary Summit WM Controller.
● Step 6 – Select one of the security mode options:
● Allow all Wireless APs to connect – If the Summit WM Controller does not recognize the
Wireless AP’s serial number, it sends a default configuration to the Wireless AP. If the Summit
WM Controller recognizes the serial number, it sends the specific configuration (port and binding
key) set to the Wireless AP.
● Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect – If the Summit WM Controller does not
recognize the Wireless AP’s serial number, it prompts you to create a configuration. If the Summit
WM Controller recognizes the serial number, it sends the configuration (port and binding key) to
the Wireless AP.
