5 In the AP Properties section, confirm that the Poll Timeout is set to its default value i.e., 15. If the
Poll Timeout value is not set to its default value, change it to the default value.
The Poll Timeout is the time in which the polling to the Summit WM Controller ‘times out’.
If the Poll Timeout value is less than 15 (seconds), the Wireless AP failover will not succeed because
the secondary controller will not be ‘ready’ to accept the failover APs. The secondary controller takes
around 12 to 14 seconds after the primary controller goes down to be ‘ready’ to accept the failover
Wireless APs.
If the Poll Timeout value is more than 15 (seconds), the Wireless APs failover will be unnecessarily
delayed, because the Wireless APs will continue polling the primary controller even though the
secondary controller is ‘ready’ to accept them as the failover APs.
