Modifying Wireless APs’ properties
After the Wireless APs are successfully registered, you can modify their properties.
To modify the Wireless AP’s properties:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude APs. The Altitude AP screen is displayed.
2 In the Altitude APs list, click the Wireless AP for which you want to modify the properties. The AP
Properties tab is displayed.
The AP Properties displays the following properties:
● Name – By default, this text box contains the serial number of the Wireless AP.
● Description – Short description of the Wireless AP.
● AP Environment – Wireless AP’s environment — Indoor or Outdoor.
NOTE
The AP Environment field is displayed on the AP Properties screen only if the selected Wireless AP is the Outdoor
Wireless AP.
Since the Outdoor Wireless AP can be deployed in an indoor and an outdoor environment, the AP Properties
screen enables you to specify the environment.
If the selected Wireless AP is the Altitude AP, the AP Properties screen will not display the AP Environment field.
The reason is that the Altitude AP is always deployed in the indoor environment.
● Poll Timeout – The timeout value for polling the Summit WM Controller. The value is in
seconds. The default value is 15 seconds.
● Poll Interval – The time interval during which the polling will occur. The value is in seconds. The
default value is two seconds.
● Telnet Access – The option to enable/disable the telnet access to the Wireless AP. The default
value is disabled.
● Maintain client session in event of poll failure – Select this option, if you want the Wireless AP
to remain active in case the link with the Summit WM Controller is lost. This allows service for
the branch WM-ADs to continue during temporary network outages.
NOTE
Since the Altitude 802.11n AP cannot work as a stand-alone AP, the Maintain client session in event of poll failure
parameter is not displayed on the AP Properties page if the selected Wireless AP is 802.11n AP (Altitude 450/
451).
● Restart service in the absence of controller – Select this option (if using a bridged at AP WM-
AD) to ensure that the Wireless APs continue providing service even if their connectivity to the
Summit WM Controller is lost.
NOTE
The Restart service in the absence of controller parameter is not displayed on the AP Properties page if the
selected Wireless AP is 802.11n AP (Altitude 450/451).
