6.2 Network Global Template
Use the network Global Template to configure shared aspects of AP operation. As a
minimum, there should be one template for mandatory settings and one global template for
baseline AP configuration.
The mandatory settings template includes:
• QCI to DSCP mapping
• AP Temperature limits
The baseline Global Template includes:
• Core network connection defaults (assumes APs connecting to the same NOS will
use the same set of core network entities)
• Time related defaults (NTP servers and time zone)
• REM (Network Listen) defaults (recommended if APs will use the same REM
settings as a baseline)
• NOS connections (recommended to ensure all APs connecting to the same NOS
are consistently configured for connecting to NOS services)
Also refer to section 3 for considerations that will affect the content of these templates.
Note: When using the Create Site Wizard, the Security Gateway Address and Management
Server Address (NOS address) are auto-assigned so they do not need to be in a template.
It may still be useful to specify them so that they are explicitly captured.
6.3 AP Mode and Regional Templates
If there are multiple AP use cases for APs connecting to the same NOS, create one or more
use case templates that reflect the different modes and/or regional templates that reflect
local policies.
These can either be applied to APs as an overlay after initial pre-provisioning, or
automatically by associating the templates with Product Classes that reflect the AP use
cases or deployment regions.
