Only the policy templates that are applied to a location are used for AP classification at that location.
Other templates that are configured but not applied to the location, will not be used for AP classification,
as they are not a part of the WLAN policy for that location.
The authorized policy templates created at other locations can be applied to a selected location but
cannot be edited or deleted. The edit and delete operations are possible only at the location where the
template is created.
A child location automatically inherits the authorized WLAN policy from its parent. You can customize the
WLAN policy for a child location. You can also switch back to an inherited policy in case you have created
a customized policy.

Define RSSI based classification, if the WIPS is intended for use in an isolated environment without
much of a neighborhood activity like defense and military facilities. It is recommended to skip this
section altogether in case of commercial or business district environments. Either of the following two
mechanisms must be switched on to classify the APs.
a) Enter the threshold RSSI value to use for preclassification of APs with signal strength stronger
than this value as rogue or unauthorized APs.
b) Select the Preclassify APs connected to monitored subnets as Rogue or Authorized APs to
preclassify the APs connected to monitored subnets as rogue or authorized APs.
