4. Set an Adoption Preference ID value between 1 and 65535.
To define a radio as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference
ID. The adoption preference ID is used for AP load-balancing. A switch will preferentially adopt Access
Ports having the same adoption-preference-id as the switch itself.
The Adoption Preference ID defines the switch preference ID. The value can be between 1 and 65535. To
define radios as preferred, the Access Port preference ID should be same as the adoption preference ID.
If the value is set to 0, the switch automatically changes the value to 1.
In a layer 3 environment, the Access Port adoption process is somewhat unique, for more information,
see
Configuring Layer 3 Access Port Adoption on page 4-136.
5. To enable the automatic adoption of non-configured radios on the network, select the Adopt
unconfigured radios automatically option. Default radio settings are applied to Access Ports when
automatically adopted. Enable this option to allow adoption even when the Access Port is not configured.
Default radio settings are applied to Access Ports adopted automatically.
6. To limit the number of voice enabled MUs which are associated, click the Voice Call Admission
Control checkbox. Limiting voice MU traffic in a supported WLAN is a good idea to maintain data rates,
voice quality and throughput. WMM admission control is a mechanism for limiting traffic on a given
access category. Per the recommendation of the 802.11e specification, Motorola limits support of this
feature to voice and video. The switch configures the AP to broadcast that admission control is
configured by default on AP300s.
7. To use WIPS enter a Primary WIPS Server Address and Secondary WIPS Server Address into the
corresponding fields.
8. Click the Configure Port Authentication button to open a new dialogue with port authentication
configuration information.
9. Click OK to save the changes and return to the previous screen.
Port Authentication
To configure the port authentication settings on an Access Port:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the Global Settings button.
4. Click the Configure Port Authentication button.
5. Enter the 802.1x Username assigned to the Access Port.
6. Enter the 802.1x Password (for the corresponding username) providing authorization for Access Port
authorization adoption.
NOTE: When using an AP-5131for use with WIPS and as a sensor you must first configure
the WIPS server IP Addresses before converting the AP-5131 to a sensor.
NOTE: The default user name and password for AP300 port authentication is a user name
of admin and a password of symbol.
