•Role – Click the role for the Wireless AP, either Access Point or Sensor.
Once the Wireless AP is configured as Sensor, it no longer performs RF
services, and is no longer managed by the HiPath Wireless Controller.
• Poll Timeout – Type the timeout value, in seconds. The Wireless AP
uses this value to trigger re-establishing the link with the HiPath Wireless
Controller if it (Wireless AP) does not get an answer to its polling. The
default value is 10 seconds.
• Poll Interval – Type the interval value, in seconds, for polling the
controller. The default value is 2 seconds.
• Telnet Access – Click whether Telnet Access to the Wireless AP is
enabled or disabled.
• Maintain client session in event of poll failure – Select this option (if
using a bridged at AP VNS) if the AP should remain active if a link loss
with the controller occurs.This option is enabled by default.
• Restart service in the absence of controller – Select this option (if
using a bridged at AP VNS) to ensure the Wireless APs’ radios continue
providing service if the Wireless AP’s connection to the HiPath Wireless
Controller is lost. If this option is enabled, it allows the Wireless AP to start
a bridged at AP VNS even in the absence of a HiPath Wireless Controller.
