4.7 Modifying the Wireless AP’s default setting using the Copy to Defaults
feature
You can modify the system’s default AP settings by using the Copy to Defaults
feature on the AP Properties tab. This feature allows the properties of an already
configured AP to become the system’s default AP settings.
To modify the system’s default AP settings based on an already configured
AP:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The HiPath
Wireless AP page is displayed.
2. In the Wireless AP list, click the Wireless AP whose properties you want to
become the system’s default AP settings. The AP Properties tab displays
Wireless AP information.
3. If applicable, modify the Wireless AP’s properties. For more information, see
Section 4.5.2, “Modifying a Wireless AP’s properties”, on page 90.
4. To make this AP’s configuration be the system’s default AP settings, click
Copy to Defaults. A pop-up window asking you to confirm the configuration
change is displayed.
5. To confirm resetting the system’s default AP settings, click OK.
4.8 Configuring Wireless APs simultaneously
In addition to configuring Wireless APs individually, you can also configure
multiple Wireless APs simultaneously by using the AP Multi-edit functionality.
Configuring Wireless APs simultaneously is similar to modifying the system’s
default AP settings or individual Wireless APs.
When selecting the Wireless APs to simultaneously configure, you can use the
following criteria:
• Select the Wireless APs by hardware type
• Select the Wireless APs individually
You can select multiple hardware types and individual Wireless APs by pressing
the Ctrl key and selecting the hardward types and specific Wireless APs.
Note: Only settings and options supported by all of the selected hardware types
are available for configuring.
