Once the Wireless AP is registered with a HiPath Wireless Controller, the
Wireless AP must be configured. After the Wireless AP is registered and
configured, it can be assigned to a Virtual Network Segment (VNS) to handle
wireless traffic.
4.2.2.1 Default Wireless AP configuration
Default Wireless AP configuration simplifies the registration after discovery
process. Default Wireless AP configuration acts as a configuration template that
can be automatically assigned to new registering Wireless APs. The default
Wireless AP configuration allows you to specify common sets of radio
configuration parameters and VNS assignments for Wireless APs. For more
information, see Section 4.5.7, “Configuring the default Wireless AP settings”, on
page 128.
4.2.3 Understanding the Wireless AP LED status
