CHAPTER 9

Wireless LAN Profiles

This chapter shows you how to configure wireless LAN profiles on your NXC.

9.1 Wireless LAN Profiles Overview

The NWA5160N Access Points designed to work explicitly with your NXC do not have on-

board configuration files, you must create “profiles” to manage them. Profiles are preset

configurations that are uploaded to the APs and which manage them. They include: Radio and

Monitor profiles, SSID profiles, Security profiles, and MAC Filter profiles. Altogether, these

profiles give you absolute control over your wireless network.

9.2 AP & Monitor Profile Commands

The radio profile commands allow you to set up configurations for the radios onboard your

various APs. The monitor profile commands allow you to set up monitor mode configurations

that allow your APs to scan for other APs in the vicinity.

The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input

values are discussed with the corresponding commands.
