Introduction

ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600

- Create access point profile groups. Organize access point profiles in access point

profile groups to differentiate between buildings, floors, businesses, business

divisions, and so on. Easily assign access points to profile groups or change

assignments.

For more information, see Chapter 6, Manage Security Profiles and Profile Groups.

• Discover Access Points in the Network and Provision IP Addresses and Firmware

- Discover access points in the network. The access points can be in factory default

state or functioning in standalone mode, but after discovery by the wireless controller

and addition to the managed access point list, the access points become dependent

(managed) access points.

- Provision IP addresses to the access points. Use the internal DHCP server to

provision IP addresses to all or selected managed access points in the network.

- Upgrade access point firmware. Update and synchronize new firmware versions to

all managed access points in the network.

For more information, see Chapter 7, Discover and Manage Access Points.

• Centrally Manage the Wireless Settings for the Network

- Schedule the radios. Schedule the entire network to go offline, or schedule access

point profile groups to go offline.

- Manage wireless settings and channel allocation. Manage the wireless settings

such as wireless mode, data rate, and channel width for the entire network or for

access point profile groups, and manage channel allocation for the entire network.

- Manage QoS settings. Manage QoS queue settings for data, background, video,

and voice traffic for access point profile groups.

coverage hole detection for the entire network or for access point profile groups.
