Profile

The switch can support APs that have different hardware capabilities, such as the supported number of radios
and the supported IEEE 802.11 modes. APs that use the same profile should have the same hardware
capabilities so that the settings you configure in the profile are valid for all APs within the profile.
Table 327 describes the fields available on the Profile page.
Field Description
Hardware Type Select the hardware type for the APs that use this profile. The hardware type is determined,
ID in part, by the number of radios the AP supports (single or dual) and the IEEE 802.11 modes
that the radio supports (a/b/g or a/b/g/n). The options available in the Hardware Type ID are:
• Any (can support all models in the DWL-X600AP family)
• DWL-8600AP Dual Radio a/b/g/n
• DWL-3600AP Single Radio b/g/n
• DWL-6600AP Dual Radio a/b/g/n
Wired Network Enter the VLAN ID that the switch uses to send tracer packets in order to detect APs
Discovery VLAN connected to the wired network.
ID
The tracer packets help the switch identify unauthorized APs that do not belong to the
Unified Wired and Wireless Access System but are connected to the wired network.
To add a new profile, go to the WLAN > Administration > Advanced Configuration > AP Profile page, enter a
name for the new profile in the available field, and click Add.
Command Buttons
The page includes the following buttons:
• Refresh—Updates the page with the latest information.
• Submit—Updates the switch with the values you enter. To retain the new values across a power cycle,
you must perform a save on the WLAN switch (not the AP). To perform a save, click Tool > Save Changes.
• Next—Navigates to the next page in the Basic Setup configuration. Any changes you made to the current
page are saved before the next page is displayed. To retain the new values across a power cycle, you must
perform a save on the WLAN switch (not the AP). To perform a save, click Tool > Save Changes.
