D-Link UWS User Manual
Standalone APs are managed individually, and not by using a D-Link Unified Switch. By including standalone
APs in the Valid AP database and specifying their expected settings, you can help ensure that only legitimate
APs are on your network. If any of the expected settings you configure for the standalone AP do not match the
settings detected through the RF scan, and the
Standalone AP with unexpected configuration
test is enabled
on the
WLAN > Administration > Advanced Configuration > WIDS Security
page, the standalone AP is listed
as a Rogue on the
WLAN > Monitoring > Access Point > Rogue/RF Scan
page.
If you select Standalone from the Managed Mode menu on the
Valid Access Point Configuration
page, the
screen refreshes, and additional fields appear. The following table describes the additional information you
can include about the standalone APs you add to the Valid AP database.
Command Buttons
The page includes the following buttons:
•
Refresh
—Updates the page with the latest information.
•
Delete
—Deletes the AP from the local Valid AP database. Managed APs must be reset to complete their
removal from the Valid AP database.
•
Submit
—Updates the switch with the values you enter. To retain the new values across a power cycle,
you must perform a save (Tool > Save Changes).
