Manually removing Access Points from the WLAN infrastructure

ule from 'Managed' to 'Client' or 'Access Point'.

or

햵

Deactivating an Access Point
To deactivate an Access Point, set its corresponding entry in the AP table to
'inactive' or delete the entry from the table. In the Access Point, the WLAN
modules in managed mode are switched off and the corresponding SSIDs are
deleted.
The WLAN modules and the WLAN networks (SSIDs) are still switched
off even if standalone operation ('Standalone operation') is activated.
An Access Point deactivated in this way remains connected to the WLAN
Controller and the certificates are retained. The WLAN Controller can reacti-
vate the Access Point and its managed-mode WLAN modules at any time sim-
ply by activating the entry in the AP table or by making a new entry in the AP
table along with the appropriate MAC address.
