Inheritance of parameters
A LANCOM WLAN Controller is capable of managing a wide range of different
Access Points at different locations. However, WLAN profiles include settings
that are not equally suitable for every type of Access Point that can be man-
aged. There are differences between the country settings and the device prop-
erties, for example.
In order to avoid having to maintain multiple redundant WLAN profiles to
cater for countries or device types, it is possible to "inherit" selected properties
from the logical WLAN networks and the physical WLAN parameters.
햲
You should initially generate the basic settings that are valid for the
majority of the managed Access Points.
햳
You can then start to generate entries for the more specific values, e.g.
physical settings for a certain country, or a logical WLAN network for pub-
lic access by mobile clients.
햴
Select the entry from which the values are to be inherited and mark the
values for inheritance. Parameters inherited in this way are displayed in
the configuration dialog in gray and they cannot be edited.
햵
Depending on the application, the WLAN settings collected in this way are
then grouped into separate profiles, and these are then assigned to their
respective Access Points.
