5.5 Overriding a Device Configuration
Devices within the access point managed network can have an override configuration defined and applied. New
devices can also have an override configuration defined and applied once
Refer to the following override the configuration of an access point managed device:
• Basic Configuration
• Assigning Certificates
• RF Domain Overrides
• Profile Overrides
5.5.1 Basic Configuration
When a device is initially deployed, it requires several basic configuration parameters be set and its deployment
location defined. Additionally, the number of permitted licenses needs to be accessed to determine whether new
devices can be adopted (if in Virtual Controller AP mode).
Applying a basic configuration override to a device entails changing (overriding) the device’s system name,
deployment area, building floor and system clock.
To override a managed device’s basic configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices .
3. Select Device Overrides .
4. Select a target device MAC address from either the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI or within
the Device Overrides screen.
The Basic Configuration screen displays by default.
NOTE: The best way to administer a network populated by numerous access points is to
configure them directly from the designated Virtual Controller AP. If an access point’s
configuration requires an exception from the Virtual Controller AP’s assigned profile
configuration the administrator should apply a Device Override to change just that access
point’s configuration. For more information on applying an override to an access point’s
Virtual Controller AP assigned configuration profile, see
Profile Overrides on page 5-123 .
