1.2.2.1 Adaptive AP
An adaptive AP (AAP) is an AP-5131 or AP-7131 Access Point adopted by a wireless switch. The management of an AAP
is conducted by the switch, once the Access Point connects to the switch and receives its AAP configuration.
An AAP provides:
• local 802.11 traffic termination
• local encryption/decryption
• local traffic bridging
• tunneling of centralized traffic to the wireless switch
The connection between the AAP and the switch can be secured using IPSec depending on whether a secure WAN link
from a remote site to the central site already exists.
The switch can be discovered using one of the following mechanisms:
• DHCP
• Switch fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
CAUTION: Only a qualified installation professional should set or restore the access
point’s radio and power management configuration in the event of a password reset.
