5 - 2 WiNG 5 Access Point System Reference Guide
5.1 RF Domain Configuration
An access point’s configuration is composed of numerous elements including a RF Domain, WLAN and device specific
settings. RF Domains are used to assign regulatory, location and relevant policies to access points of the same model.
For example, an AP-6532 RF Domain can only be applied to another AP-6532 model.
An access point RF Domain allows an administrator to assign configuration data to multiple access points deployed
in a common coverage area (floor, building or site). In such instances, there’s many configuration attributes these
access points share, as their general client support roles are quite similar.
However, an access point’s RF Domain configuration may need periodic refinement from its original RF Domain
designation. Unlike a RFS series controller, an access point supports just a single RF domain. Thus, administrators
should be aware that overriding an access point’s RF Domain configuration results in a separate configuration that
must be managed in addition to the RF Domain configuration. Thus, a configuration should only be overridden when
needed. For more information, see
RF Domain Overrides on page 5-181 .
The access point’s RF Domain can have a WIPS sensor configuration applied. For more information on defining a WIPS
sensor configuration for use with the access point’s RF Domain, see
RF Domain Sensor Configuration on page 5-5 .
To set a RF Domain configuration:
1. Select Configuration > Devices > RF Domains from the Web UI.
The RF Domain Basic Configuration screen displays by default with the access point RF Domain activated.
