3. If you made any changes to the settings, click SAVE and then verify the results.

Configuring the Access Point Default Settings

You must configure the default Access Point settings for the APs installed at your
site, either:

• 1.4 GHz Access Points
• 2.4 GHz Access Points

Configuring the

1.4 GHz Access

Point Default

Settings

The next step is to configure the 1.4 GHz Access Point default settings for this
installation. Refer to the information you documented on the 1.4 GHz Access Point
Default Configuration Worksheet (page 2-32) during this step.

The default AP settings you configure here are global settings that will become the
base configuration for all 1.4 GHz AP Groups you establish in the next step (refer to
“Configuring AP Groups” on page 3-28).
To configure the 1.4 GHz Smart Hopping Access Point default settings:
1. From within View Device tree, browse to the AP Basic Defaults screen under

System/Access Point Defaults/1.4 GHz Smart Hopping AP Defaults.

2. Set the Partnered AP Controller drop down list to “ANY.”
3. Set the Default Group drop-down list to Smart-hopping.
