SonicPoints for Wireless Access
Configuring Provisioning Profiles
SonicPoint Profile definitions include all of the settings that can
be configured on a SonicPoint, such as radio settings for the
2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, SSIDs, and channels of operation.
Once you have defined a SonicPoint profile, you can apply it to
a Wireless zone. Each Wireless zone can be configured with
one SonicPoint profile. When a SonicPoint is connected to a
zone, it is automatically provisioned with the profile assigned to
that zone. SonicOS includes a default SonicPoint profile,
named SonicPoint.
To add a new profile, click
Add
below the list of SonicPoint
provisioning profiles. To edit an existing profile, select the profile
and click the
