Setting up a Permanent Spectrum Dell AP Group
If you have multiple supported Dell PowerConnect W-Series APs in multiple controllers that you want to run in
Spectrum mode over the long run, you create a special Dell PowerConnect W AP group and set up a profile that is
set to
spectrum-mode and references the default Spectrum profile. Set up more than one profile if you want to
utilize both radio bands in Spectrum mode.
If you use an 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile to create a group of spectrum monitors, all APs in any AP group
referencing that radio profile will be set to spectrum mode. Therefore, best practices are to create a new 802.11a or
802.11g radio profile just for spectrum monitors.
If Use Global Dell PowerConnect W Configuration is enabled in AMP Setup > General , create the configuration
below, then go to the controller group's Dell PowerConnect W Config page and select the newly created Dell
PowerConnect W AP Group.
Perform these steps to set the AP group to use the default Spectrum profile settings:
1. In Groups > Dell PowerConnect W Config , select Add New Dell PowerConnect W AP Group .
2. Give the new Group a name (such as Spectrum APs) and select the plus sign next to the 802.11a Radio Profile
to create a new radio profile.
3. Enter a name under the General Settings section of Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio .
4. In the Other Settings section, change the Mode field from ap-mode to spectrum-mode , as illustrated in Figure
109 , and then select Save .

The above steps will use the defaults in the referenced Spectrum Profile . In most cases, you should not change the
settings in the default profile. If you must change the defaults, however, navigate to Groups > Dell PowerConnect
W Config > Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio > Spectrum page and create a new Spectrum profile with non-
default settings.
If all of the devices in this Dell PowerConnect W AP Group are managed by the same controller and you want to
temporarily override one or more profile settings in your spectrum-mode APs, you can set up a controller override.
To disable spectrum mode in this group, change the referenced radio profile back to default .
