Note: The same site configuration file can be used to configure WNS units and WAPs in a network.
When the site configuration file is applied to WAPs, all switch port settings are ignored by the
WAP.

6.3 Editing Site Configuration Files

The site configuration file can be opened on a PC and edited using a text editor. Parameters are changed
by modifying the text and saving the file. A description of the editable parameters are covered in the
following sections.

To edit a site configuration file:

1. Open a text file editor on your PC.
2. Locate and open the site configuration file ap_site_settings.conf. This is usually stored in the file

directory folder of the TFTP server.

3. Edit the parameters as required.
4. Save the site configuration file in the directory folder of the TFTP server.

6.3.1 Network

The network section of the configuration file defines common LAN settings to all devices on a network
as shown below.

# Mine Site Technologies Wireless Network Switch / Wireless Access Point Site
