Field Default Description
802.11a Traffic
Management
Profile
default
Specify the minimum percentage of available bandwidth to be allocated to a
specific SSID when there is congestion on the wireless network, and sets the
interval between bandwidth usage reports. This setting pertains specifically to
802.11a.
IDS Profile default
Selects the IDS profile to be associated with the new AP Group. The drop-down
menu contains these options:
l ids-disabled
l ids-high-setting
l ids -low-setting
l ids-medium-setting
The IDS profiles configure the AP’s Intrusion Detection System features, which
detect and disable rogue APs and other devices that can potentially disrupt
network operations. An AP is considered to be a rogue AP if it is both
unauthorized and plugged into the wired side of the network. An AP is
considered to be an interfering AP if it is seen in the RF environment but is not
connected to the wired network.
Select the pencil icon next to this field to display the Profiles > IDS page and
adjust these settings as desired.
Mesh Radio
Profile
default
Determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links
and the path to the mesh portal, including the maximum number of children a
mesh node can accept, and transmit rates for the 802.11a and 802.11g radios.

Select Add to complete the creation or click Save to complete the editing of the Dell Networking W AP Group. This
group now appears in the navigation pane of the Dell Networking W Configuration page.
AP Overrides
The AP Overrides component of Dell Networking W Configuration allows you to define device-specific settings for an
AP device without having to remove that device from an existing Dell Networking W AP Group or create a new Dell
Networking W group specifically for that device. The AP Overrides page is for custom AP devices that otherwise
comply with most settings in the Dell Networking W AP Group in which it is managed.
The AP Overrides page displays all AP overrides that are currently configured. These overrides also appear in the
navigation pane at left. The name of any override matches the AP device name. Select Add on the AP Overrides page to
create a new AP Override, or click the pencil icon next to an existing override to edit that override.
