for this AP and set the Spectrum Override field back to No.
Configuring a Controller to use the Spectrum Profile
You can use AirWave to customize individual fields in the profile instance used by a particular controller without
having to create new Dell Networking W AP groups and new radio profiles. To do this, you can set a controller-level
override for its referenced Spectrum profile, as illustrated in Figure 112. This will affect all Spectrum-supported APs
managed by this controller.
Figure 112:Override Section of a Supported Controller's Manage Page
Perform these steps to override individual profile settings for a Dell Networking W-Series controller that is part of a
spectrum-mode Dell Networking W AP group:
1. Select a Spectrum-supported Dell Networking W-Series controller that is referencing a Spectrum profile, and go to its
APs/Devices > Manage page. Set it to Manage Read/Write mode.
2. Under the Dell Networking W Overrides section, click the Add New Dell Controller Override button.
3. In the Profile drop-down menu, select the Spectrum Profile type.
4. In the Profile Instance drop-down menu, select the instance of the Spectrum profile used by the controller.
5. In the Field drop-down menu, select the setting you would like to change (such as an Age-Out setting or a Spectrum
Band), and enter the overriding value below it.
6. Select Add to save your changes.
7. Repeat this process to create additional overrides for this controller.
8. When you have finished, select Save and Apply.
You can also use the above procedure to turn on Spectrum mode for radio profiles on one particular controller, or use the
overrides to point your radio profile to a non-default Spectrum profile for just this controller.
