AP Overrides operate as follows in Dell PowerConnect W Configuration:
 Custom-created AP Overrides appear in the Dell PowerConnect W Configuration navigation pane, as
illustrated in Figure 5.
 Dell PowerConnect W controllers and AP devices operate in Dell PowerConnect W AP Groups that define
shared parameters for all devices in those groups. The Dell PowerConnect W Configuration > Dell
PowerConnect W AP Groups page displays all current Dell PowerConnect W AP groups.
 AP Override allows you to change some parameters for any specific device without having to create a Dell
PowerConnect W AP group per AP.
 The name of any AP Override should be the same as the name of the device to which it applies.
This establishes the basis of all linking to that device.
 Once you have created an AP Override for a device in a group, you specify the WLANs to be included and
excluded.
