AP Groups
AP Groups can be used to define configuration options and applying these settings to multiple APs at once
without having to modify each AP’s settings individually. If your wireless network covers a large physical
environment and you want to provide wireless services with different settings and policies to different areas
of your environment, you can use AP Groups to do this instead of having to modify the settings of each AP
individually. For example, if your wireless network covers two floors and you need to provide wireless
access to visitors on the 1st Floor, you can simply setup two different AP Groups with different settings and
policies to suit your application.
Overwriting Group Settings
Group settings can be overridden by individual AP settings. For example, if you want to set the transmit
power to a lower setting for only a few specific APs, under the Device Config screen click on the Device
Name field of the Access Point (which is already in a group) you wish to configure and you will be directed
to a screen where you can configure override settings for the selected Access Point.
