The Configured APs page provides the following information:

an AP that is offline for a known reason (such as maintenance, relocation) to differentiate
it from other APs that are offline for unknown reasons (network failure, power failure, or
other issues that prevent them from communicating with the controller). APs flagged as
Admin Down do not appear in the count of offline APs shown on the dashboard. When
an AP comes back online, the Admin Down flag is automatically cleared. Only offline
APs can be flagged as Admin Down.
• Add: Select this button to manually add an AP.
• Export: Select this button to export the list of APs as an XML file for use in other applications.
