Folders vs. Locations
The 700wl Series system provides two means of grouping its physical components: Folders and
Locations.
• Folders are used within the Administrative Interface as a way to organize Access Controllers in the
System Components List for convenience in the configuration, management, and monitoring of
system components.
• Locations are used within the Rights Management system to logically group sets of Access
Controller ports, or specify client devices by MAC addresses, to define the physical locations
through which clients may connect to the 700wl Series system. The client’s physical location is one
of the factors that determines the access rights eventually granted to that client. See Chapter 4,
“Configuring Rights” for a much more detailed explanation of Locations are how they are used
within the Rights Management system.
A Location may consist of a client device (defined by the MAC address), or one or all ports on an
Access Controllers—the grouping is based on sets of ports that should be associated with a common
Access Policy (or set of access rights).
