Changing from Advanced Mode to Normal Mode Configuration
Before disabling advanced mode configuration, you must verify that all WLAN
assignments are compatible with normal mode. Check that:
■ WLANs 1, 5, 9, and 13 (if enabled) are assigned to BSSID 1
■ WLANs 2, 6, 10, and 14 (if enabled) are assigned to BSSID 2
■ WLANs 3, 7, 11, and 15 (if enabled) are assigned to BSSID 3
■ WLANs 4, 8, 12, and 16 (if enabled) are assigned to BSSID 4
If necessary, reconfigure the WLAN assignments as described in “Enabling WLANs
Using Advanced Mode Configuration” on page 4-13. You must also remove all
WLANs with indexes 17 and higher from the BSSIDs.
Note WLANs 17 through 256 are not available in normal mode. If you want the Wireless
Edge Services zl Module to continue supporting one of these WLANs, then you must
configure the corresponding SSID and settings on a WLAN with an index number
from 1 through 16.
