Chapter 3
Installing AP320i
AP320i is supported by System Director versions 3.6.1 and greater, but full support begins with System
Director release 4.x and later. Because of this, when using AP320i with System Director 3.6.1, the unit
shows as an AP300, for example AP320 instead of AP320i. All AP320i units still function correctly, they
just display as AP300 because AP320i did not exist when System Director 3.6.1 was released.
This chapter describes how to install and configure an AP320i. It contains the following sections:
