Configuring Model-Based Settings

If you want to apply a set of settings to all APs of a particular model, use the Model Specific Options section.

Complete the following steps to configure the model based settings.
  1. From the left-pane, click Access Points. The Access Points page appears.
  2. From the list, select the AP for which you want to apply the model-based settings and click Configure. The Edit AP is displayed.
  3. Scroll down to the Model Specific Options section, and expand the section.
  4. In Model Specific Control, select the Override zone config check box. The settings available for the AP model are displayed.
  5. In the General Options section, configure the following settings.
    NOTE
    The options that appear in the Model Specific Options section depend on the AP model that you select. Not all the options described in the following table are displayed for every AP model.
    Option Description
    USB Port To disable the USB port on the selected AP model, select the Disable USB port check box. USB ports are enabled by default.
    Status LEDs To disable the status LED on the selected AP model, select the Disable Status LEDs check box.
    LLDP To enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on the selected AP model, select the Enable Link Layer Discovery Protocol check box.
    • Enter the Advertise Interval duration in seconds.
    • Enter the Hold Time duration in seconds.
    • Select the Enable Management IP TLV check box.
    PoE Operating Mode Select the PoE operating mode of the selected AP model. Available options include Auto (default), 802.3af and 802.3at mode. If 802.3af PoE Operating Mode PoE is selected, this AP model will operate in 802.3af mode and will consume less power than in 802.3at mode. However, when this option is selected, some AP features, such as the USB port and one of the Ethernet ports, are disabled to reduce power consumption. For AP model R640, if 802.3at PoE Operating Mode PoE is selected and the USB Port option is enabled, the second Ethernet port and any devices running on that port will be disabled.
    PoE out port To enable the PoE out port on the selected AP model, select the Enable PoE out ports (specific ZoneFlex AP models only) .
    NOTE
    If the controller country code is set to United Kingdom, an additional Enable 5.8 GHz Channels option will be available for outdoor 11n and 11ac APs. Enabling this option allows the use of restricted C-band channels. These channels are disabled by default and should only be enabled by customers with a valid license to operate on these restricted channels.
    Internal Heater To enable the heater that is built into the selected AP model, select the Enable internal heaters (specific AP models only) check box.
    External Antenna (2.4 GHz) To enable the external 2.4-GHz antenna on the selected AP model, select the Enable external antenna check box, and then set the gain value (between 0 and 90dBi) in the field provided.
    External Antenna (5 GHz) To enable the external 5-GHz antenna on the selected AP model, select the Enable external antenna check box, and then set the gain value (between 0 and 90dBi) in the field provided.
    NOTE
    For H series AP models such as H500 and H510, you can disable LAN5.
  6. In the Port Settings section, configure the following options for each LAN port.
    NOTE
    The number of LAN ports that appear in this section correspond to the physical LAN ports that exist on the selected AP model.
    NOTE
    When trunk port limitation is enabled, the controller does not validate the port settings configured in the AP or the AP group with no members.
    Option Description
    Enable Use this option to enable and disable this LAN port on the selected AP model. By default, this check box is selected. To disable this LAN port, clear this check box.
    Profile Use this option to select the Ethernet port profile that you want this LAN port to use. Two default Ethernet port profiles exist: Default Trunk Port (selected by default) and Default Access Port. If you created Ethernet port profiles (see Creating an Ethernet Port Profile), these profiles will also appear on the drop-down list.
    NOTE
    If you recently created an Ethernet port profile and it does not appear on the drop-down menu, click Reload on the drop-down menu to refresh the Ethernet port profile list.
    Overwriter VLAN Select the Overwriter VLAN check box and enter:
    • Untag ID—Default: 1
