Single Point Setup
This chapter describes how to configure Single Point Setup over multiple WAP devices.
It includes these topics:
• Single Point Setup Overview
• Access Points
• Sessions
• Channel Management
• Wireless Neighborhood
Single Point Setup Overview
Single Point Setup provides a centralized method to administer and control wireless services
across multiple devices. You use Single Point Setup to create a single group, or cluster, of
wireless devices. After the WAP devices are clustered, you can view, deploy, configure, and
secure the wireless network as a single entity. After a wireless cluster is created, Single Point
Setup also facilitates channel planning across your wireless services to reduce radio
interference and maximize bandwidth on the wireless network.
When you first set up your WAP device, you can use the Setup Wizard to configure Single
Point Setup or join an existing Single Point Setup. If you prefer not to use the Setup Wizard,
you can use the web-based configuration utility.
Managing Single Point Setup Across Access Points
Single Point Setup creates a dynamic, configuration-aware cluster, or group, of WAP devices
in the same subnet of a network. A cluster supports a group of up to 16 configured WAP371
devices, but no other non-WAP371 models in the same cluster.
