Working with controlled APs
Provisioning APs
6-31
The country configuration for the Base group looks like this:
After changing the country setting, APs must be synchronized.
Note In some regions, APs are delivered with a fixed country setting. If you place an AP with a
fixed country setting into a group that has a different country configuration, the AP will fail to
be synchronized. (The error Incompatible settings will be displayed on the Controlled
APs >> Overview > Discovered APs page).
Caution Incorrectly setting the country may result in illegal operation and may cause harmful
interference to other systems. Please consult with a professional installer who is trained in
RF installation and knowledgeable about local regulations to ensure that the AP is operating
in accordance with channel, power, indoor/outdoor restrictions and license requirements for
the intended country. If you fail to heed this caution, you may be held liable for violating the
local regulatory compliance
Provisioning APs
Provisioning is the means by which you can change the factory default IP addressing method
and controller discovery settings on controlled APs.
Provisioning is generally not required when deploying controlled APs in simple network
topologies. However, it is required as when:
Controlled APs do not have layer 2 connectivity to a controller and where it is not
possible to control the DNS or DHCP server configuration. See Discovery
recommendations on page 6-10.
Controlled APs need to be deployed with static IP addresses.
Controlled APs use a local mesh to connect to the controller. See Provisioning local
mesh links on page 13-12. This feature is not supported on the MSM317.
To accelerate the discovery process on networks with a large number of VLANs, or when
many VLANs are connected to many controllers.
When multiple controllers are available to an AP and you want to make sure an AP
always connects to the same controller.
