7. Use the Adoption Policy drop-down menu to select an AP-6511 adoption policy to assign a specific
Profile to Access Points based on model, serial number, VLAN, DHCP option, IP address or MAC address.
An Adoption Policy screen displays requiring a name be defined before the policy’s configuration can be
set.
8. Select + Add Row below the Network Time Protocol (NTP) table to define the configurations of NTP

7.1.1 General Profile Configuration and Deployment Considerations
General Profile Configuration
Before defining a general profile configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the
configuration is optimally effective:
A default profile is applied automatically to an AP-6511, and default AP profiles are applied to APs
discovered and adopted by a controller.
A central difference compared to the default-radio configurations in previous WiNG releases is default
profiles are used as pointers of an AP’s configuration, not just templates from which the configuration is
copied. Therefore, if a change is made in one of the parameters in a profile, the change is reflected across
all APs using that profile.
Each user defined profile requires a unique name.
User defined profiles can be automatically assigned to Access Points using AP adoption policies.
Access Points are automatically assigned a default profile based on the hardware type selected when
the profile is initially created.
AutoKey Select the radio button to enable an autokey configuration for the NTP
resource. The default setting is disabled.
Key If an autokey is not being used, manually enter a 64 character maximum key
the AP-6511 and NTP resource share to securely interoperate.
Prefer Select the radio button designate this particular NTP resource as preferred. If
designating multiple NTP resources, preferred resources will be given first
opportunity to connect and provide NTP calibration.
Server IP Set the IP address of each server added as a potential NTP resource.
Version Use the spinner control to specify the version number used by this NTP server
resource. The default setting is 0.
