5.4.5 Device Overrides
Overriding a Device Configuration
A profile enables an administrator to assign a common set of configuration parameters and policies to another access point of
the same model. Profiles can be used to assign shared or unique network, wireless and security parameters to access points
across a large, multi segment, site. The configuration parameters within a profile are based on the hardware model the profile
was created to support. The central benefit of a profile is its ability to update devices collectively without having to modify
individual device configurations.
However, device profile configurations may need periodic refinement from their original administered design. Consequently, a
device profile could require modification from a profile configuration shared amongst numerous devices deployed within a
particular site.
Use device overrides to define configurations overriding the parameters set by the target device’s original profile configuration.
To define a general profile override configuration:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
3. Select Device Overrides.
4. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
5. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
6. Select General if it does not display by default.
