6.2.2 Editing Device Configuration Files
Device configuration files contain settings specific to each WAC in the network device. A device
configuration file is created for each WAC. Device configuration files follow the naming convention
ap_MACaddress.conf where MACaddress is the MAC address of the WAC. A device will recognise
and apply the device configuration file based on a comparison of the MAC address in the file name.
Note that any parameter from the site configuration file can override parameters in a device configuration
file. However, it is recommended that only the settings that are different be entered into the device
configuration file in order to make maintenance easier.
A device configuration file configures individual settings for each device as shown below. The device
configuration file can be edited using a text editor such as Wordpad or Notepad. The example below
includes settings that are commonly over-ridden. All other settings are inherited from the global site
configuration file. Comments are prefixed with a hash symbol (#) and are ignored by the device. These
are not necessary for configuration but may be included for convenience.
