Modifying wireless AP settings
● Use broadcast for disassociation – Select if you want the wireless AP to use
broadcast disassociation when disconnecting all clients, instead of disassociating
each client one by one. This will affect the behavior of the AP under the following
conditions:
● If the Wireless AP is preparing to reboot or to enter one of the special modes
(DRM initial channel selection).
● If a BSSID is deactivated or removed on the Wireless AP.
This option is disabled by default.
● Country – Select the country of operation. This option is only available with some
licenses.
The following on the AP Properties tab are view only:
● Serial # – Displays a unique identifier that is assigned during the manufacturing
process.
● Hardware Version – Displays the current version of the Wireless AP hardware.
● Application Version – Displays the current version of the Wireless AP software.
● Status:
Approved – Indicates that the wireless AP has received its binding key from the
HiPath Wireless Controller after the discovery process.
● Pending – Indicates that the wireless AP has not yet successfully been approved
for access with the secure controller.
You can modify the status of a Wireless AP on the Access Approval screen. For more
information, see Section 5.5.1, “Modifying a Wireless AP’s status”, on page 82

5.5.4 Modifying the wireless AP’s radio properties
Most properties of the wireless AP’s radios can be modified without requiring a reboot of the
wireless AP. However, modifying the following will require a reboot of the wireless AP:
● Enabling or disabling either radio
● Changing the radio channel between Auto and any fixed channel number
If the wireless AP does require a reboot, a warning message is displayed to the user in the
HiPath Wireless Assistant.
