Modifying wireless AP settings
employed at any time if required. In the branch office model, wireless APs are installed in
remote sites, while the HiPath Wireless Controller is in the central office. The wireless APs
require the capability to interact in both the local site network and the central network. To
achieve this model, a static configuration is used.
To set up a wireless AP using static configuration:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The HiPath Wireless AP screen
appears.
2. Click the appropriate wireless AP in the list.

In static configuration, if the wireless AP cannot register with the HiPath Wireless
Controller within the specified number of retries, the wireless AP will use SLP, DNS,
and SLP multicast as a backup mechanism. If unsuccessful, the wireless AP
resumes the discovery process with the static configuration, followed with SLP, DNS,
and SLP multicast. For more information, see Section 5.2, “Discovery and
registration overview”, on page 71.
