CHAPTER 9
Wireless LAN Profiles
This chapter shows you how to configure wireless LAN profiles on your Zyxel Device.
9.1 Wireless LAN Profiles Overview
The managed Access Points designed to work explicitly with your Zyxel Device do not have on-board
configuration files, you must create “profiles” to manage them. Profiles are preset configurations that
are uploaded to the APs and which manage them. They include: Radio and Monitor profiles, SSID
profiles, Security profiles, and MAC Filter profiles. Altogether, these profiles give you absolute control over
your wireless network.
9.2 AP Radio & Monitor Profile Commands
The radio profile commands allow you to set up configurations for the radios onboard your various APs.
The monitor profile commands allow you to set up monitor mode configurations that allow your APs to
scan for other APs in the vicinity.
The following table identifies the values required for many of these commands. Other input values are
discussed with the corresponding commands.
