5 Configuring Access Point Settings an AP profile to the device. When the switch collects and reports information from the RF scan, it can assign the appropriate status to an AP if it is in the database. Figure 48. Configuring a Valid AP Table 16 describes the fields available on the Valid Access Point Configuration page. Table 16. Valid AP Configuration Field MAC Address Managed Mode Location Authentication Password Profile Description This field shows the MAC address of the AP. To change this field, you must delete the entire Valid AP configuration and then enter the correct MAC address from the page that lists all Valid APs. You can configure the D-Link Access Point to be in one of three modes: • Standalone-The AP acts as an individual access point in the network. You do not manage the AP by using the switch. Instead, you log on to the AP itself and manage it by using the Administrator Web User Interface (UI) or CLI. • WS Managed-The AP is part of the D-Link Unified Access System, and you manage it by using the D-Link Unified Switch. If an AP is in Managed Mode, the Administrator Web UI on the AP are disabled. • Acknowledged Rogue-The AP has been discovered by the switch and acknowledge as a Rogue. This AP is not a D-Link Access Point. You can add an Acknowledged Rogue to the Valid AP list to prevent the Rogue from being identified as a threat. To help you identify the AP, you can enter a location. This field accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. You can require the AP to authenticate itself with the switch upon discovery. If you require authentication, which is a setting on the Basic Setup > Global tab, you enter the password in this field. The password in this field must match the password configured on the AP. If you configure multiple AP Profiles, you can select the profile to assign to this AP. For more information about configuring AP Profiles, see "Creating, Configuring, and Managing AP Profiles" on page 155. Configuring Valid Access Point Settings 107
