ProSafe 20-AP Wireless Controller WC7520 Reference Manual Figure 7. One of the advanced features of the wireless controller is the capability to create multiple access point profile groups. Each access point operates using one profile group. The default profile group is called 'basic.' A profile group includes all the features that you can configure for an individual access point, including up to 8 SSIDs, security, QoS, load balancing, and so on. For a basic configuration, the default profile group applies to all access points that are controlled by the wireless controller. For an advanced configuration, access point profile groups are an important tool: you can create separate policies per profile group. These policies can include up to 8 separate sets of SSIDs per group, QoS, authentication servers, MAC ACLs, rogue access point detection, rate limiting, wireless-on/off schedules, and so on. Figure 8 shows an example of access point profile groups. Figure 8. Before you start the configuration of your wireless controller, decide whether you can use a basic configuration (that is, follow the basic submenus) or need to use an advanced configuration (that is, follow the advanced submenus). Once you have made your choice, configuring the wireless controller should be fairly easy if you consistently follow either the basic submenus or the advanced submenus.
