ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 Single Controller Configuration with Advanced Profile Groups A more complex configuration consists of a single wireless controller that controls a collection of access points that are organized in access point profile groups and might use several profiles in each access point profile group.

Configure the network authentication and data encryption. Configuration > Profile > Advanced 3. Assign the VLAN. 4.
