CHAPTER 12 AP Profile 12.1 Overview This chapter shows you how to configure preset profiles for the Access Points (APs) connected to your NWA3000-N series AP's wireless network. 12.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • The Radio screen (Section 12.2 on page 149) creates radio configurations that can be used by the APs. • The SSID screen (Section 12.3 on page 154) configures three different types of profiles for your networked APs. 12.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter. Wireless Profiles At the heart of all wireless AP configurations on the NWA3000-N series AP are profiles. A profile represents a group of saved settings that you can use across any number of connected APs. You can set up the following wireless profile types: • Radio - This profile type defines the properties of an AP's radio transmitter. You can have a maximum of 32 radio profiles on the NWA3000-N series AP. • SSID - This profile type defines the properties of a single wireless network signal broadcast by an AP. Each radio on a single AP can broadcast up to 8 SSIDs. You can have a maximum of 32 SSID profiles on the NWA3000-N series AP. • Security - This profile type defines the security settings used by a single SSID. It controls the encryption method required for a wireless client to associate itself with the SSID. You can have a maximum of 32 security profiles on the NWA3000-N series AP.
