Wi-Fi Uplink The Wi-Fi uplink is supported for all the W-IAP models but only the master W-IAP uses this uplink. The Wi-Fi allows uplink to open, PSK-CCMP, and PSK-TKIP SSIDs. l For single radio W-IAPs, the radio serves wireless clients and the Wi-Fi uplink. l For dual radio W-IAPs, both radios can be used to serve clients but only one of them can be used for the Wi-Fi uplink. NOTE: When the Wi-Fi uplink is in use, the client IP is assigned by the internal DHCP server. You can provision an Instant AP to support the Wi-Fi uplink. l To bind or unbind the Wi-Fi uplink on the 5 GHz band, you must reboot the W-IAP. l If the Wi-Fi uplink is used on the 5 GHz band, mesh is disabled. The two are mutually exclusive. l As of DellOS 6.2, APs do not support forming a Wi-Fi uplink with a W-IAP. Provisioning Wi-Fi Uplink To provision the Wi-Fi Uplink: 1. Navigate to Settings > Show advanced options > Uplink. 2. Under WiFi, enter the name of the wireless network that is used for the Wi-Fi uplink in the Name (SSID) text box. 3.
