Configuring the Altitude AP

Summit WM Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 4.1 User Guide

Configuring the default AP settings

Altitude APs are added with default settings. You can modify the system’s Altitude AP default settings

accordingly, and then use these default settings to configure newly added Altitude APs. In addition,

you can base the system’s Altitude AP default settings on an existing Altitude AP configuration or have

configured Altitude APs inherit the properties of the default Altitude AP configuration when they

To configure the default AP settings:

1 From the main menu, click Altitude AP Configuration. The Altitude AP screen is displayed.

2 In the left pane, click AP Default Settings.

3 Modify the following AP default settings as required:

● AP Properties

● Radio Settings

● Static Configuration

● Dynamic Radio Management

● WM-AD Assignments

4 In the AP Properties section, modify the following:

● Poll Timeout * Interval – Type the timeout and interval values, in seconds, for polling the

controller. The default values are 10 seconds and 2 seconds, respectively.

● Telnet Access – Select whether Telnet Access to the Altitude AP is enabled or disabled.

● Maintain client sessions – Select whether the AP should remain active if a link loss with the

controller occurs. This option is enabled by default.

● Broadcast for disassoc. – Select if you want the Altitude AP to use broadcast disassociation when

disconnecting all clients, instead of disassociating each client one by one. This will affect the

behavior of the AP under the following conditions:

■ If the Altitude AP is preparing to reboot or to enter one of the special modes (DRM initial

channel selection).

■ If a BSSID is deactivated or removed on the Altitude AP.

This option is enabled by default.

● Country – Select the country of operation. This option is only available with some licenses.

5 In the Radio Settings section, modify the following:

● Enable Radio – Select the radios you want to enable.

● DTIM * Beacon Period – For each radio, type the desired DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication

Message) period—the number of beacon intervals between two DTIM beacons. To ensure the best

client power savings, use a large number. For example, 5. Use a small number for broadcast and

multicast delay. The default value is 1.

● RTS/CTS * Frag. Threshold – For each radio, type the packet size threshold, in bytes, above

which the packet will be preceded by an RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake.

The default value is 2346, which means all packets are sent without RTS/CTS. Reduce this value

only if necessary. Also, type the fragment size threshold, in bytes, above which the packets will

be fragmented by the AP prior to transmission. The default value is 2346, which means all

packets are sent unfragmented. Reduce this value only if necessary.

● Channel – For each radio, select the wireless channel that the Altitude AP will use to

communicate with wireless devices. Depending on the regulatory domain (based on country),
