Advanced Profile Miscellaneous Configuration

Overriding a Profile’s Advanced Configuration

Refer to the advanced profile’s Miscellaneous menu item to set or override a profile’s NAS
configuration. The profile database on the RADIUS server consists of user profiles for each
connected network access server (NAS) port. Each profile is matched to a username representing
a physical port. When the wireless controller authorizes users, it queries the user profile database
using a username representative of the physical NAS port making the connection. Access Point
LED behavior and RF Domain management can also be defined from within the Miscellaneous
screen.

Select Miscellaneous from the Advanced menu item

This is the RADIUS NAS port ID attribute which identifies the device port where a RADIUS
message originates.

Select the Turn on LEDs option (within the LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) field) to enable the LED
flash patterns on an Access Point.

Select the Flash Pattern (2) option to flash an Access Point’s LED’s in a distinct manner
(different from its operational LED behavior) to allow an administrator to validate an
Access Point has received its configuration from its managing controller or service
platform.

Enabling this feature allows an administrator to validate an Access Point has received its
configuration (perhaps remotely at the site of deployment) without having to log into the
managing controller or service platform. This feature is disabled by default.

Select the Capable check box (within the RF Domain Manager section) to designate this specific
device as being the RF Domain manager for a particular RF Domain. The default value is enabled.
