10.4 Establishing Basic Adaptive AP Connectivity

This section defines the activities required to configure basic AAP connectivity with a WS5100 or
RFS7000 model switch. In establishing a basic AAP connection, both the access point and switch
require modifications to their respective default configurations. For more information, see:

10.4.1 Adaptive AP Configuration

An AAP can be manually adopted by the switch, adopted using a configuration file (consisting of the
adaptive parameters) pushed to the access point or adopted using DHCP options. Each of these
adoption techniques is described in the sections that follow.
