Description:

This article describes how to assign a WLAN profile and certificate to new access points to enroll them for management by a WLAN controller.



Requirements:
  • Any browser for access using WEBconfig



Procedure:

To enroll an access point for management and have it broadcast a wireless LAN, it needs to have a certificate and a WLAN configuration.


1) Automatically accept new access points:

1.1) Automatic certificate assignment:

The certificate is issued if a configuration is available for the new access point (see step 1.2 or step 2).

1.1.1) In the menu WLAN Controller -> General, enable the option Automatically accept new APs (Autoaccept).

1.2) Automatic configuration assignment:

A default profile is specified, and this specifies a WLAN profile. This will be automatically assigned to a new access point.

1.2.1) In the menu WLAN Controller -> General, enable the option Automatically provide APs with a default configuration.
