System Planning and Deployment Scenarios

ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600

Basic and Advanced Setting Concepts

You can deploy the wireless controller in a small wireless network with 10 access points or in

a large wireless network with up to 150 access points. Small networks require a basic

configuration, but large networks can become complex and require you to configure the

advanced features of the wireless controller.

Depending on your network configuration, use basic settings or advanced settings to manage

your access points:

• Basic settings for a typical network.

The basic settings work with most common

network configurations. For example, all access points on the WLAN are for the same

organization or business and therefore adhere to the same policies and use a few service

set identifiers (SSIDs, or network names).

• Advanced settings for access point profile groups. If you have a large wireless

network, or if separate networks share a single WLAN, use the advanced settings to set

up multiple access point profile groups with multiple security profiles (SSIDs with

associated security settings). For example, a shopping mall might need several access

point profile groups if several businesses share a WLAN but each business has its own

network. Larger networks could require multiple access point profile groups to allow

dif

ferent policies per building or department. The access points could have different

security profiles per building and department, for example, one for guests, one for

management, and one for sales.

Note: Access point profile groups are also referred to as just profile groups.

Profiles, security profiles, and SSIDs (that is, SSIDs with associated

security settings) are terms that are interchangeable.

To accommodate all types of networks, almost all configuration menus of the web

management interface are divided into basic and advanced submenus.

shows an example of the Configuration > Security > Basic submenu on the left and the

Configuration > Security > Advanced submenu on the right:
