Adding a fit AP template
There are two types of fit AP templates: common templates and auto templates.
• Common fit AP template
After you add a common fit AP template on the AC, the AC matches the serial number of a fit
AP with the serial number in the fit AP template when the fit AP is trying to connect to the AC. If
a match is found, the fit AP can connect to the AC. Otherwise, the fit AP cannot connect to the
AC.
• Auto fit AP template
After you enable Auto AP and add an auto fit AP template corresponding to a fit AP model on
the AC, the AC matches the serial number of a fit AP with the serial number in the fit AP
template when the fit AP is trying to connect to the AC. If no common fit AP template exists, or
no match is found, the AC matches the fit AP model against that in the auto fit AP template. If a
match is found, the fit AP can connect to the AC. Otherwise, the fit AP cannot connect to the
AC.
When a fit AP automatically connects to an AC through an auto fit AP template, the AC
generates a temporary fit AP template, which is displayed in the Fit AP List of the current AC.
Operators can modify the name of the temporary fit AP template at the CLI to change it to a
common fit AP template. If the temporary fit AP template is not changed to a common template,
the temporary template will be automatically deleted after the automatically connected fit AP
goes offline. For more information, see the configuration guide of the AC.
To add a fit AP template:
1. Click the Service tab.
2. From the navigation tree, select WLAN Manager > Resource Management > ACs.
3. The AC List page displays all ACs.
4. Click the Operation icon for the target AC, and from the menu, select Fit AP List.
The Fit AP List page displays all fit APs.
5. Click Add.
6. Set the following parameters as needed:
{
AP Name—Enter the name of the fit AP template to uniquely identify the fit AP template.
{
AP Alias—Enter the alias of the fit AP template.
{
Serial Number—Enter the serial number of the fit AP or enter Auto (case insensitive).
If you enter Auto, you add an auto fit AP template. Then, after you enable Auto AP in AC
Parameter Configuration (see "
Viewing AP license information "), all fit APs with the same
device model as that configured in the auto fit AP template can automatically connect to the
AC and displayed in the Fit AP List with the names AP name_001, AP name_002, ... AP
name_00N (AP name is the auto fit AP template name). When a fit AP goes offline, it is not
displayed in the Fit AP List. Operators can log in to the AC to switch the auto fit AP template
to a common one and rename the fit AP.
{
Model—Select the model of the fit AP. Options are all fit AP models supported by the current
AC.
{
Work Mode—Select the operating mode of the fit AP. Options are Normal, Monitor, and
Hybrid. Operating in normal mode, the fit AP only provides WLAN services for clients.
Operating in monitor mode, the fit AP monitors all devices in the WLAN, but it does not
