Initial AP configuration

Before connecting to Cloud Network Manager:

•If an AP is shipped with factory default settings, the Cloud Network Manager applies the default configuration parameters on the AP when it connects to the Cloud Network Manager. The user can change the values in the default group and the AP inherits this automatically.

•If the AP is operational in subscriber networks, the configuration parameters of an AP were already changed from factory default settings. When the AP connects to Cloud Network Manager, no configuration is required.

Importing existing configuration from AP

When a preconfigured AP is included in Cloud Network Manager, it is initially listed under unprovisioned group.

To import a configuration to AP:

1.Go to https://portal.hpcloudnetworkmanager.com and log in with your user credentials.

2.Ensure that the AP is connected to the wired network.

3.Click an AP. The Import New Group and Overwrite Existing Config options are displayed.

4.To create a new group, click Import to New Group tab and then click Save.

To overwrite an existing configuration, click Overwrite Existing Config.

5. Click Save.

Cloud Network Manager deletes the existing configuration and applied the group configuration.
