APs that receive their configurations from the template also receive the radio settings from the radio profile used by the template. Likewise, the SSIDs and encryption settings come from the service profiles mapped to the radio profile. To use a radio profile other than default, you must specify the radio profile you want to use. (See “Specifying the Radio Profile Used by the Template” on page 254.)

Changing AP Parameter Values

The commands for configuring AP and radio parameters for the template are the same as the commands for configuring an individual Distributed AP. Instead of specifying a Distributed AP number with the command, specify auto. For more information about the syntax, see the “AP access point Commands” chapter of the Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Command Reference.
