System Planning and Deployment Scenarios

ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC9500

Basic and Advanced Setting Concepts

You can deploy the wireless controller in a small wireless network with 10 or 20 access points

or in a large wireless network with up to 600 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. In 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 maintains 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 support dif

ferent 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. The following figure

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

Configuration > Security > Advanced submenu on the right:
