"Create" button | Opens the "Select Country, AP Series and Profile Type" dialog box to begin creating an AP Profile. Refer to Operation Reference > Wireless Configuration > Configure AP Profiles for more details.
"Apply Config" button | Opens the "Apply Configuration" dialog box. This allows you to apply changes to the selected AP Profile to APs which have been assigned the AP Profile. X AP: Shows the number of APs to which the AP Profile is applied. Device Name: Shows the name of the AP. If the AP was added from the Guest Device List, the guest device name is displayed. IP Address: Shows the AP's IP address. If the Management Status is "Waiting", "Retrieving" is shown. MAC Address: Shows the device's MAC address. If the Management Status is "Waiting", "Retrieving" is shown. Management Status: Shows the Management Status of the AP. Unmanaged: The AP is not managed because one of the IP address, MAC address or AP Profile is not configured. Discovering: The AWC Plug-in is searching for the AP. Applying: The AWC Plug-in is applying a configuration update to the AP. Managed: The AP is being managed by the AWC Plug-in. Waiting: The AP was provisioned by AMF configuration and has just been assigned an AP Profile. Or, the AP was provisioned to use DHCP to register IP/MAC addresses to the AWC Plug-in, and has just been assigned an AP Profile. Failed: The AP is no longer managed by the AWC Plug-in. Not Authenticated: The AP cannot be managed because the number of managed APs reached the maximum number allowed by the registered Wireless AP licenses. Alternatively, the AP cannot be managed because the AP belongs to a Channel Blanket or Smart Connect network, but the number of managed APs has reached the maximum number allowed by the registered Channel Blanket / Smart Connect licenses. Config Status: Shows the configuration status of the AP. Not Configured: The AP is not fully configured. Not Applied: The configuration has not been applied to the AP by the AWC Plug-in. Latest: The latest configuration has been applied to the AP. Pending: An out-of-date configuration has been applied to the AP (newer configuration has not been applied). AP Profile / SC Profile: Shows the associated AP Profile. When using AWC-SC, if all APs belong to Management Groups with Smart Connect Profiles assigned, each row of this column shows the SC Profile name assigned to the Management Group, regardless of whether the AP supports AWC-SC or the feature is enabled on it. "OK" button: Applies changes to the AP Profile of APs. It also applies pending AP-specific configuration updates to APs. "Cancel" button: Closes the dialog box without applying the AP Profile.
"Copy" button | Duplicates the AP Profiles that are selected (checked). The name of the duplicated AP Profile is of the format Original Profile Name plus "_copy". If that name is already in use, a number in brackets follows the suffix, for example, "_copy(1)" Note An AP profile cannot be copied if its name plus a string "_copy" exceeds 101 characters in length. In that case, a dialog box will appear and tell you that the profile was not copied.
X AP Profile | Shows the number of AP Profiles.
X SELECTED | Shows the number of AP Profiles that are selected (checked).
Search AP Profile | Lets you search and filter AP Profiles in the list. The Search field lets you enter a partial string to match. The screen displays entries with that string in one of the following fields: "Configuration Name", "Profile Type", "Management Group" or "Tag". To remove the filter, delete the string from the search field and press enter. Note The search is case-sensitive.
