OTE: Aruba Networks recommends that you provision each AP for a unique
location as suggested by site-survey planning. Label each AP with this
location information and place the AP in its proper location. Failure to
place APs in the location for which they were provisioned will reduce the
effectiveness of such RF features as triangulation.

We can see that the Subnet is still configured and Port/s are selected.
11. When finished provisioning APs, click Disable to disable AP Provisioning.
N
OTE: Disable AP Provisioning after all the required APs are provisioned. Ports
that are enabled for provisioning do not handle traffic. Therefore plugging
an already provisioned AP into a port still set to provisioning mode will
prevent that AP from functioning.
Now the AP is configured with the Parameters given
12. Reboot the AP so the AP will come up with the new configured parameters.
Use the Reprovisioning tab for APs which are already deployed but need to be
