Working with controlled APs
Provisioning
To enable a service controller to send provisioned settings to controlled APs, you must
first activate the Enable provisioning of controlled APs option on the Service
Controller >> Controlled APs > Provisioning page.
Note Until this option is enabled, provisioned settings defined on the service controller are not
sent to any controlled APs.
After an AP has been updated with provisioned settings, these settings do not become
active until the AP is restarted, or a Remove and rediscover action is executed on the
Controlled APs >> Configured APs page.
Directly provision an AP using its management tool: In its factory default state, the
AP provides a provisioning menu with the same options that are available on the service
controller. Use this method when there is no local service controller on which to perform
the provisioning.
Note Once an AP has established the secure management tunnel with a service controller, the
provisioning menu on the AP is no longer accessible.
In both cases, the configuration settings that you have access to are the same. They are
described in the following sections.
