How to Configure a Device


Use RoamAbout Wireless Manager to configure the settings of an individual AP4102 device. If desired, you can save the configuration as a template that you can then apply to other devices. Only AP4102 devices are configurable.

  1. In the RoamAbout Wireless Manager device tree, right-click on an AP4102 device and select Configure Device. The Element Configuration window opens.
  2. The left panel lists all the configurable components for the device. Select the desired nodes and configure the settings. Click the Refresh button if you would like to re-display the settings on the device rather than any changes you have made.
    NOTE: Only settings from enabled nodes will be written to the device. A disabled node has a red X () on it. Use the toolbar buttons to enable or disable an individual node , a node group , or all nodes . You can use this functionality when configuring a device to make sure that you are only setting the desired values, by disabling all nodes except the desired node.
  3. If you would like to save this device configuration as a template, click Save As Template and enter a template name. The template will now be listed in the Wireless Templates window (Tools > AP Templates) and can be applied to other devices. Again, you can use the enable/disable node functionality (see Note above) to specify which components you want that template to configure. Only enabled nodes will be set on devices when you apply the template to devices.
    NOTE: When you save a configuration as a template, the password fields in the template will not have the actual value of the password, but rather "*****". If you want the template to configure the passwords, you will need to edit the template so that the password fields have the actual values.
  4. Click Apply or OK to set the configuration on the device. (Apply will leave the Element Configuration window open when the set is complete; OK will close the window.) A Configuration Progress window opens, showing you the status of the configuration set. You can double-click on a row in the Configuration Progress window to see further details. Click OK to close the window.
