Configure Device Settings

Applies To: Wi-Fi Cloud-managed Access Points (AP125, AP225W, AP325, AP327X, AP420)

You can configure device-related settings such as AP background scan modes, WIPS settings, Wi-Fi radios, Bluetooth scanning, and LAN port settings that are applied to your APs.

Device settings apply to all radios of an AP. Tri-radio APs (AP225W, AP325, and AP420) use two radios for 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi communications, and the third radio is a dedicated WIPS sensor.

Dual-radio APs can operate as a Wi-Fi access point on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios, or as dedicated WIPS sensor where both radios are dedicated to WIPS scanning.

If you configure a tri-radio AP as a dedicated WIPS sensor, the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios will be dedicated to WIPS scanning, while the third radio is disabled.

Device settings applied to APs in a location are automatically inherited by location subfolders. You can customize the device settings of a subfolder location so that they are different from the inherited settings, or you can use AP Groups to apply device settings to APs in separate location folders.
