Access Points

This page displays the status of all EnSky access points that your Controller is currently managing as well as all the EnSky access points in the network that the Controller has discovered. Use this page to add EnSky access points to your EWS switch’s Controller access point list.
The EWS switch can manage supported EnSky Series access points. For the discovery procedure to succeed, the EWS switch and the EnSky access point must be connected in the same network. The EWS switch can discover supported EnSky access points with any IP address and Subnet settings.
EnSky access points can either be configured individually or configured as a group.
To manage an access point individually, click on the Device Name field of the access point you wish to configure, and you will be directed to a screen where you can configure settings for the access point.
To manage access points as a group, go to Device Management > AP Groups to create an AP group and add members into the group. Click on the Group field of the AP you wish to configure, and you will be directed to a screen where you can configure settings for the AP group.
Group settings can be overridden by individual AP settings. For example, if you want to set the transmit power to a lower setting for only a few specific APs, leave the Transmit Power at Auto in the Wireless Radio Settings of the AP Group, then click on the Device Name field of the access point (which is already in a group) you wish to configure and you will be directed to a screen where you can configure override settings for the selected access point.
This indicates the current status of the managed access point.
