Relocate AP

Operation Reference > Miscellaneous Settings > Relocate AP

To relocate a working wireless AP, due to a change in the wireless network application or installation environment, you will need to delete the AP's device icon from the network map. This action deletes the old settings from Vista Manager EX. Then, after the AP has been relocated, you will need to connect it anew on the network map.

Note

If this procedure is omitted, the Vista Manager EX may not correctly display the management status of the AP.

1. Remove the target AP and verify that it appears down on the Vista Manager EX network map.
   
2. Delete the device icon and custom link for the removed AP.
   Select the device icon of the appropriate AP on the network map and click the "Delete" button from the side panel.
   

   Note

   Since the AWC Plug-in still has the registration information of the wireless AP, even if the icon is deleted, it will reappear as a down state icon on the network map a few seconds later.

3. If the AP was a guest node, disable the guest node configuration (switchport atmf-guestlink) on the switch to which it was originally connected
   
4. On the "AP Setting" screen of the AWC Plug-in, change "Use AMF for AP Provisioning" accordingly.
   
   • If you plan to use the AP as a non-guest node after relocation, disable "Use AMFfor AP Provisioning".
     
   • If you plan to use the AP as a guest node after relocation, enable "Use AMFfor AP Provisioning".
     
5. If the AP was a guest node, perform the guest node configuration (switchport atmf-guestlink) on the switch to which it will be connected thereafter.
   
6. Connect the AP to the switch in the new location.
   
7. (In the case the AP is not a guest node) create a custom link on the Vista Manager EX network map.
