Relocate AP

Operation Reference > Miscellaneous Settings > Relocate AP

If you move an active AP because of a change in the wireless network application or installation environment, delete the AP's icon from the map. This will delete the old settings from Vista Manager EX. Then add the AP to the map again.

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