Setting up a Permanent Spectrum Dell AP Group
If you have multiple supported Dell Networking W-Series APs in multiple controllers that you want to run in Spectrum
mode over the long run, you create a special Dell Networking W AP group and set up a profile that is set to spectrum-
mode and references the default Spectrum profile. Set up more than one profile if you want to utilize both radio bands
in Spectrum mode.
If you use an 802.11a or 802.11g radio profile to create a group of spectrum monitors, all APs in any AP group
referencing that radio profile will be set to spectrum mode. Therefore, best practices are to create a new 802.11a or
802.11g radio profile just for spectrum monitors.
If Use Global Dell Networking W Configuration is enabled in AMP Setup > General, create the configuration below,
then go to the controller group's Controller Config page and select the newly created Dell Networking W AP Group.
Perform these steps to set the AP group to use the default Spectrum profile settings:
1. On the Groups > Controller Config page, click the Add New Dell Group button.
2. Give the new Group a name (such as Spectrum APs), and select the plus sign next to the 802.11a Radio Profile field
to create a new radio profile.
3. Enter a name under the General Settings section of Profiles > RF > 802.11a/g Radio.
4. In the Other Settings section, change the Mode field from ap-mode to spectrum-mode, as illustrated in Figure 110,
and then select Save.
