Managing the IoT Controller Settings for an AP

You can configure custom IoT Controller settings for an individual access point or inherit the AP Group-level or venue-level settings.

Complete the following steps to configure the custom IoT Controller settings for an AP.

  1. On the navigation bar, click Wi-Fi > Access Points > AP List.
    The Access Points page is displayed.
  2. Click the name of the AP for which you want to customize the IoT settings, then on the Overview page, click Configure. Alternatively, click the check box for the specific AP name, then click Edit.
    The AP configuration page is displayed, defaulting to the General tab view.
  3. Select the Network Control tab.
  4. From the left mini navigation bar, click the IoT Controller sub-tab.
  5. In the IoT Controller settings the GUI indicates whether the AP is using the venue settings or custom settings
    Note: By default, the venue-level settings are applied.
  6. Click Customize settings to override the settings.
  7. In the IoT Controller settings section of the AP configuration, you see two radio-button options:
    • Use inherited settings from AP Group: Select this option if you want the AP to use the IoT controller configuration defined at the AP group level. If the AP is not tied to any AP group you will get an option Use inherited settings from Venue that allows you to use the IoT controller configuration defined at the venue level.
    • Customize settings: Select this option if you want the AP to use the IoT controller configuration defined at the AP group level.
  8. Click Associate IoT Controller.
    The Associate IoT Controller sidebar appears, displaying a list of available IoT Controllers.
  9. Select an IoT Controller from the Associate IoT Controller list. You can also click the Add IoT Controller option at the top-right corner to add a new IoT Controller if it is not listed. Refer to Adding a RUCKUS IoT Controller for more details. Click Apply. Click Apply to apply the IoT Controller custom setting.

    A message appears at the bottom right of the screen to indicate whether the IoT Controller was successfully associated or not.
