Advanced Profile Configuration

A profile's advanced configuration is comprised of MINT protocol configuration, NAS identifier and port ID attributes. MINT provides secure profile communications at the transport layer. Using MINT, a device can be configured to only communicate with other authorized (MINT enabled) devices. Therefore, MINT is well designed for profile support, wherein a group of controller, service platform or access point managed devices share the same configuration attributes.

Refer to the advanced profile's Miscellaneous menu to set the profile's NAS configuration. The profile database on the RADIUS server consists of user profiles for each connected NAS (network access server) port.

The advanced configuration menu also includes antenna-id configuration for the AP510 and AP560 profiles. This parameter is specific to the AP510e and AP560h model access points. For the AP510e and/or AP560h device profiles, the antenna-id configuration is mandatory to enable the access point radios.

To set a profile's advanced configuration:

  1. Go to Configuration → Profiles → Manage Profiles .

    Select a target profile from those displayed on the screen.

  2. Select Advanced and expand the menu item.

    The following sub menu items are available as advanced profile configuration options:
