Configure Thread Profile Settings

Before you begin, configure a network policy. See Add a Network Policy.

Use this procedure to configure an AP5010/AP5010U to function as a Backbone Border Router in a Thread network.

Go to Configure > Common Objects > Policy > IoT Profiles.
Select .

Configure Thread parameters as described in Thread Profile Settings.

Table 1. Thread Profile Settings
Parameter	Description
Name	Enter a Name for the profile.
Function	The default is Thread.
Application	The default is Thread Gateway.
Network Name	Enter a Network Name for the Thread network of an AP. Each AP participates in a Thread network identified with the PAN ID and EXT PAN ID configured for the Thread Profile.
Network Key	Enter the Network Key used to encrypt communication between devices in a Thread network.
PAN ID	The PAN ID (Personal Area Network Identifier) identifies the Thread network of the AP. Enter a 16-bit value for use in RF data transmissions between devices in a Thread network.
EXT PAN ID	Enter a 64-bit value for use in RF data transmissions between devices in a Thread network. The EXT PAN ID must be unique. It is used for a more specific network identification.
Channel	Choose an IEEE 802.15.4 AP Channel number from the drop-down list (11-26). The default is channel 15. Note: Thread channel 25 is only supported if the country supports IEEE 802.11 channels 12, 13, or 14. Thread channel 26 is only supported if the country supports IEEE 802.11 channels 13 or 14.
Default User Profile	Set the default VLAN user profile. Select an existing user profile to associate with this VLAN or create a new profile. To create a new user profile, see Add a User Profile. Note: Currently, only the VLAN of the associated User Profile is configured by the IoT profile.
Enable NAT64	Enable NAT64 is selected by default, allowing an AP to perform IPv6 to IPv4 translations between the Thread and backbone networks.

Select Save to save the configured Thread profile settings, or select Cancel to abort configuration.
Optionally, select Customize to Configure the Thread Commissioner.

Proceed to Configure Wireless Interfaces for an AP Template to enable the AP's Thread IoT0 radio interface.

You can override the AP Template IoT0 radio interface settings by configuring the settings under Manage > Devices > Configure > Interface Settings > Wireless Interfaces > IoT0.
