ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 
Basic and Advanced Setting Concepts
You can deploy the wireless controller in a small wireless network with 10 access points or in 
a large wireless network with up to 150 access points. Small networks require a basic 
configuration, but large networks can become complex and require you to configure the 
advanced features of the wireless controller.
Depending on your network configuration, use basic settings or advanced settings to manage 
your access points:
Basic settings for a typical network. The basic settings work with most common 
network configurations. For example, all access points on the WLAN are for the same 
organization or business and therefore adhere to the same policies and use a few service 
set identifiers (SSIDs, or network names).
Advanced settings for access point profile groups. If you have a large wireless 
network, or if separate networks share a single WLAN, use the advanced settings to set 
up multiple access point profile groups with multiple security profiles (SSIDs with 
associated security settings). For example, a shopping mall might need several access 
point profile groups if several businesses share a WLAN but each business has its own 
network. Larger networks could require multiple access point profile groups to allow 
different policies per building or department. The access points could have different 
security profiles per building and department, for example, one for guests, one for 
management, and one for sales.
Note:
Access point profile groups are also referred to as just profile groups. 
Profiles, security profiles, and SSIDs (that is, SSIDs with associated 
security settings) are terms that are interchangeable.
To accommodate all types of networks, almost all configuration menus of the web 
management interface are divided into basic and advanced submenus. The following figure 
shows an example of the Configuration > Security > Basic submenu on the left and the 
Configuration > Security > Advanced submenu on the right:
