Access Points are radio broadcast devices and as such are 
subject to governmental regulation. Network administrators 
responsible for the configuration and operation of Access Points 
must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, 
Access Points must use channel assignment and antenna gain 
settings (for detachable antennas) appropriate to the location in 
which the Access Point will be used. Alcatel Networks, in 
compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the 
Alcatel AP70 such that only authorized network administrators 
can change these settings. Once an administrator changes the 
antenna gain configuration, the Alcatel software automatically 
adjusts the power level to the appropriate setting. For more 
information on Access Point configuration, refer to the AOS-W 
User Guide. For information on setting the antenna gain, see 

.

Provisioning provides the AP with initial network settings that 
allow it to locate the host Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. The 
following provisioning methods (listed in the order of preference 
recommended by Alcatel Networks) are available:

z

Plug and Play—Also known as the Alcatel Discovery Protocol. 
This is the easiest method for AP provisioning. With plug and 
play, Alcatel APs can be connected to the network and 
brought into operation automatically. Although plug and play 
requires no manual intervention for the APs, this method does 
require specific services to be configured on your network in 
advance.

z

AP Provisioning—Using this AP programming mode, AP con-
figuration parameters are defined on the Wireless LAN switch 
(using the CLI or Web interface) and then uploaded to the APs.

This method can be used for adding Alcatel APs to a highly 
customized network, or greatly simplified for the most common 
provisioning.
