About Dynamic WLAN Profiles

Dynamic Wireless LAN profiles are intended for campus environments where the network administrator plans to deploy multiple WLAN configurations for different physical locations.

You can configure various WLAN configurations to be provisioned in the B3000n where the badge can select the correct WLAN profile without requiring end-user intervention.

You can also use this feature during WLAN transitions or upgrades where B3000n badges are moved dynamically to a new WLAN configuration where a previous WLAN configuration is disabled. In locations where the Wi-Fi of a facility is extended to home offices or remote offices where a different WLAN configuration is required, B3000n badges can dynamically select the appropriate configuration.

Dynamic Wireless LAN implementations are intrusive because B3000n badges lose connectivity to an associated SSID before a scan for the new profile is initiated. It is used in situations where the B3000n is transported between locations during which it will lose connectivity. It is not intended for use inside a building where a rapid transition between SSIDs is desired.

An interruption and communication delay of 60 seconds or longer as the badge attempts to associate with a Wi-Fi network and transitions between multiple WLAN configurations is an expected behavior. You can enable up to 4 WLAN profiles in your environment.
