About Dynamic WLAN Profiles

This section contains information about Dynamic Wireless LAN profiles implementations for environments that requires more than one WLAN configuration.

Dynamic Wireless LAN profiles are intended for campus environments where the network administrator plans to deploy multiple WLAN configurations for different physical locations. This feature will permit the differing WLAN configurations to be provisioned in the B3000n where the badge is able to 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 when a previous WLAN configuration is disabled. This feature also benefits use cases where a facility’s Wi-Fi 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 in that B3000n badges loses connectivity to an associated SSID before a scan for the new profile is initiated. It is intended for use cases 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.
