AP Overrides
The AP Overrides component of Dell PowerConnect W Configuration allows you to define device-specific
settings for an AP device without having to remove that device from an existing Dell PowerConnect W AP Group
or create a new Dell PowerConnect W AP Group specifically for that device. The AP Overrides page is for custom
AP devices that otherwise comply with most settings in the Dell PowerConnect W AP Group in which it is
managed.
The AP Overrides page displays all AP overrides that are currently configured. These overrides also appear in the
navigation pane at left. The name of any override matches the AP device name.

the network. An AP is considered to be an interfering AP if it is seen in the RF environment
but is not connected to the wired network.
