Standalone APs are managed individually, and not by using a D-Link Unified Switch. By including standalone APs in the
Valid AP database and specifying their expected settings, you can help ensure that only legitimate APs are on your network.
If any of the expected settings you configure for the standalone AP do not match the settings detected through the RF scan,
and the Standalone AP with unexpected configuration test is enabled on the WLAN > Administration > Advanced
Configuration > WIDS Security page, the standalone AP is listed as a Rogue on the WLAN > Monitoring > Access Point
> Rogue/RF Scan page.
If you select Standalone from the Managed Mode menu on the Valid Access Point Configuration page, the screen
refreshes, and additional fields appear. The following table describes the additional information you can include about the
standalone APs you add to the Valid AP database.

In order to help identify AP and Wireless Client adapter manufacturers detected in the wireless network, the wireless switch
contains a database of registered Organizationally Unique Identifiers (OUIs). This is a read-only list with over 10,000
registrations. From the Local OUI Database Summary page, you can enter up to 64 user-defined OUIs. The local list is
searched first, so the same OUI can be located in the local list as well as the read-only list.

Table 267: Valid AP Configuration (Cont.)
Description
The power level affects how far an AP broadcasts its RF signal. If the power level is too low,
wireless clients will not detect the signal or experience poor WLAN performance. If the power
level is too high, the RF signal might interfere with other APs within range.
The default value of 0 indicates that the AP uses the power level set in the AP profile.
Note: The power level you set for an AP in the valid AP database is fixed and takes
precedence over any automatic power adjustments done by the AP or the switch.

Table 268: Valid AP Configuration (Standalone Mode)

Description
Enter the SSID that identifies the wireless network on the standalone AP.
Select the channel that the standalone AP uses. If the AP is configured to automatically select
a channel, or if you do not want to specify a channel, select Any.
Standalone APs can use a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link to communicate with each
other without wires. The menu contains the following options:
• Bridge: Select this option if the standalone AP you add to the Valid AP database is
configured to use one or more WDS links.
• Normal: Select this option if the standalone AP is not configured to use any WDS links.
• Any: Select this option if the standalone AP might use a WDS link.
Select the option to specify the type of security the AP uses:
• Any—Any security mode
• Open—No security
• WEP—Static WEP or WEP 802.1X
• WPA/WAP2—WPA and/or WPA2 (Personal or Enterprise)
If the standalone AP is allowed on the wired network, select Allowed. If the AP is not permitted
on the wired network, select Not Allowed .
