Adding New AP Groups to an Existing ITS Configuration

As described in "Planning Your AP Groupings" on page 2-17, an AP Group allows for
logically associated Access Points within a clinical unit to be given a common set of
configurations. These configurations govern everything from AP to APC partnership
rules, RF Channel and Access Code usage and Alert Settings.
The AP Groups within the system should logically map to the Clinical Units that have
been established for the monitoring network and databases.
If additional components (APCs, etc.) are being added to the ITS infrastructure, then
make sure that they have already been added to the system prior to adding the new
AP groups.
Prior to beginning this procedure, ensure that you have the following information for
each new AP group to be added:
• AP Group Name
• AP Group type (Smart-hopping)
• Partnered APC
• Alert Destination
