How do I document WLAN (access points)?

Requires Basic

Quick answer

Section titled “Quick answer”

In the Network module, switch to the WLAN tab and add an access point. Required are a name and the SSID. Optionally, you can add a location, a MAC address, the linked IP address, and a WLAN group (e.g. for mesh setups).

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”

Included in all plans from Basic onward.

Instructions

Section titled “Instructions”

  1. Open the “WLAN” tab. Choose Network, then the WLAN tab. Click Add.

    The 'WLAN' tab — this is where you document access points and mesh groups.

  2. Fill in the access point.

    • Name — e.g. “AP-Ground-Floor-Reception”
    • SSID — the broadcast network name, e.g. “TougeTech-Corp”
    • Location (optional) — e.g. “Ground floor, reception”
    • MAC address (optional)
    • IP address (optional) — chosen from your recorded IP addresses
    • WLAN group (optional) — for mesh networks

    For a mesh network, first create a WLAN group and set the Mesh flag on it.

  3. Save. The access point appears in the list, sorted by name.

What happens behind the scenes?

Section titled “What happens behind the scenes?”
  • Tenant assignment: The access point and the WLAN group belong to your current tenant.
  • Links: If an access point references an IP address or a WLAN group and that record is deleted, Notory sets the respective link to null (SET NULL) — the access point is retained.
  • Mesh: The Mesh flag is a property of the WLAN group, not of the individual access point — several access points in the same mesh group together form a mesh network.
  • Documentation only: Notory doesn’t configure any devices; the entries document your WLAN landscape only.
