Choose the controller type.

Select 9800 or 5520 so the generated rename and reset commands match the controller family.

2
Load current AP names.

Paste names, import a CSV, or extract names from show ap summary output.

3
Apply a rename template.

Use one or more # characters where the sequence number should appear.

Edit and generate.

Adjust individual rows, optionally add controller assignments, then generate the final script.
