• Use the command AccessDevices to get an Access Points Device ID
• Use the command ListPortProfile to get Profile ID
• Use the command GetWLanSettings to get SSID ID
• Use the command getNetworkConf to get network ID
• Use the command getRadiusUsers to get radious user ID
• See working examples in the examples folder
