3.6 How to Configure Management Modes

This example shows you how to configure the NWA’s controller AP and managed

AP modes.

Note: If you are using several NWA models in your network including an NWA-3166,

you should use the NWA-3166 as the Controller AP.

3.6.1 Scenario

In this example, you are the administrator of a company network wherein a group

of users need stable wireless connection. These users are employees who move

around the company building a lot, yet need to connect to network resources at

various times of the day.

Currently you have 4 NWA standalone APs (A, B, C and D) in each floor of the 4-

storey company building. Though the current setup works, it takes a lot of your

time to edit profiles in the APs because of their location. You want to convert one

of your NWA to a controller AP (A) which will allow you to manage all 4 NWA APs

using the Web Configurator of this newly transformed NWA controller AP.

Additionally, you want a backup for this controller AP. You add another NWA (E) in

the first floor of the building, which you will then set as a secondary controller AP.
