The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 10 Management Mode

LABEL DESCRIPTION

AP Controller Select this option to have the NWA act as a managing device for

other NWAs on your network.

Standalone AP Select this to manage the NWA using its own web configurator,

neither managing nor managed by other devices.

Managed AP Select this to have the NWA managed by another NWA on your

network.

When you do this, the NWA can be configured ONLY by the

management AP. If you do not have an AP controller on your

network and want to return the NWA to standalone mode, you

must use its physical RESET button. All settings are returned to

their default values.

Options are:

• Auto AP Controller IP - Select this option to have the NWA

issue a request to be managed by any available NWA-based

AP controller within its broadcast radius.

• Manual AP Controller IP - Select this option if you know the

IP address of the AP controller that you want to manage your

NWA. You can assign a primary and secondary controller

IP. At the very least, you need a primary IP.

When you set the NWA to Managed AP mode, it becomes a DHCP

client. To discover its new IP address, check the DHCP server on

your network. If your network has no DHCP server, the NWA’s IP

address remains the same. You can also check the Controller >

AP Lists screen of the AP controller on your network.
