Takeover Feature - Grandstream Networks GWN76 Series User Manual

The failover mode has only read permission on the configuration and limited options, users still can reboot other slave Access
points in case it is needed.
Users also can press on « Switch to Master » button in order to set the failover slave as the new primary master of the
wireless network, once this is done they have full write permission control over the web GUI option as usual. Use that button
to switch to master and takeover the rest of the APs.
Important notes
If you click « Switch to Master », this would be become a non-revertible behavior. Failover Slave will become actual master and
the prior master cannot take back the control anymore.
When Failover Slave is switched to Master, you will use the Prior Master AP credentials: username: admin, and the admin
password.
Otherwise, when original master comes back online, then Failover Slave will become slave again to prior original Master.
