Discovery Results

The effectiveness of the discovery feature depends in part on how the access points on your LAN
are set up. If each access point is configured with a unique IP address and is running current
firmware, then discovery is usually simple.
If the discovery results are not what you expect, check the following:
• Access points already managed by the Wireless Management System will not be shown in the
discovery list.
• If two or more access points still have their factory default settings, their IP addresses might be
identical. If this is the case, the Wireless Management System will discover one of these
access points. Add that access point, change its IP address, and then use discovery to find the
next access point.
