4.1.4 Notes on CAPWAP

This section lists some additional features of ZyXEL's implementation of the
CAPWAP protocol.
• When the AP controller uses its internal RADIUS server, managed APs also use
the AP controller's authentication server to authenticate wireless clients.
• Only one AP controller can exist in any single broadcast domain.
• If a managed AP's link to the AP controller is broken, the managed AP continues
to use the wireless settings with which it was last provided.

4.2 The Management Mode Screen

Use this screen to configure the NWA as a CAPWAP controller AP or CAPWAP
