DESCRIPTION
Select this to manage the NWA using its own web configurator, neither managing nor
managed by other devices.
Select this to have the NWA managed by an AP controller on your network. When you
do this, the NWA can be configured ONLY by the AP controller.
Note: If you want to return the NWA to standalone AP mode, you must check the AP
controller for the NWA's IP address and use FTP to upload firmware for
standalone AP mode.
Select this option to use DHCP option 138 (CAPWAP Access Controller addresses) to get
the AP controller's IP address.
Select this option and enter the IP address of the AP controller manually.
Specify the primary and secondary IP address of the AP controller to which the NWA
connects.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NWA.
If you change the mode in this screen, the NWA restarts. Wait a short while before you
attempt to log in again. If you changed the mode to Managed AP, the AP controller
uploads the firmware package for managed AP mode to the NWA and you cannot log in
as the web configurator is disabled; you must manage the NWA through the AP
controller on your network.
Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
