4.3.2 AP Discovery

Use this function to detect and manage all of the APs in the network segments. Note that WHG301 can only manage
APs that are connected to its LAN ports. Therefore, the AP discovery function is for adding locally connected APs to
its management list. The administrator must know the local IP addresses of the APs he/she wishes to discover.
