Software Configuration

You can manage the EAPs via EAP Controller or in Cluster mode.
Via EAP Controller
Note: The IP address of the management host must be reachable for the EAPs in the network. In this example, the
management host is in the same LAN as the EAPs.
Step 1: Installing the EAP Controller
On the management host, download the EAP Controller installation file from the product
support page at www.tp-link.com. Run the file and follow the wizard to install the EAP
Controller.
Step 2: Configuring the EAP Controller
Launch the EAP Controller and follow the configuration wizard to create a primary wireless
network. After the wizard is finished, a login screen will appear. Enter the admin name and
password you created and click Sign In.
Step 3: Adopting the EAP devices
Adopt the EAP devices in the Controller management interface to change their status from
Pending to Connected.
For More Configurations
You can now manage your wireless network and view network statistics using the EAP
Controller. Please refer to the EAP Controller User Guide to learn more information about
configuring and using the Controller software.
Via Cluster Mode
Note:
1. The EAPs forming a cluster must be of the same model and in the same LAN.
2. EAPs with the same cluster name will form a cluster.
3. The management host must be in the same LAN with the EAPs.
Step 1: Logging into the EAP
On the management host, open a browser and type the IP address (assigned by the DHCP
server) of the EAP in the address field, and press the Enter key. Fill in admin (all lowercase) for
both username and password to login.
Step 2: Choosing the Work Mode
Choose the work mode as Cluster in the drop-down box, and the EAP will reboot and switch
to Cluster mode. The EAPs with the same cluster name will form a cluster and one of them
will be elected as the Master EAP automatically.
Step 3: Managing the EAPs
RESET ETHERNET POWER
On the management host, visit any EAP's IP address and you will be redirected to the Master
EAP's web management page, where you can manage each EAP in the cluster.
For More Configurations
You can now manage your wireless network and view network statistics in cluster mode.
Please refer to the EAP User Guide for more information about Cluster mode.
