22 AP Controller
The AP controller acts as a centralized controller of Pepwave AP devices. With this feature, users can
customize and manage multiple APs from a single Pepwave router interface.
Each Pepwave router can control a limited number of routers without additional cost. To manage more, a Full Edition license
is required. Please contact your Authorized Reseller or the Peplink Sales Team for more information and pricing details.
To configure, navigate to the AP tab.

This menu is the first one that appears after clicking the AP tab. This screen can also be reached by
clicking AP>Wireless SSID. Note the appearance of this screen varies by model.
The AP controller for managing Pepwave APs can be enabled by checking this box. When this option is
enabled, the AP controller will wait for management connections originating from APs over the LAN

extended DHCP option, CAPWAP Access Controller addresses (field 138), will be added to the
DHCP server. A local DNS record, AP Controller, will be added to the local DNS proxy.
Access points to manage can be specified here. If Any is selected, the AP controller will manage any

AP that reports to it. If Approved List is selected, only APs with serial numbers listed in the provided
