unique regulatory requirements.
9 Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one Access Point is deployed, a single Access
Point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 Access Points can be
connected to, and managed by, a single Virtual Controller AP of the same Access
Point type. These connected Access Points must be the same type as the Virtual
Controller AP.
• Standalone AP - Select this option to deploy this Access Point as an autonomous fat
Access Point. A Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted
by a controller.
Note
If wanting to adopt the Access Point to a controller or service platform, use the
controller or service platform's resident UI to connect to the Access Point,
provision its configuration and administrate the Access Point's configuration.
Note
If designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, its recommended the Access
Point's UI be used exclusively to define its device configuration, and not the CLI.
The CLI provides the ability to define more than one profile and the UI does not.
Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage profiles
without encountering problems.
10 Select the Country Code of the country where the Access Point is deployed. Selecting a
proper country is a critical task while configuring the Access Point, as it defines the
correct channels of operation and ensures compliance to the regulations of the selected
country. This field is only available for the Typical Setup Wizard.
