Managing Access Points and Clusters
The D-Link DWL-2210AP shows current basic configuration settings for clustered access
points (location, IP address, MAC address, status, and availability) and provides a way
of navigating to the full configuration for specific APs if they are cluster members.
Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster do not show
up in this listing.To configure standalone access points, you must discover (via Kickstart)
or know the IP address of the access point and by using its IP address in a URL (http://
IPAddressOfAccessPoint).
The D-Link DWL-2210AP is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration changes. If
you have a network that includes multiple access points, and more than one administrator is
logged on to the Administration Web pages and making changes to the configuration, all access
points in the cluster will stay in synch but there is no guarantee that all configuration changes
specified by multiple users will be applied.
