Chapter 3 Management Mode

300Mbps Wireless N Wall-Plate Access Point EAP115-Wall can either work under the
control of the EAP Controller software or work independently as a standalone access
point.
When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single
EAP in the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you
can centrally manage the mass EAPs simply in a web browser.
The Standalone mode applies to a relatively small-sized wireless network. EAPs in the
Standalone mode cannot be managed centrally by the EAP Controller software.

3.1 Standalone Mode

By default, the EAP works independently as a standalone access point. By entering the
IP address of the standalone EAP, you can log in to its web interface and perform
configurations.
The factory default IP address configuration of the EAP is DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol). Before you access the web interface of the EAP, please make
sure the DHCP server works properly. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server.
Follow the steps below to log in to the web interface of a standalone EAP.
1. Launch a web browser, enter the DHCP address in the address field and press the
Enter key.
2. Enter admin (all lowercase) for both username and password.

3.2 Managed Mode

The EAP will become a managed EAP once it is adopted via the EAP Controller software.
Users can manage the EAP via a web browser. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide
from our website at www.tp-link.com to know more about EAP Controller software.
