Determine The Management Method - TP-Link Omada EAP773 User Manual

1.1 Determine the Management Method

Before building your network, choose a proper method to manage your EAPs. You have
the following two options:
■ Controller Mode
If you want to manage a large-scale network centrally, choose Controller Mode. In
Controller Mode, you can configure and monitor mass EAPs, switches, and gateways
via Omada SDN Controller. For detailed instructions, go to the
Controller and download the User Guide.
■ Standalone Mode
If you want to manage only a few EAPs, choose Standalone Mode. In Standalone Mode,
you can singly configure and monitor your EAPs via Omada APP or a web browser, and
each EAP has its own management page.
This chapter introduces how to start configuring the EAP in Standalone Mode.

Note:
• Standalone Mode is inaccessible while the EAP is managed by a controller. To turn the EAP back
to Standalone Mode, you can forget the EAP on the controller or reset the EAP.
• To make your EAPs discovered by the controller, you need to configure
in certain scenarios.
