DESCRIPTION
Select this to manage other APs (in Managed AP mode) via this
NWA. As of writing, the NWA can manage other ZyXEL APs only.
When you select this and click Apply, you are logged out of the
Web Configurator and have to log in again. The screens vary from
the default standalone mode to include the controller AP menus.
Select this to manage the NWA using its own web configurator,
neither managing nor managed by other devices.
Select this to have the NWA managed by another NWA on your
network.
When you do this, the NWA can be configured ONLY by the
management AP.
If you do not have an AP controller on your network and want to
return the NWA to standalone mode, you must use its physical
RESET button (NWA-3500 only). All settings are returned to their
default values.
Note: When you set the NWA to Managed AP mode, it
becomes a DHCP client. To discover its new IP
address, check the DHCP server on your network. If
your network has no DHCP server, the NWA's IP
address remains the same. You can also check the
Controller > AP Lists screen of the AP controller on
your network.
Check this is you want to send a request (to be managed) to any
AP controller within broadcast range.
