9. For the WDS Managed Ethernet Port parameter, do one of the
following:

If you are configuring a satellite unit and the LAN port is connected
to a network device, click the Enabled dialog circle.
 If you are configuring a satellite unit and the LAN port is not
connected to a network device or the port is connected to a device
but is not to communicate with it, click the Disabled dialog circle.
This is the default setting.
10. If you are configuring a satellite unit, click the WDS Group Password
field and enter a password for WPA2 Personal authentication. Here
are the guidelines for the password:

You must assign the same password to all satellite access points
of a group.
 The password can be from 8 to 63 characters.
 It can consist of letters and numbers.
 It is case sensitive.
 The password may contain special characters, such as @ and #,
and spaces.
 You must enter the same password on the controller.
Leave this field blank if you are configuring the root access point: The
root device gets the password from the controller.
11. Click the Update button to activate your changes and save them in the
configuration file.
When you click the Update button, the access point attempts to contact
the controller if you enabled the controller agent. The mode of
communication depends on whether the access point is functioning as
the root device or a satellite node. A root access point communicates
with the controller through its LAN port, while a satellite unit
communicates with it over a wireless connection to the root access
point.
At this point, the access point queries your network for the controller
specified in the Controller IP Address 1 field of the window. If it
receives a response, it disables web browser and SNMP management
so that it can only be managed from the controller. If the access point
does not receive a response in five seconds, it queries the controller in
the next address field, and so forth. If it does not receive a response
from any of the controllers, it continues to operate as a stand-alone
unit.
