Disabling the
Controller Client
This procedure explains how to disable the controller client and return the
device to the stand-alone mode.
Note
Disabling the controller client may disrupt the operations of your
network because it requires interrupting the communications link
between the access point and controller. To minimize the disruption
to your network users, you should only perform this procedure
during periods of low network activity, such as during non-business
hours.
Before you can disable the controller client, the communications link
between the access point and the controller has to be interrupted. This is
because the access point does not allow you to manage it with a web
browser or SNMP while it has a link to the controller. Here are two ways to
interrupt the link between the device and controller:

If the access point is the root device, disconnect the Ethernet cable
from the LAN port.
 If the access point is a satellite unit, move it onto a network that
does not have a root device.
After you have interrupted the link between the access point and
controller, you should be able to establish a web browser management
session with the device and disable the client.
To disable management of the access point with the AT-UWC product,
perform the following procedure:
1. From the Manage pull-down menu, select Managed Access Point
Settings. This displays the window in Figure 28 on page 89.
2. Click the Disabled dialog circle for the Managed AP Administrative
Mode option.
3. Click the Update button to activate and save your changes on the
access point.
The access unit now operates as a stand-alone unit.
