Set the AP-6511
Access Point Type.
The following options are available:
•
Controller AP
- When more than one AP-6511 is deployed, a single AP-6511 can function
as a Controller AP to manage Dependent mode AP-6511s. Up to 24 Dependant APs can
be connected to a Controller AP.
•
Standalone AP
- Select this option to deploy this AP-6511 as an autonomous Access
Point.
•
Dependent AP
- Select this option when deploying the AP-6511 as a Controller AP
managed Access Point. Selecting this option closes the Initial Setup Wizard. A
Dependant AP obtains its configuration from a profile stored on the Controller AP. Any
manual configuration changes on a Dependant AP are overwritten by the Controller AP
upon reboot. A Dependent AP requires a Controller AP in the network.
