3. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one access points are deployed, a single access point can function as a Virtual
Controller AP. Up to 24 access points can be connected to, and managed by a single Virtual Controller AP. These
connected access points must be the same model as the Virtual Controller AP. For more information, see
Virtual Controller
AP Mode on page 3-8 .
• Standalone AP - Select this option to deploy this access point as an autonomous access point. A standalone AP is not
managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted by a RFS series wireless controller. For more information, see Standalone
Mode on page 3-9 .
NOTE: If designating the access point as a Standalone AP, Motorola Solutions
recommends the access point’s UI be used exclusively to define its device configuration,
and not the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to define more than one profile and the UI
does not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage
profiles without an administrator encountering problems.
