CONFIGURE THE AP
The procedure for completing the Access
Point’s essential configuration depends on
whether you want it to be managed by either
AP controller or to operate as a standalone
Access Point. Refer to the section that is
relevant to your deployment:
•
Configuring for Management by AP
Controller
•
Configuring for Management by zCloud
•
Configuring for Standalone Operation
Configuring for Management by AP Controller
To configure the Access Point to be managed by
the AP controller, you must ensure that the APs
will be able to locate and connect to the
controller when powered on. Specifically, you
need to ensure the following.
When connected to the network, each AP is
assigned a valid IP address
APs are able to locate and connect the
controller.
The Access Point requires a unique IP address
(fixed IP or DHCP IP) on a network that has
connectivity to a controller. The DHCP server
can be an existing network server or a ZDC
controller configured as a DHCP server.

Once login, first assign a fixed IP address or
a DHCP IP to the AP under
Current IP
Setting

controller. Click Apply to take effect.
