How to configure Access Point in LAPM
Management of access points are always of vital importance for a network administrator. Thus 4ipnet
delivers a simple, straightforward set of management tools to help you achieve it. Generally, we suggest a
centralized network with a controller in charge of access points both on the WAN side and the LAN side.
We call the WAN-side AP management ‘Wide Area AP Management,’ due to its scalability across the
Internet or intranet, and the LAN-side AP management ‘Local Area AP Management.’ Below illustrates the
concept of these two types of management.

The Branch Office
The central Office

Area AP management
4ipnet WLAN controller models have different manageability with 4ipnet access points, i.e., admin should
make sure what AP models your WLAN controller supports.
This chapter further explores how a wireless network environment can be set up in terms of AP
management, explaining the aspects such AP discovery & Adding, general AP settings, and so on. It is
noteworthy that this section only deals with a clear setting process of various common AP management
settings, not advanced ones, for instance, “rogue AP detection” or “AP load balancing.” The higher-level
applications are introduced in the reference guide.
