6.2 The Controller with Multiple Types of APs
Besides letting users being connected to the Controller via wired Ethernet cable, you can connect AP to the
Controller to extent the network access by wireless. The Controller can manager multiple type of AP, such as,
EAP100, EAP200, EAP300, EAP700, OWL400, OWL410, OWL500 and OWL510. Almost all the settings of these
Local Area APs can be configured from the Controller’s WMI.
This is because apart from personal or home usage, most other environment typically needs more than one AP to
service a lot of clients; places like franchised hotspots, multiple offices, school campuses etc. where in many of
these environments it is required to cover both indoor and outdoor areas. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to
manage multiple types of APs (Indoor and Outdoor) at the same time.
View AP Overview, go to: Access Points >>Enter Local Area AP Management >> Overview.
In the Overview page, all of the supported AP type will be listed here.
Because the Controller can manage many different models of access points, the easiest way to configure a lot of
APs is by AP Template. You can configure one template for each AP model, and then apply this template to many
managed APs at once.
