6.5.3 Setup
In this example, each of your NWA standalone AP mirror each other. They all have
the same SSID profiles stored. First you need to download the configuration file
from one of your NWAs for backup purposes. Refer to
for information on how to download the configuration file from your NWA.
In case there are various SSID profiles stored in each NWA standalone AP, the
administrator will have to copy each SSID profile to just one NWA (which will
serve as the NWA controller AP.)
Note: This tutorial covers only the
MGNT MODE
and
Controller
screens.
You will need to do the following steps to configure the management modes of
your NWAs.
1
Assign one NWA AP (
A
) as the controller AP for your wireless NWA AP network.
This will be your primary controller AP. Acquire another NWA with the same model
and firmware version as
A
, to serve as the secondary controller AP (
E
). Both
controller APs (
A
and
E
) are in the 1st floor of the building (recommended). The
NWA APs (
B
,
C
and
D
) from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors are going to be your
managed APs.
Note: The controllers need to have static IP addresses in the same network. Make
sure you set the IP addresses in the
IP
screen (see
• Configure the newly added NWA (
E
) in
Secondary Controller AP
mode.
• Configure the 1st floor NWA in
Primary Controller AP
(
A
) mode and enter the
IP address of your
Secondary Controller AP
(
E
) for synchronization.
2
Change the management mode of your 2nd, 3rd and 4th floor NWAs (
B
,
C
and
D
,
originally in default standalone mode) to
Managed AP
mode. You can also
manually enter the IP addresses of your primary and secondary NWA controller
APs.
3
Add the newly converted managed APs (
B
,
C
and
D
, from step 4) to the
Managed
Access Points List
of the NWA primary controller AP.
4
Check your settings and test the configuration. This example uses screens from G-
302 v3, a wireless client that will try to access one of the mananged APs, for this
section.
