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.
3.6.4 Configure Your NWA in Controller AP Mode
The NWA is set to
Standalone AP
mode by default. After you have made sure
you have the correct configuration (see
) in the NWAs (
A
and
E
) of the 1st floor, you need to set both of them to controller AP mode, one
will serve as your main controller while the other works as your backup.
Note: If your
NWA
is in controller AP mode, it serves as an access point for other APs
in managed mode as well as for wireless clients in the network. That is, it still
functions like a regular access point on top of being a controller AP. If you
enable a SSID profile for it, the controller AP can still appear in the list of
available wireless networks for wireless clients. However in case you have both
primary and secondary controller APs in the network, the secondary controller
AP’s WLAN radio is turned off as long as the primary controller AP is turned on.
