MANAGED ACCESS POINT
You can use a D-Link Wireless Switch to manage one or more access points on your network. To allow a switch to manage
the AP the switch and AP must discover each other. The commands in Table 9 show how to change the AP mode from
Standalone to Managed and how to configure the IP address of a D-Link Wireless Switch so that the AP can discover it. You
can configure a pass phrase on the AP and on the switch so that only authenticated APs can associate with the switch.
