If you do not have an ecCLOUD account, tap “I want to register” and set
up an account. Create a cloud and site before confirming the regulatory
country. After tapping “Next,” the AP is then automatically registered for
cloud management.
After you tap “Save,” wait about five minutes for the cloud controller to
configure the AP.
Note:
Refer to the Edgecore ecCLOUD Controller User Manual for more
information on setting up and configuring APs through ecCLOUD.
Mesh AP
Configuration
The first AP can be managed either through ecCLOUD or in stand-alone mode. If a
second AP needs to establish a mesh connection with the first AP, follow these steps:
1. Connect the LAN port of the first AP (Mesh Portal Point) to the LAN port of the
second AP (Mesh Access Point), which then allows the second AP to synchronize
its configuration with the first AP.
2. After unplugging the LAN port, the mesh connection will be established
automatically.
Main Menu
The web interface Main Menu provides access to all the configuration settings
available for the AP.
