Discover and Pair Other GWN7610 Access Point
First, note that by default the GWN controller access point will automatically discover all APs connected to the
same LAN (broadcast domain), but starting from firmware 1.0.5.14 a new possibility has been added in order to
pair and provision remote APs using DHCP option 43 with master direction explained below.
Master Direction
In order to pair and manage access points located on remote networks, the admin needs to configure the IP
address of master AP on DHCP option 43 which will be send to the slave access point during booting stage and
allow the save/master connection to be established remotely. GWN7610 accepts option 224 encapsulated in
option 43, and the syntax is in TLV format. A simple example of DHCP 43 configuration would be:
224(Type)12(Length)10.157.0.234(Value) translated into Hex as e00c31302e3135372e302e323334
Scenario example: a company has two offices connected via VPN (master AP located on network 192.168.1.0/24
and slave AP located on remote network 192.168.2.0/2). On remote network the admin can set DHCP option 43
using GWN7000 router as following value: encap:43,224,”192.168.1.100”.
After that the slave AP will be listed on the master AP discovered devices and ready for paring and provisioning
process which is described on the next steps.
To Pair a GWN7610 slave access discovered by the GWN7610 master A, follow the steps below:
