26 AP6522 Access Point
10. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one access point is deployed, a single access point can
function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 access points can be connected to, and managed by, a
single Virtual Controller AP of the same AP6522 model.
• Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this access point as an autonomous fat access point. A
Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted by a controller.
• Adopted to Controller - Select this option when deploying the access point as a controller managed
(Dependent mode) access point. Selecting this option closes the Initial AP Setup Wizard. An adopted
access point obtains its configuration from a profile stored on its managing controller. Any manual
configuration changes are overwritten by the controller upon reboot.
Select the Automatic controller discovery option to enable the access point to be discovered and
adopted using layer 2 settings. If preferring layer 3 adoption, select the Static Controller
Configuration option, and define the addresses of the preferred controllers. If using the static method,
NOTE If designating the access point as a Standalone AP, Motorola Solutions recommends
the access point’s UI be used exclusively to define its device configuration, and not
the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to define more than one profile and the UI does
not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage profiles
without an administrator encountering problems.
