Controller-Managed Access Points
375
ProSAFE Wireless Controller
Overview
Except for the WAC740 and WN370 access points, all access points can function in either
standalone mode or controller-managed mode.
• Standalone mode. When an access point functions in standalone mode, the access
point’s provides a full web management interface that allows you to configure and
manage all features that the access point supports. For more information about
standalone mode, see the user manual for your access point. (Because the WAC740 and
WN370 access points do not function in standalone mode, NETGEAR does not provide
user manuals for these models.)
• Controller-managed mode. When an access point functions in controller-managed
mode, the access point provides a limited web management interface that allows you to
manage the following features only:
- DHCP client
- Access point IP address settings
- Wireless controller IP address
- Management VLAN
- Firmware
- Password
- Link aggregation (WAC740 access point only)
In addition, you can view the logs on the controller-managed access point. You can
convert a controller-managed access point to standalone mode by loading a standalone
firmware version on the controller-managed access point (this does not apply to the
WAC740 and RN370 access points).
The following sections describe the tasks that you can perform through the limited web
management interface of a controller-managed access point:
• Change IP Address and VLAN Settings on a Controller-Managed Access Point on
page 376
• Reenable the DHCP Client on a Controller-Managed Access Point on page 377
• Upgrade or Change Firmware on a Controller-Managed Access Point on page 378
• Change the Password on an Access Point on page 383
• Save and View the Logs on a Controller-Managed Access Point on page 381
• Enable Link Aggregation on a WAC740 Access Point on page 382
• Convert an Access Point From Controller-Managed to Standalone on page 385
