Connection and Configuration
The initial connection of your access point to your network and the wireless controller is
described in the APX Quick Start Guide which was been shipped with your device or is
available under www.sophos.com/get-started-ap.
For the access point to communicate with Sophos Central servers the following ports will
need to be open on your firewall:
Ì 443 (HTTPS)
Ì 80 (HTTP)
Ì 123 (NTP)
After successful connection you can start your initial configuration.
