6.4 AC (AP Controller) Discovery
This section discusses how to configure the NWA/WAC’s AC (AP Controller) Discovery settings. You can
have the NWA/WAC managed by an AP controller on your network. When you do this, the NWA/WAC
can be configured ONLY by the AP controller. See Section 6.1.1 on page 75 for more information on
management mode and AP Controller.
Note: The AC (AP Controller) Discovery settings are not available in all NWA/WACs. See
Section 1.1 on page 13 for more information.
If you want to return the NWA/WAC to standalone AP mode, you can do one of the two following
options:
• Press the Reset button.
• Check the AP controller for the NWA/WAC’s IP address and use FTP to upload the default
configuration file to the NWA/WAC. You can get the configuration file at conf/system-default.conf.
You must reboot the device after uploading the configuration file.
To access the Controller Discover screen, click Configuration > Network > AC Discovery.

example), you can select an entry and click Add to create a new entry after the selected
entry.

entry’s settings. In some tables you can just click a table entry and edit it directly in the

you have not yet applied.

remove it before doing so.
