12.0 AP Controller Tab
APs running the Netwave OpenWRT firmware can be managed by an Access Point Controller
(APc). The APc sends and receives information from Comnet OpenWRT APs using the SNMPv3
protocol.
12.1 Getting Started with Managing APs using the APc
For each AP, please perform the following steps in the AP's web page:
1. Set the APc IP address.
2. Set the AP's IP address, default gateway, and custom DNS server.
» The web page may not jump automatically to the new IP address if the subnet changed, so
please re-enter the new IP address in the browser.
» Click on the network tab to check that the L2TP is communicating packets with the APc.
3. Set the hostname of the AP to better identify it.
The following describes the “APController” top-level tab.
When using the APc for the first time, you only need to set the IP address of the APc. This has to
be done in the AP's configuration web page itself. All other settings should remain as the default
values for now.
Please always click “Save & Apply”. Do not click “Save”. This is to apply the settings immediately.
12.2 L2TPv3 Settings
The following are the settings for the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3).
Remote Server Configures the IP address of the APc e.g. 192.168.3.178.
Chap-username Sets the username for the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
Chap-secret Sets the password for the Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
