Discovery Wizard
If all APs were not discovered, run the Discovery Wizard.
Manual Additions
You will be asked to choose between two options:
Option 1 - Add new factory-defaulted APs: Add new factory defaulted AP. This option should be chosen during staging the
process. Here the controller and APs are going to be taken out of the box and congured for de-
ployment.
Option 2 - Add existing installed APs: Add existing installed APs. This option should be chosen in scenarios where APs are al-
ready deployed and running, and need to be attached to a controller. Depending upon the network
topology, you may need to provide the controller with a range of IP addresses to search during
discovery.
When the process nishes, you will be presented with a list of APs, their model numbers, their IP and their Ethernet MAC ad-
dresses. You can then choose the APs to be managed under this controller. Once this is done, the AP will be upgraded to the
controller-based image.
