Management
The AP controller for managing Pepwave APs can be enabled by checking this box. When
this option is enabled, the AP controller will wait for management connections originating
from APs over the LAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for captive portal
connections on TCP port 443. An extended DHCP option, CAPWAP Access Controller
addresses (field 138), will be added to the DHCP server. A local DNS record, AP
