300Mbps Wireless N Access Point EAP110 and Wireless N Gigabit Access Point EAP120/EAP220
can either work under the control of the EAP Controller software or work independently as a
standalone access point.
When user establishes a large-scale wireless network, the management of every single AP in
the network is complex and complicated. With the EAP Controller software, you can centrally
manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.
The Standalone mode applies to a relatively small-sized wireless network. EAPs in the Standalone
mode cannot be managed centrally by the EAP Controller software.
3.1 Standalone Mode
By default, the EAP works independently as a standalone access point. By entering the IP
address of the standalone EAP, you can log in to its web interface and perform configurations.
3.2 Managed Mode
The EAP will become a managed AP once it is adopted via the EAP Controller software. Users
can manage the AP via a web browser. Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide to know more
about EAP Controller software.
3.3 Switch to Standalone Mode
The web interface of a specific EAP is not available once this EAP is adopted by the EAP
Controller. You can Forget the EAP via the EAP Controller to turn it back as a standalone AP.
Refer to the EAP Controller User Guide to learn more.
TIPS:
Proceed to the following chapters for information on using the EAP in standalone mode. EAP110
is taken as the example.
