The EAP120 and EAP220 provide two management modes: Cluster and Standalone.
By default
，
the management mode is Cluster. In this mode, all EAPs in the same
LAN will form a cluster, and a Master EAP will be elected among them to manage
other EAPs, called Member EAPs.
A DHCP server is required in the local network to assign IP addresses to the EAPs.
A router usually acts as the DHCP server.
Typically, a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch can be used to provide power to
each EAP; otherwise power adapter must be used.
