10. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one Access Point is deployed, a single Access Point can
function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 Access Points can be connected to, and managed by,
a single Virtual Controller AP of the same Access Point type. These connected Access Points must
be the same type as the Virtual Controller AP.
• Standalone AP - Select this option to deploy this Access Point as an autonomous fat Access Point.
A Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted by a controller
.
11. Select the Country Code of the country where the Access Point is deployed. Selecting a proper country
is a critical task while configuring the Access Point, as it defines the correct channels of operation and
ensures compliance to the regulations of the selected country. This field is only available for the Typical
Setup Wizard.
12. Select Next to set the Access Point’s network mode.
NOTE If wanting to adopt the Access Point to a controller or service platform,
use the controller or service platform’s resident UI to connect to the
Access Point, provision its configuration and administrate the Access
Point’s configuration.
NOTE If designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, Motorola Solutions
recommends the Access Point’s UI be used exclusively to define its
device configuration, and not the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to
define more than one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two
interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage profiles without an
administrator encountering problems.
