24 AP-8432 Access Point
9. 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
.
10. 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.
11. Select Next to set the Access Point’s network mode.
Note • The professional installer should refer to the WiNG Access Point
System Reference Guide available at www.zebra.com/support
for detailed
information on how to set the Access Point’s transmit power, antenna gain
and channel in respect to the deployment country’s unique regulatory
requirements.
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, its
recommended 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
encountering problems.
