Gateway 7001 Series User Manual

www.gateway.com

In general, Gateway 7001 Series self-managed APs are designed for central management 
of clustered access points. For access points in a cluster, all access points in the cluster 
reflect the same configuration. In this case, it does not matter which access point you 
actually connect to for administration.

There may be situations, however, when you want to view or manage information on a 
particular access point. For example, you might want to check status information such as 
client associations or events for an access point. Or you might want to configure and 
manage features on an access point that is running in standalone mode. In these cases, 
you can navigate to the Administration Web interface for individual access points by 
clicking the IP address links on the Access Points tab.

All clustered access points are shown on the Cluster > Access Points page. To navigate to 
clustered access points, you click on the IP address for a specific cluster member shown 
in the list.

You can also link to the Administration Web pages of a specific access point, by typing 
the IP address for that access point as a URL directly into a Web browser address bar in 
the following form:

http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint 

(where IPAddressOfAccessPoint is the address of the particular access point you want 
to monitor or configure).

For standalone access points, this is the only way to navigate to their configuration 
information. If you do not know the IP address for a standalone access point, use Kickstart 
to find all APs on the network and you should be able to derive which ones are standalone 
by comparing KickStart findings with access points listed on the 

 

tab. The APs that Kickstart finds that are not shown on the this tab are probably standalone 
APs. (For more information on using Kickstart, see
