Netgear WC7600v2 – ProSAFE Wireless Controller User Manual

Except for the WAC740 and WN370 access points, all access points can function in either 
standalone mode or controller-managed mode. 

Standalone mode. When an access point functions in standalone mode, the access 
point’s provides a full web management interface that allows you to configure and 
manage all features that the access point supports. For more information about 
standalone mode, see the user manual for your access point. (Because the WAC740 and 
WN370 access points do not function in standalone mode, NETGEAR does not provide 
user manuals for these models.)

Controller-managed mode. When an access point functions in controller-managed 
mode, the access point provides a limited web management interface that allows you to 
manage the following features only:

DHCP client

Access point IP address settings

Wireless controller IP address

Management VLAN

Firmware

Password

Link aggregation (WAC740 access point only)

In addition, you can view the logs on the controller-managed access point. You can 
convert a controller-managed access point to standalone mode by loading a standalone 
firmware version on the controller-managed access point (this does not apply to the 
WAC740 and RN370 access points).

The following sections describe the tasks that you can perform through the limited web 
management interface of a controller-managed access point:
