Chapter 5 Controller AP Mode

NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User’s Guide

In the figure below, an administrator is able to manage the security settings of 5 
APs (1 controller AP and 4 managed APs). He changes the security mode to WPA-
PSK just by accessing the Web Configurator of the controller AP (C).

Note: Be careful when configuring the controller AP as its managed APs automatically 

inherit some its settings. Moreover, some of these changes will automatically 
disconnect the wireless clients of the managed APs.

Note: The Controller AP options are only available when the NWA is set to 

function in this mode. Therefore, ensure that you have switched modes first 

as described in 

 before continuing.

When you choose Controller AP mode in the 

screen and click 

Apply, you are automatically logged off from the Web Configurator. The NWA 
reboots and shows the following message.

Note: The NWA reboots every time you change mode in the MGMT MODE screen. 

You can switch from Standalone AP to Controller AP (and vice versa) using 
the Web Configurator.
