NWA-3500/NWA-3550 User’s Guide

This example shows you how to configure the NWA’s controller AP and manage AP 
modes. 

In this example, you are the administrator of a company network wherein a group 
of users need stable wireless connection. These users are employees who move 
around the company building a lot, yet need to connect to network resources at 
various times of the day.  

Currently you have 4 NWA standalone APs (A, B, C and D) in each floor of the 4-
storey company building. Though the current setup works, it takes a lot of your 
time to edit profiles in the APs because of their location. You want to convert one 
of your NWA to a controller AP (A) which will allow you to manage all 4 NWA APs 
using the Web Configurator of this newly transformed NWA controller AP.

Additionally, you want a backup for this controller AP. You add another NWA (E) in 
the first floor of the building, which you will then set as a secondary controller AP.      

Figure 62   Tutorial: Controller AP with Backup and Managed APs Example

You want to manage the APs in your company using one controller AP’s Web 
Configurator. That is, you only need to know one IP address to edit the settings of 
the NWAs in your wireless network. 

You want to have a backup of the NWA controller AP configuration.
