Note
All access points are configured and shipped as mesh access points. To use an access point as a root
access point, you must reconfigure the mesh access point to a root access point. In all mesh networks,
ensure that there is at least one root access point.

While the RAPs have wired connections to their controller, the MAPs have wireless connections to their
controller.

MAPs communicate among themselves and back to the RAP using wireless connections over the
802.11a/n radio backhaul. MAPs use the Cisco Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol (AWPP) to determine
the best path through the other mesh access points to the controller.
