ProSAFE Wireless Controller 8. To make sure that all the access points are listed, review the discovery results. The effectiveness of the discovery process depends in part on how the access points on your LAN are set up. If each access point is configured with a unique IP address and is running current firmware, discovery is simple. If the discovery results are not what you expect, check the following: • Access points that the wireless controller already manages are not in the discovery list. To view the Managed AP List, select Access Point > Managed AP List. • The access points might be in a different IP network. For information about how to discover access points in a different subnet, see Discover Access Points Installed and Working in Standalone Mode in Different Layer 3 Networks on page 163. • Access points that are in factory default mode but across a router are not detected. For information about how to discover access points across a router, see Discover Access Points Installed and Working in Standalone Mode in Different Layer 3 Networks on page 163. • Make sure that a DHCP server is available in the network or on the wireless controller. For information about the wireless controller's DHCP server, see Manage the DHCP Server on page 106. • For more information, see Resolve Problems With Access Points on page 365. 9. To run the discovery process again, click the Restart button. 10. To designate an access point as a remote access point, from the Site menu, select Remote. By default, all discovered access points are designated as Local. The Remote and Local designations are for organization only. Note: The wireless controller cannot discover remote access points over a site-to-site VPN connection or behind a remote NAT router without a VPN connection. To use an access point as a remote access point over a site-to-site VPN connection or behind a remote NAT router without a VPN connection, you must preprovision the access point and send it to the remote site for installation. For remote access points, the maximin WAN delay period is 100 millisecond. 11. Either select individual access points to be added to the managed list or select all access points to be added to the managed list: • Select individual check boxes for discovered access points that you want to add to the managed list. • Select the check box in the upper right of the table heading to add all discovered access points to the managed list.
