Discovery Results
The effectiveness of the discovery feature 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, then discovery is usually simple.
If the discovery results are not what you expect, check the following:
•
Access points already managed by the wireless management system are not in the
discovery list.
•
If two or more access points still have their factory default settings, their IP addresses
might be identical. If this is the case, the wireless management system discovers one of
these access points. Add that access point, change its IP address, and then use
discovery to find the next access point.
