Access Point Discovery
2-4
v1.0, March 2010
If discovery results show unknown access points, it could be due to these reasons:
The access point is running an older version of firmware. Upgrade firmware as needed so
that discovery can locate the access point.
The Wireless Management System located a NETGEAR access point that is not supported
or located a NETGEAR device that is not an access point.
For a list of compatible access point models and their supported firmware, see
“Compatible
Access Point Supported Firmware Versions” in Appendix
A
.
If a new NETGEAR access point is not discovered, it might have a MAC address that the
Wireless Management System does not recognize, though this is not common. See
“Using
Discovery OUI” on page
7-15

Adding Access Points
After the Wireless Management System discovers the access points, add them so they can be
managed by the Wireless Management System.
