1.3 Inform the EAPs of the Controller Host's Address If your Controller Host and EAPs are in the same network segment, you can skip this section. If your Controller Host and EAPs are in different subnets, you need to install Omada Discovery Utility on a host that is in the same network segment with the EAPs. Omada Discovery Utility can help EAPs find the Controller Host. System Requirements Windows 7/8/10/Server Mac OS X 10.7/10.8/10.9/10.10/10.11 Install and Use Omada Discovery Utility Follow the steps below to install Omada Discovery Utility and use it to inform the EAPs of the Controller Host's IP address: 1.
