Chapter 2 Network Topology A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below. Figure 2-1 Typical Topology To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running the EAP Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs. The EAP can be managed by the EAP Controller software, which is a management software specially designed for the TP-LINK EAP devices on a local wireless network, allowing you to centrally configure and monitor mass EAP devices using a web browser on your PC.

Chapter 2
Network Topology
A typical network topology for the EAP is shown below.
Figure 2-1 Typical Topology
To deploy an EAP in your local network, a DHCP server is required to assign IP addresses to the
EAP and clients. Typically, a router acts as the DHCP server. A computer running the EAP
Controller software can locate in the same or different subnet with the EAPs.
The EAP can be managed by the EAP Controller software, which is a management software
specially designed for the TP-LINK EAP devices on a local wireless network, allowing you to
centrally configure and monitor mass EAP devices using a web browser on your PC. For more
