Chapter 3 Tutorials 3.6 How to Configure Management Modes This example shows you how to configure the NWA's controller AP and managed AP modes. Note: If you are using several NWA models in your network including an NWA-3166, you should use the NWA-3166 as the Controller AP. 3.6.1 Scenario In this example, you are the administrator of a company network wherein a group of users need stable wireless connection. These users are employees who move around the company building a lot, yet need to connect to network resources at various times of the day. Currently you have 4 NWA standalone APs (A, B, C and D) in each floor of the 4storey company building. Though the current setup works, it takes a lot of your time to edit profiles in the APs because of their location. You want to convert one of your NWA to a controller AP (A) which will allow you to manage all 4 NWA APs using the Web Configurator of this newly transformed NWA controller AP. Additionally, you want a backup for this controller AP. You add another NWA (E) in the first floor of the building, which you will then set as a secondary controller AP.
