Basic Settings for a Standalone Access Point

The Basic Settings page for a standalone access point indicates that the mode is standalone and provides
a link for adding the access point to a cluster (group). If you click on any of the Cluster tabs on the Web
User Interface pages for an access point in standalone mode, you will be redirected to the Basic Settings
page because Cluster settings do not apply to standalone APs.

For more information see “Standalone Mode” on page 47 and “Adding an Access Point to a Cluster” on
page 50
.
