AP Controller Mode (NWA-3160

Only)

When the ZyXEL Device is an AP controller, it can manage other access points. You configure
settings for the AP controller and the managed access points in the AP controller, which then
sends the configuration details to the managed APs.
The ZyXEL Device can manage compatible access points only (see

Section 1.3 on page 36

for

a list of compatible access points). AP controller mode is part of the ZyXEL CAPWAP
implementation.
Use the Management Mode screen to set your ZyXEL Device to AP controller mode (see

Section 5.2 on page 79

).

6.1 Status Screen

When the ZyXEL Device is in AP controller mode, the Status screen acquires some new fields
in the System Information, AP Status, WLAN Association and System Status sections. The
System Status links take you to screens that provide information on the access points
managed by the ZyXEL Device.
Click Status. The following screen displays.
