Wireless Discovery Configuration - D-Link DWC-1000 User Manual

Wireless Controller

2.6.1 Wireless Discovery configuration

The wireless controller can discover, validate, authenticate, or monitor the
following system devices:
• Peer wireless controllers
• APs
• Wireless clients
• Rogue APs
• Rogue wireless clients
Setup > AP Management > Poll List
The wireless controller can discover peer wireless controller and APs
regardless of whether these devices are connected to each other, located in the
same Layer 2 broadcast domain, or attached to different IP subnets. In order for
the controller to discover other WLAN devices and establish communication
with them, the devices must have their own IP address, must be able to find
other WLAN devices, and must be compatible. When the controller discovers
and validates APs, the controller takes over the management of the AP. If you
configure the AP in Standalone mode, the existing AP configuration is replaced
by the default AP Profile configuration on the controller.

