NETGEAR ProSAFE Access Points
You can connect access points to the wireless controller either directly with an Ethernet cable
through a router or switch, or remotely through an IP network. After you have used the
automatic discovery process and added access points to the managed access point list on
the wireless controller, the wireless controller converts the standard access points to
dependent access points by pushing firmware to the access points. From then on, you can
centrally manage and monitor the access points.
A WC9500 wireless controller system can support the following access points:
