Chapter 1 System Setup
The EAP Controller is a management software specially designed for the TP-LINK EAP devices on a
business wireless network. It allows you to centrally manage masses of EAP devices using a web browser
on your PC. Moreover, it is particularly worth mentioning that it allows you to configure EAPs in batches.
The EAP Controller has sufficient monitoring features. Graphically displaying the location and visual
coverage of the managed EAP devices, the Controller can also real-time monitor the running condition of
each EAP in the LAN.
This User Guide is applicable to the EAP Controller software and all of the EAP series Business Wi-Fi Access
Point models.
