UniFi Controller User Guide

Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.

Appendix D: Controller Scenarios

Layer-3 Adoption

Here is an overview of a typical example:

1. Create your controller.

2. At the customer site, open a browser to the UniFi

Controller.

3. Every UniFi AP has a default inform URL:

http://unifi:8080/inform

Use one of the following methods to configure all local

APs so they inform back to the UniFi Controller:

• UniFi EasySetup App (see below)

• UniFi Discovery Utility (see the next column)

• “DNS” on page 123

• “DHCP Option 43” on page 123

• ”SSH” on page 124

UniFi EasySetup App

1. Launch the UniFi EasySetup App from your mobile

device.

2. Tap Settings. If Settings is not displayed, then tap the

overflow icon in the upper‑right corner, and then tap

Settings.

3. Scroll down the Setting screen to view the UniFi

Controller settings:

• Controller mode Enable use of the UniFi EasySetup

App with a UniFi Controller.

• Address Enter the IP address of the UniFi Controller.

• Port Enter the port number of the UniFi Controller.

For more information about the UniFi EasySetup App, refer

to “UniFi EasySetup App” on page 115.

UniFi Discovery Utility

The UniFi Discovery Utility listens to the multicast and

broadcast packets from UniFi APs and allows you to tell

the UniFi AP to inform any URL you want. (Only APs in the

default state or not in contact with any controller will be

displayed).

The UniFi Discovery Utility is installed alongside your

UniFi Controller. Follow the instructions for the operating

system you are using:

Mac Users From the Finder, click Go > Applications and

double‑click the UniFi-Discover.app icon.

PC Users For most versions of Windows, go to Start

> All Programs > Ubiquiti UniFi and double‑click the

UniFi-Discover icon.

For other versions, including Windows 8, go to the Start

menu and double‑click the UniFi-Discover icon.

Linux Users Run the following command:

java -jar <unifi_base>/lib/ace.jar discover

To perform Layer‑3 adoption with the UniFi Discovery

Utility:

1. Wait for the UniFi AP to be displayed.
