7. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Access Point Type screen to define the Access
Point's Standalone versus Virtual Controller AP functionality,
8. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:
• Virtual Controller AP - When more than one Access Point is deployed, a single Access Point can
function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 Access Points can be connected to, and managed by, a
single Virtual Controller AP of the same model.
• Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this Access Point as an autonomous fat Access Point. A
Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual Controller AP, or adopted by a controller.
9. Use the Country drop-down menu to set where the Access Point is deployed.
The Access Point prompts for the correct country code on the first login. A warning message also displays
stating an incorrect country setting may result in illegal radio operation. Selecting the correct country is
central to legal operation. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic
emissions and the maximum RF signal strength that can be transmitted. This is a required parameter.
NOTE If wanting to adopt the Access Point to a controller or service platform.
Use the controller or service platform’s resident UI to connect to the
Access Point, provision its configuration and administrate the Access
Point’s configuration.
NOTE If designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, Motorola Solutions
recommends the Access Point’s UI be used exclusively to define its
device configuration, and not the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to
define more than one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two
interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage profiles without an
administrator encountering problems.
