ProSafe 5 AP Wireless Management Software WMS105

Using Discovery OUI

The Wireless Management Software discovers NETGEAR access points on the LAN from the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) of their unique MAC addresses. The first half of the MAC address is the OUI. Usually, this happens without incident during discovery. OUIs are allocated to businesses that produce products with MAC addresses.

Discovery OUI is not often needed, but is useful in the following circumstances:

•There is a new NETGEAR access point that has a new OUI.

•The WMS105 controller is running older firmware that does not recognize the new OUI.

•You do not want to update the WMS105 firmware.

You can use Discovery OUI to register and discover the access point. Click the System tab and select Advanced > Discovery OUI:

To change the settings:

1.Click Add to add a OUI to the list or click Delete to remove it.

Note: OUIs already allocated for NETGEAR devices are preconfigured and cannot be deleted

2.Click the Apply button to save your changes.
