Note: Be careful when configuring the controller AP as its managed APs automatically inherit some its settings. Moreover, some of these changes will automatically disconnect the wireless clients of the managed APs.
5.1.3 Before You Begin
Note: The Controller AP options are only available when the NWA is set to function in this mode. Therefore, ensure that you have switched modes first as described in Section 4.2 on page 49 before continuing.
5.2 Controller AP Navigation Menu
When you choose Controller AP mode in the MGNT MODE screen and click Apply, you are automatically logged off from the Web Configurator. The NWA reboots and shows the following message.
