Clicking on the AP tab will default to this menu, where you can view basic AP management options:
AP Controller
AP
Management
The AP controller for managing Pepwave APs can be enabled by checking this box. When
this option is enabled, the AP controller will wait for management connections originating
from APs over the LAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for captive portal
connections on TCP port 443. An extended DHCP option, CAPWAP Access Controller
addresses (field 138), will be added to the DHCP server. A local DNS record, AP
Controller, will be added to the local DNS proxy.
Support
Remote AP
The AP controller supports remote management of Pepwave APs. When this option is
enabled, the AP controller will wait for management connections originating from remote
APs over the WAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for captive portal
connections on TCP port 443.
The DHCP server and/or local DNS server of the remote AP’s network should be configured
in the DNS Proxy Settings menu under Network>LAN. The procedure is as follows:
1.
Define an extended DHCP option, CAPWAP Access Controller addresses (field
138), in the DHCP server, where the values are the AP controller's public IP
addresses; and/or
2.
Create a local DNS record for the AP controller with a value corresponding to the AP
controller's public IP address.
