Solid Green Device is powered on and works normal.
Solid Blue Device is Controller and normal.
Solid Red Device is in error and cannot provide services normally.
3. Installation
1. Position your access point for best performance.
Before you install and mount your access point as described in the installation guide, con!
sider how you can position the access point for best performance. The access point lets you
access your network anywhere within the operating range of your Wi-Fi network. However,
the operating distance or range of your Wi-Fi connection can vary significantly depending
on the physical placement of your access point. Therefore, choosing a good location is very
important.
2. Set up and connect the access point to your network.
You can connect the access point to a Power over Ethernet plus (PoE+) switch in your net!
work. The switch must be connected to a network router that is connected to the Internet.
If you don’t use a PoE connection, a power adapter is required for the access point as
shown below:
4. Establish AP Network
An AP Network contains many access points, and they play two roles in the network: Controller
and Agent. There is only one Controller in an AP Network, the others are Agents. The Con!
troller is the AP controller of this group and it will manage Wi-Fi and lots of other functions for
the entire group. The Controller is capable of controlling up to 64 access points in the same
group, including itself.
In an AP Network, we first configure the Controller’s Wi-Fi and other related information. For
details, please go to Network > AP Network. After the AP Network is established, the config!
urations of Controller will be automatically synchronized to all Agents.

In an AP Network, some APs with the same APNID value can establish another new AP net!
work. APNID can be configured in ACS server.
There are two ways to determine the Controller of an AP Network: manually assign Controller
and automatically select Controller. For details, please go to chapters 4.2 and 4.3.
4.1. Connect to Network
To set up the access point with an Ethernet connection to your network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the port on the access point.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a port on a switch that is connected to your
network and to the Internet.
If you use a PoE connection, the port must support PoE+.
4.2. Manually Assign Controller
Configure the AP Controller
1. Place only one access point in a suitable location, and connect to the network as described
in step 4.1.
2. Open a web browser and enter the URL https://ms659150m.local.
3. Log in to the Web UI using the default username: admin and password (Located on bottom
of your access point).
4. Go to Network > AP Network > Basic to change AP Mode to Controller, then assign it as the
AP Controller of the AP network.

5. Visit the new URL https://ms659150m-cap.local in the browser to access to the
assigned Controller.
6. Go to Network > AP Network > Basic to change Wi-Fi settings, and remember to save your
settings.
7. Refer to 5. Settings in this guide for more configuration settings (optional).
Connect the AP Controller to Network
Connect Agents to the AP Network
1. Connect other access points to the same local area network to establish AP network. Record
the MAC address at the bottom of each access point and relative position in AP network.
When all access points have successfully connected to the network, only the Controller’s
LED is blue, the rest of the access points’ LEDs are green.

2. Go to Diagnostics > AP List, all the access points in AP network are displayed in the AP List.
Find the access point by MAC address recorded in the previous step, modify its AP Name
and AP Location by clicking the edit button in column Edit. Then you can quickly find an
access point, view information, and personalize its radio settings.
Connect Agents to Network

If the assigned Controller is disconnected for any reason, a certain Agent in
the network will be automatically elected as the new Controller in minutes to
ensure the network will be back to normal immediately. Once the assigned
Controller is recovered, it will act as the Controller of the AP Network again,
and the automatically elected Controller will become Agent again.

4.3. Automatically Elect Controller
Connect all APs to the same Network
1. Place all access points in suitable locations, and connect them to the same local area net!
work as described in step 4.1. Record the MAC address at the bottom of each access point
and relative position.
2. The AP Network will be established in minutes and a certain access point will be automati!
cally elected as the Controller of the AP Network. When all access points have successfully
connected to the network, only the Controller’s LED is blue, the rest of the access points’
LEDs are green.
Configure the automatically elected Controller
1. Open a web browser and enter the URL https://ms659150m-2.local to access to the auto!
matically elected Controller.
2. Log in to the Web UI using the default username: admin and password (Located on bottom
of your access point).
3. Go to Network > AP Network > Basic to change Wi-Fi settings, and remember to save your
settings. The Agents will synchronize Controller’s Wi-Fi settings in a few minutes.
4. Go to Diagnostics > AP List, all the access points in AP network are displayed in the AP List.
Find the access point by MAC address recorded in the previous step, modify its AP Name
and AP Location by clicking the edit button in column Edit. Then you can quickly find an
access point, view information, and personalize its radio settings.
5. Refer to 5. Settings in this guide for more configuration settings (optional).

1. When the AP Network is first established, the default AP mode of all access
points is Agent, the Controller of the AP Network can be automatically
elected or manually assigned.
2. When the assigned Controller exists in the network, the auto-elect mecha!
nism will not run.
3. If the original Controller is disconnected for any reason, a certain Agent in
the network will be automatically elected as the new Controller in minutes
to ensure the network back to normal immediately.
4.4. Change Password
Change Access Point Password
The user will be forced to change the password when logging into access point for the first
time.
