Wireless Controller
The wireless controller can be in the same or different network segment with the CAPs.
Hardware Installation
2
The CAP can be ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted.
Note: Please take the power supply into consideration before the installation.
FIT FAT
The FIT/FAT switch is used to toggle the CAP’s working mode. The toggling of the mode will
reboot the CAP.
In FIT mode, CAPs can be centrally managed by TP-Link’s wireless controller. The default
FIT mode is used when you want to deploy a large wireless network.
In FAT mode, you can log in to CAP’s webpage to manage the AP alone. The FAT mode is
used in a small wireless network. The CAP cannot be managed by wireless controller in FAT
mode.
The kensington lock port is used to connect to a kensington lock to secure your CAPs.
Kensington
POWER
The port is used to connect the CAP to a power socket via the provided power adapter.

The CAP can be powered via a PSE device (such as a PoE switch) or a power adapter.
