1 Quick Start
The wireless controller (AC) is a device used for centralized management of access points
(APs). At present, the supported APs are TP-Link’s CAPs. The AC can configure CAPs
in batches using a web browser and conduct a real-time monitoring of each CAP in the
network. This AC supports AP automatic discovery, AP status monitoring, AP centralized
control, MAC filtering, radio management, load balance, dual-link backup and various
authentication types.
This wireless controller makes it easier to configure and manage dozens or hundreds of
CAPs in a large public environment, such as markets, hotels, companies and campuses,etc.
AC500 wireless controller supports to manage 500 CAPs at the same time and AC50
wireless controller supports 50 CAPs.
1.1 Determine the Network Topology
You can use the AC to centrally manage the CAPs in the same or different network
segment.
1.1.1 Manage CAPs in the LAN
If you want to manage the CAPs in the LAN, refer to the following network topology.
Wireless Controller
IP: 192.168.0.253/24 Switch
Host A
IP: 192.168.0.200/24
Internet
CAPs
Clients
Router (DHCP Server)
LAN IP:192.168.0.1/24
3
1.1.2 Manage CAPs in Different Network Segment
If the AC needs to manage CAPs in a different network segment, refer to the following
topology.
1.1.1.2/24192.168.1.1/24
Wireless Controller
IP: 1.1.1.100/24
Host A
IP: 1.1.1.101/24
Router
Switch
CAPs
Clients
Note:
In this situation, the router acting as the CAPs' DHCP server should support option 60 and option138 in DHCP
settings.
1.2 Log in to the AC
1.2.1 Preparations
Before login, you should verify the following items:
The AC is powered on and correctly connected. The management host is accessible to
the AC.
Specify the management host with a static IP address on the 192.168.0.x subnet (for
example, IP address 192.168.0.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10.
Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox 32 (or above), Google Chrome 37 (or above), Opera 24 (or
above), or Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (or above).

The wireless controller’s configuration files fall into two types: the running configuration file
and the start-up configuration file. After you perform configurations on the sub-interfaces
and click Save, the modifications will be saved in the running configuration file. However,
the configurations will be lost when the device reboots.
If you need to keep the configurations even if the device reboots, please use the function
to save the configurations in the start-up configuration file. Click Save Config on the top-
right of the interface, especially before you power off or reboot the device.
