Chapter 4: Managing Access Points and
Clusters
The AT-TQ2403 Management Software shows current basic configuration settings for clustered access
points (location, IP address, MAC address, status, and availability) and provides a way of navigating to the
full configuration for specific APs if they are cluster members.
Standalone access points or those which are not members of this cluster do not show up in this listing. To
configure standalone access points, you must discover or know the IP address of the access point and by
using its IP address in a URL (http://IPAddressOfAccessPoint).
Note: The AT-TQ2403 Management Software is not designed for multiple, simultaneous
configuratio
n changes. If you have a network that includes multiple access points, and more
than one administrator is logged on to the Administration Web pages and making changes to
the configuration, all access points in the cluster will stay in sync but there is no guarantee that
all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.
