Service controller AP
The service controller sends a discovery reply.
(If the AP authentication option is enabled, the
AP needs to be authenticated first.)
See Discovery of controlled APs on
page 3-7.
AP receives discovery reply. If more than
one reply is received, the AP chooses the
service controller with the highest
priority setting.
See Controlled AP discovery on
page 4-9.
Service controller adds the AP to a group. This
will either be the default group (if the AP is new/
unknown) or an existing group (to which the AP
was previously assigned).
See Configuring APs on page 3-21.

controller.

controller, installs it, and then restarts
itself. Discovery is performed again.

management tunnel.

tunnel with the service controller.
The service controller updates the AP
configuration.

configuration.
