4.1.4 Notes on CAPWAP

This section lists some additional features of ZyXEL’s implementation of the CAPWAP
protocol.

• When the AP controller uses its internal RADIUS server, managed APs also use the AP

controller’s authentication server to authenticate wireless clients.

• Only one AP controller can exist in any single broadcast domain.
• If a managed AP’s link to the AP controller is broken, the managed AP continues to use

the wireless settings with which it was last provided.

4.2 The Management Mode Screen

Use this screen to configure the ZyXEL Device as a CAPWAP managed AP, or to use it in its
