So in operation each VAP Access Point in thin AP mode joins a wired network which gives backbone connectivity in actual fact the backbone connectivity between the VAP units could take several different forms for example via a separate WiFi network interconnecting the nodes together Then it looks for a VAP Access Point in AC mode If there 19 a wireless controller on the network the VAP managed AP will send the registration request to the VAP Access Point Once the registration 1s successfully made the VAP Access Point will add the VAP managed AP to its management list and provides it with default configuration information 1 5 Typical Application Scenario Thin AP Mode This mode is where you want to use a network of controlled units which merge together to give the appearance from the clients point of view of a single WiF1 network Presenting the network as single WiFi simplifies connectivity for the end users and improves roaming for clients between the nodes In operation you have one VAP unit which is nominated as the AC controller unit This is set to mode AC Thin AP This is the main management AP which 1s used to centrally configure and control the other APs The remote APs are configured in Thin AP mode All of the remote Thin APs must be connected via their lan port to the network port of the AC unit 1 e all the APs must be on the same network The backbone interconnectivity between the APs can be via a standard copper based LAN s
