Preference Role

Users can predefine the AP mode by configuring the preference role. APs with the default preference role follow the standard discovery logic by attemptingcontrollerdiscovery before initiating Instant discovery. APs with thecontroller-less preference role bypasscontrollerdiscovery and immediately initiate Instant discovery.

The following procedure describes how to set the AP preference role tocontroller-less:

1.Navigate toMaintenance > Access Point > Convert to Instant Modein the WebUI.

2.Select the AP on which you want to set the preference role tocontroller-less.

3.点击Convert to Instant Mode.

This option is only available on Stand-alonecontrollersandmanaged devices. You cannot convert a non-UAP model to anInstant AP. To convert a non-UAP model to anInstant AP, use the reset pin on the AP and reset the AP to factory default state.
