Note:
Before you start, be sure to power up and connect your devices according to
the topology figure.
A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to
assign IP addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
Omada Controller must have network access to your Omada devices (the
router, switch, and EAPs) in order to find, adopt, and manage them.
Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you have no
spare PC to keep running Omada Software Controller in the network. It needs to
be purchased additionally. For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of
OC200/OC300.
