by PLANET NMS Controller.
Follow the steps below to discover the managed AP through PLANET

AP uses a different static IP in the same subnet before physically
connecting to the managed network.
*** Please regularly check PLANET website for the latest compatible list
of the controller/managed APs in each firmware version.

and enter the default IP address https://192.168.1.100:8888
of the NMS controller. Then, enter the default username and
password “admin” to log on to the system.
* The secure login with SSL (HTTPS) prefix is required.
Step 2: Go to the “Domain” page to discover and add the managed AP
to the device list. Then, you can go to the “AP Control-> AP
Management” page to configure pre-defined profiles to the
managed AP without logging on to the AP’s web page.
