Introduction

CAP300-Outdoor:

business. They can either work independently in FAT mode or be centrally managed by

the wireless controller in FIT mode, providing a flexible, richly-functional but easily-

configured enterprise-grade wireless network for small and medium business.

Working Mode

CAPs support two working modes including FIT mode and FAT mode. In FIT mode, APs

can be centrally managed by TP-Link’s wireless controller. The default FIT mode is used

when you want to deploy a large wireless network. The management of every single AP

in the network is complex and complicated. With the wireless controller, you can

centrally manage the mass APs simply in a web browser.

In FAT mode, you can log in to AP’s webpage to manage the AP alone. The FAT mode is

used in a small wireless network. The AP cannot be managed by wireless controller in

FAT mode.

FIT Mode

In the default FIT mode, CAP should be managed by the wireless controller. Please refer

to the Wireless Controller User Guide from our website at www.tp-link.com to learn

more information about configuring and using the CAPs by the controller.

Typical topology in FIT mode:

NOTE:

The IP address of the wireless controller must be reachable for the CAPs in the network.
