The EAP Controller is a management software for the TP-Link EAP devices. It allows you to centrally
manage your EAP devices using a web browser. You can configure EAPs in batches and conduct
real-time monitoring of each EAP in the network.
Follow the steps below to complete the basic settings of the EAP Controller.
1. Determine the Network Topology
2. Install the EAP Controller
3. Inform the EAPs of the Controller Host's Address
4.
Start and Log in to the EAP Controller
5. Create Sites and Adopt the EAPs
6. Monitor and Manage the EAPs

1.1 Determine the Network Topology
Host B
IP: 192.168.0.200/24
Host A (Controller Host)
IP: 192.168.0.100/24
Layer 2 Switch
Internet

Clients
Router (DHCP Server)
LAN IP:192.168.0.1/24
EAP Controller
There are two kinds of network topologies to centrally manage EAPs via the EAP Controller:
The EAP Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet.
·
The EAP Controller and EAPs are in different subnets.
·
Determine your management method according to your need and refer to the following
introductions to build your network toplogy.
1.1.1 Management in the Same Subnet
If your EAP Controller and EAPs are in the same subnet, refer to the following network topology.
A router acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to EAPs and clients. EAP Controller should
be installed on one host, which is called as Controller Host. The other hosts in the same LAN can
access the Controller Host to manage the network. Taking the following topology as an example,
you can enter “192.168.0.100:8043“ in a web browser on Host B to visit the EAP Controller interface
on Host A. It's recommended to set a static IP address to the Controller Host for the convenient
login to the EAP Controller interface.
Note:
The EAP Controller must be running all the time when you manage the network.
·
The EAP Controller can be running on only one host in a LAN. When other users in the LAN try to launch EAP
·
Controller on their own hosts, they will be redirected to the host that is already running EAP Controller.
2
1.1.2 Management in Different Subnets
If your EAP Controller and EAPs are in different subnets, refer to the following topology.
A router acts as the gateway of the network. A layer 3 switch acts as a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to EAPs and clients. The Controller Host and the EAPs are connected to the switch's
different network segments. To help the EAPs find the Controller Host, EAP Discover Utility should
be installed on Host B which is in the same subnet with the EAPs. For how to use EAP Discovery
Utility, refer to 1.3 Inform the EAPs the Controller Host's Address for detailed instructions.
Host A (Controller Host)

Note: :
In addition to the Controller Host, other hosts in the same LAN can also manage EAP devices via remote
access to the Controller Host. For example, when the IP address of the Controller Host is 192.168.0.100
and the EAP Controller is running normally on this host, you can enter https://192.168.0.100:8043/login, or
https://192.168.0.100:8043, or http://192.168.0.100:8088 in the web browser of other hosts in the same LAN
to log into the management interface and manage EAP devices.
1.5 Create Sites and Adopt EAPs
The EAP Controller can manage multiple EAP networks, which are called sites. Multiple sites are
logically separated, and each site has its own configurations. There is an initial site named Default.
If you have no need to manage EAPs with different sites, you can use the default site and skip the
Create Sites section. However, Adopt the EAPs is a necessary step to manage the EAPs.
1.5.1 Create Sites

3. Click Apply to create the site.
1.5.2 Adopt the EAPs
The EAP Controller can discover all EAP devices currently connected in the network and display
their connection statuses. All the EAPs are in Pending status when first discovered by the EAP
Controller. To manage the EAPs, you need to adopt them. In the quick setup process, the EAP
Controller will automatically adopt the selected EAPs using the default username and password
(both are admin). However, if you have changed the username or password of your EAPs before, the
EAP Controller cannot automatically adopt the them.
To ensure that all EAPs are adopted, follow the steps below:
1. Select a site and go to Access Points > Pending. The table displays all the EAPs that have not
been adopted.
2. Click the Retry button in the Action column and enter the current username and password of the
EAP. Click Apply.
Tips:
If you have a new discovered EAP, you can click the Adopt button in the Action column to adopt the EAP. The
·
EAP Controller will automatically adopt the EAP using the default username and password (both are admin).
If you have multiple new discovered EAPs, and all of them have the default username and password (both
·
are admin), you can click the Batch Adopt button to adopt them all at once. But if there are any EAPs with the
Retry button, it means that the username and password of these EAPs have been changed. You need to first
adopt them before batch adopt the rest EAPs.
3. Wait for a moment, the EAPs will be adopted and the status will change to Connected. All the
EAPs’ username and password will become the same as those of the Controller's administrator
account you created in the Basic Configuration.
Tips:
If you want to change the EAPs' username and password, please refer to Device Account.
