The Omada Cloud Controller (OC200), pre-installed with the Omada Software Controller, can
centrally manage multiple EAPs just as the Omada Software Controller does. The difference is
that the Omada Software Controller needs to run in a management host, which is unnecessary for
the OC200. You just need to deploy an OC200 in the network and keep it running, then you can
configure EAPs in batches and conduct real-time monitoring of EAPs locally or remotely through
Omada Cloud service.
Follow the steps below to complete the basic settings of OC200.

1.1 Deploy the OC200

There are two kinds of network topologies which are suitable for OC200 deployment:
■ The OC200 and EAPs are in the same subnet.
■ The OC200 and EAPs are in different subnets.
Determine your topology according to your need and refer to the following introductions to build
your network topology.

1.1.1  Deploy the OC200 and EAPs in the Same Subnet

If your need to deploy the OC200 and EAPs in the same subnet, refer to the following network
topology.
A router acts as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to EAPs, clients and OC200. The OC200 and
the EAPs are in the same subnet.

1.1.2  Deploy the OC200 and EAPs in Different Subnets

If your need to deploy the OC200 and EAPs in different subnets, refer to the following network
topology.
2
Page 9
A router acts as the gateway of the network. A Layer 3 switch acts as a DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to EAPs, OC200 and clients. The EAPs are in subet 1, of which the IP network segment is
192.168.0.0/24; the OC200 is in subnet 2, of which the IP network segment is 192.168.1.0/24.
Because the EAPs and the OC200 are in the different networksegment, the EAPs cannot find the
OC200 directly. To help the EAPs find the OC200, you need to install an Omada Discover Utility on
a host which is in the same subnet with the EAPs. For how to use Omada Discovery Utility, refer to
Inform the EAPs of the OC200’s Address.

1.2 Determine the Management Method

OC200 supports two flexible management methods to centrally manage EAPs:
■ Management on the local network
■ Management via Cloud Access
Determine your management method according to your needs and refer to the following
introductions to build your network toplogy.

1.2.1  Management on the Local Network

To launch the OC200 locally, deploy your management device on the local network. The following
topology is an example for the deployment of the management device. As long as there is a route
for the management device to access the OC200, the management device can log in to the OC200
to manage the EAPs. For how to log in to the OC200, please refer to On the Local Network.

1.2.2  Management via Cloud Access

If you need to log in to the OC200 remotely, for example, your EAPs and OC200 are in your office
but you want to manage them at home, you can launch the OC200 to manage the EAPs via Cloud
Access.
The following topology is a typical example. You just need to deploy your OC200 and EAPs on your
local network, and use a management device to control them remotely. On the management device,
you can open a web browser to remotely launch the OC200 via Omada Cloud. For more details
about Cloud Access, refer to Omada Cloud Service

Log in to the management interface using the username and password you have set in the basic
configurations.

1.5 Create Sites and Adopt the EAPs

OC200 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. The
Default site cannot be deleted. If you have no need to manage EAPs with different sites, you can
edit 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

There are three methods to create sites: Add Sites, Import Sites, and Copy Sites. Determine the
method according to your need and refer to the following introductions to create sites.
Add Sites
Follow the steps below to add a new site directly.

2. Select a site that you want copy all the settings and click in the Action column. Then enter a unique name for the new site.
3. Click Apply to create the site.

1.5.2  Adopt the EAPs

OC200 can discover all EAPs currently connected in the network and display their connection
status. All EAPs are in Pending status when first discovered by OC200. To manage the EAPs, you
need to adopt them. In the quick setup process, OC200 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, OC200 cannot automatically adopt them, and you
need to refer to the following steps to adopt them manually.
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.
15
Page 22
Tips:
• If you have a new discovered EAP, you can click the Adopt button in the Action column to adopt the EAP. OC200 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 in batch. 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. After EAPs are adopted, the status will change from Pending to Connected. All the EAPs’
username and password will become the same as those of the OC200's administrator account
you created in the Basic Configurations.
Tips:
If you want to change the EAPs' username and password, refer to Device Account.

1.6 Monitor and Manage the EAPs

When all the configurations above are finished, you can centrally monitor and manage the EAPs via
the OC200's management interface. The management interface is divided into three sections as
the following figure shows.

2.3 Monitor and Manage the EAPs

OC200 can discover all the EAPs currently connected to the network and display the information of
them on the Access Points page.

2.3.1  Manage the EAPs in Different Status

According to their connection status, EAPs are divided into four categories: Connected,
Disconnected, Isolated and Pending. You can view the EAPs in different status on different pages:
All Displays the information of all EAPs in different status.
Connected Displays the connected EAPs.
The status of connected EAPs includes two cases: Connected and Connected
(Wireless).
Connected: After you adopt a wired EAP in Pending status, its status will become
Provisioning, then Configuring and Connected eventually.
Connected (Wireless): In a mesh network, if an EAP has a successful wireless uplink, its status will become Adopting (Wireless) and then Connected (Wireless).
Only connected EAPs can be managed. A connected EAP will turn into a pending one after you forget it. You can refer to Forget this AP to forget an EAP or click Forget All on the page to forget all the connected EAPs.
Disconnected Displays the disconnected EAPs.
If a connected EAP powers off or disconnects from the OC200, it will be in Disconnected status. When a disconnected EAP is reset to factory defaults or forgot, it will turn into a pending one again. You can refer to Forget this AP to forget a EAP or click Forget All on the page to forget all the disconnected EAPs.
Isolated Displays the isolated EAPs.
In a mesh network, when the EAP which has been managed before by the OC200 connects to the network wirelessly and cannot reach the gateway, it goes into the Isolated state. The isolated EAP searches for wireless uplink and the LED on the device turns green and flashes off every 5 seconds. To know more about mesh network, refer
to Configure Mesh.
25
Page 32
Pending Displays the pending EAPs.
The status of pending EAPs includes three cases: Pending, Pending (Wireless) and
Managed by others.
Pending: All the EAPs with wired network connection are in pending status by default
when first discovered by Omada Controller.
Pending (Wireless): The factory default EAP with mesh functions and no wired network connection is in Pending (Wireless) status when first discovered by the OC200.
Managed by others: An EAP is located on the same network as the controller, but has been already managed by an existing controller before. You can provide the username/password to unbind the EAP from the existing controller and begin adoption in current controller.
Only after pending EAPs are adopted and connected, can you manage them. To adopt pending EAPs, refer to Adopt the EAPs.

3.1.2  Configure Advanced Wireless Parameters

Proper wireless parameters can improve the network's stability, reliability and communication
efficiency. The advanced wireless parameters consist of Fast Roaming, Beacon Interval, DTIM
Period, RTS Threshold, Fragmentation Threshold and Airtime Fairness.
To configure the advanced wireless parameters, follow the steps below.
1. Go to Wireless Settings > Advanced Wireless Setting.
45
Page 52
2. Enable Fast Roaming and configure the corresponding parameters.
Fast Roaming With this option enabled, 11k/v capable clients can have improved fast
roaming experience when moving among different APs.
Dual Band 11k Report With this feature disabled, the OC200 provides candidate AP report that
contains the APs in the same band as the clients. With this feature enabled, the OC200 provides candidate AP report that contains the APs in both
2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Force-disassociation The OC200 dynamically monitors the link quality of every associated client.
When the client’s current link quality drops below the predefined threshold and there are some other APs with better signal, the current AP issues an 11v roaming suggestion to the client.
3. Click Apply.
With Force-disassociation disabled, the AP only issues a roaming suggestion, but whether to roam or not is determined by the client.
With Force-disassociation enabled, the AP not only issues a roaming suggestion but also disassociates the client after a while. Thus the client is supported to re-associate to a better AP. This function is recommended when there are sticky clients that don‘t roam.
46
Page 53
4. Select the band frequency .
5. Configure the following parameters.
Beacon Interval Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP to announce the presence of
a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the device.
You can specify a value between 40 and 100ms. The default is 100ms.
DTIM Period The DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is contained in some Beacon
frames. It indicates whether the EAP has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this EAP should check for buffered data still on the EAP awaiting pickup.
You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating clients check for buffered data on the EAP at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend that you keep it by default.
RTS Threshold RTS (Request to Send) can ensure efficient data transmission. When RTS is
activated, the client will send a RTS packet to EAP to inform that it will send data before it send packets. After receiving the RTS packet, the EAP notices other clients in the same wireless network to delay their transmitting of data and informs the requesting client to send data, thus avoiding the conflict of packet. If the size of packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS mechanism will be activated.
If you specify a low threshold value, RTS packets are sent more frequently and help the network recover from interference or collisions that might occur on a busy network. However, it also consumes more bandwidth and reduces the throughput of the packet. We recommend that you keep it by default. The recommended and default value is 2347.
Fragmentation Threshold
Airtime Fairness With this option enabled, each client connecting to the EAP can get the same
Channel Limit For the EAPs that support DFS in EU version, there is a Channel Limit option.
The fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets.
Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.
amount of time to transmit data, avoiding low-data-rate clients to occupy too much network bandwidth and improving the network throughput. We recommend that you enable this function under multi-rate wireless networks.
With this option enabled, out-door EAPs will not use the frequency range 5150MHz-5350MHz to meet local laws and regulation limits in EU member states and EFTA states.
6. Click Apply.
47
Page 54

3.1.3  Configure Band Steering

A client device that is capable of communicating on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands will
typically connect to the 2.4GHz band. However, if too many client devices are connected to an EAP
on the 2.4GHz band, the efficiency of communication will be diminished. Band Steering can steer
dual-band clients to the 5GHz frequency band which supports higher transmission rates and more
client devices, and thus to greatly improve the network quality.
To configure Band Steering, follow the steps below.
1. Go to Wireless Settings > Band Steering.
2. Check the box to enable the Band Steering function.
3. Configure the following parameters to balance the clients on both frequency bands:
Connection Threshold/ Difference Threshold
Max Failures If a client repeatedly attempts to associate with the EAP on the 5GHz band
Connection Threshold defines the maximum number of clients connected to the 5GHz band. The value of Connection Threshold is from 2 to 40, and the default is 20.
Difference Threshold defines the maximum difference between the number of clients on the 5GHz band and 2.4GHz band. The value of Difference Threshold is from 1 to 8, and the default is 4.
When the following two conditions are both met, the EAP prefers to refuse the connection request on 5GHz band and no longer steers other clients to the 5GHz band:
1. The number of clients on the 5GHz band reaches the Connection Threshold value.
2. The difference between the number of clients on the 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band reaches the Difference Threshold value.
and the number of rejections reaches the value of Max Failures, the EAP will accept the request.
The value is from 0 to 100, and the default is 10.
4. Click Apply.

3.1.4  Configure Mesh

Mesh is used to establish a wireless network or expand a wired network through wireless
connection on 5GHz radio band. In practical application, it can help users to conveniently deploy
APs without requiring Ethernet cable. After mesh network establishes, the EAPs can be configured
and managed within OC200 in the same way as wired EAPs. Meanwhile, because of the ability to
self-organize and self-configure, mesh also can efficiently reduce the configuration overhead.
Note:
• Only the EAPs with specific firmware are available for mesh function, including EAP225-Outdoor_1.0 with firmware version 1.3.0 or above and EAP225_3.0 with firmware version 2.5.0 or above.
• Only the EAPs in the same site can establish a mesh network.
To understand how mesh can be used, the following terms used in OC200 will be introduced:
■ Root AP: The AP is managed by OC200 with a wired data connection that can be configured to
relay data to and from mesh APs (Downlink AP).
■ Isolated AP: When the EAP which has been managed before by OC200 connects to the network
wirelessly and cannot reach the gateway, it goes into the Isolated state.
■ Mesh AP: An isolated AP will be mesh AP after establishing a wireless connection to the AP with
network access.
■ Uplink AP/Downlink AP: Among mesh APs, the AP that offers the wireless connection for
other APs is Uplink AP. A Root AP or an intermediate AP can be the Uplink AP. And the AP
that connects to the Uplink AP is called Downlink AP. An uplink AP can offer direct wireless
connection for 4 Downlink APs at most.
■ Wireless Uplink: The action that a Downlink AP connects to the uplink AP.
■ Hops: In a deployment that uses a root AP and more than one level of wireless uplink with
intermediate APs, the uplink tiers can be referred to by root, first hop, second hop and so on.
The hops cannot be more than 3.
In a basic mesh network as shown below, there is a root AP that is connected by Ethernet
cable, while other isolated APs have no wired data connection. Mesh allows the isolated APs to
communicate with pre-configured root AP on the network. Once powered up, factory default or
unadopted EAPs can sense the EAP in range and make itself available for adoption within the
OC200.

After all the EAPs are adopted, a mesh network is established. Then the EAPs connected to the
network wirelessly also can broadcast SSIDs and relay network traffic to and from the network
through the uplink AP.
To establish a mesh network, follow the steps below.
■ Enable Mesh Function.
■ Adopt the Root AP.
■ Set up wireless uplink by adopting APs in Pending (Wireless) or Isolated status.
1. Go to Wireless Settings > Mesh.
2. Check the box to enable the Mesh function.
3. Configure the following parameters to maintain the mesh network:
50
Page 57
Auto Failover Enable or disable Auto Failover.
Auto Failover is used for the OC200 to automatically maintain the mesh network. With this feature enabled, the OC200 can automatically select an uplink AP for the isolated EAP to establish Wireless Uplink. Thus the OC200 will automatically select a new uplink AP for the mesh EAPs when the original uplink fails.
Connectivity Detection Specify the method of Connection Detection.
In a mesh network, the APs can send ARP request packets to a fixed IP address to test the connectivity. If the link fails, the status of these APs will change to Isolated.
Auto (Recommended): Select this method and the mesh APs will send ARP request packets to the default gateway for the detection.
Custom IP Address: Select this method and specify a desired IP address. The mesh APs will send ARP request packets to the custom IP address to test the connectivity. If the IP address of the AP is in different network segments from the custom IP address, the AP will use the default gateway IP address for the detection.
Full-Sector DFS With this feature enabled, when radar signals are detected on current
channel by one EAP, the other EAPs in the mesh network will be also informed. Then all EAPs in the mesh network will switch to an alternate channel.
4. Click Apply.
5. Go to Access Points > Pending and adopt the Root AP. Then the status of the Root AP will
change into Connected.
6. Install the EAP that will uplink the Root AP wirelessly. Make sure the intended location is within
the range of Root AP. The EAPs that is waiting for Wireless Uplink includes two cases: factory
default EAPs and EAPs that has been managed by OC200 before.
1 ) For the factory default EAP, after powering on the device, the EAP will be in Pending (Wireless)
status. Go to Access Points > Pending and adopt the EAPs in Pending (Wireless) status.
51
Page 58
After adoption begins, the status of Pending (Wireless) EAP will become Adopting (Wireless) and
then Connected (Wireless). It should take roughly 2 minutes to show up Connected (Wireless)
within your OC200.
2 ) For the EAP that has been managed by OC200 before and cannot reach the gateway, it goes
into Isolated status when it is discovered again. Go to Access Points > Isolated, click
The following page will shown, go to Mesh, then click to connect the Uplink AP.
.
Once adoption has finished, your device can be managed by the OC200 in the same way as a
wired EAP. You can click the EAP’s name on the Access Points tab to view and configure the mesh
parameters of the EAP on the pop-up window. Please refer to View Mesh Information of the EAP.
Tips:
• You can manually select the uplink AP that you want to connect in the uplink EAP list. To build a mesh network with better performance, we recommend that you select the Uplink AP with the strongest signal, least hop and least Downlink AP.
• You can enable Auto Failover to make the OC200 automatically select an uplink AP for the isolated EAP to establish Wireless Uplink. And the OC200 will automatically select a new uplink AP for the mesh EAPs when
the original uplink fails.
