xxx denotes the mode the NWA3000-N series AP was previously using.

DESCRIPTION
AP Controller
Select this option to have the NWA3000-N series AP act as a
managing device for other NWA3000-N series APs on your
network. The NWA3000-N series AP only acts as a controller
when you select this. Wireless clients cannot connect directly to
the controller; you have to connect to it through the wired
network.
Standalone AP
Select this to manage the NWA3000-N series AP using its own
web configurator, neither managing nor managed by other
devices.
Managed AP
Select this to have the NWA3000-N series AP managed by
another NWA3000-N series AP on your network.
When you do this, the NWA3000-N series AP can be configured
ONLY by the management AP. If you do not have an AP controller
on your network and want to return the NWA3000-N series AP to
standalone mode, you must use the its physical
RESET
button or
the commands. All settings are returned to their default values.
Apply
Click this to save your changes.
If you change the mode in this screen, the NWA3000-N series AP
restarts. Wait a short while before you attempt to log in again. If
you changed the mode to
Managed AP
, you cannot log in as the
web configurator is disabled; you must manage the NWA3000-N
series AP through the controller AP on your network.
Reset
Click this to return this screen to its previously-saved settings.
