CAPSMAN Config Assistance

Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:15 am

Hey Forum!
New convert to MikroTik, bought a few devices for my home layout.
6.40.5 RouterBOARD wAP G-5HacT2HnD
(1) - 10/100/100 Interface
2.4 GHz B/G/N
5.0 GHz N/AC

3.40.5 RouterBOARD hAP 962UiGS-5HacT2HnT
(5) - 10/100/1000 Interfaces
2.4 GHz B/G/N
5.0 GHz N/AC

I am looking to setup CAPSMAN of the wAP and use the hAP as the CAPSMAN controller.
So far, I have not been able to find a resource on line that would explain this setup.

Connection Details
wAP <------ Eth5 --PoE-----> hAC

Future
wAP <------ Eth4 --PoE Inj---> hAc

I may end up adding on more AP for outdoors for cameras / wifi.
I have knowledge of Cisco LAN router & switching, but this CAPsMAN is not clicking for me.
I see on the hAP that I have the CAPSMAN tab in winbox and saw that I can connect to the wAP to choose CAP mode.
I tried and made a mess of things trying to add the hAP wlan 1 & 2 to CAPSMAN and couldn't figure it out.

Any help on how to read on get started with a sample configuration would be great.
Watching the videos and slideshows, I did see that a real basic config can be rolled out via CLI.
I have reset these and just upgrade to the latest code, so no config to save.
Still tinkering to figure something out.... any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

I was learning more about CAPsMAN and found this case study made by Uldis:

Hope this can help you!
