can AP´s 305c-wr be used as controller mode or standalone mode?

I have 30 ap's 305c-wr but it does not have extreme cloud iq, nor a controller, it only has HiveManager but I have already checked that it is not compatible with these computers. The ap's 305c-wr or those of the Cloud family can be configured in standlone mode and configure an ap to act as controller mode. Or what could be a better solution to not waste these equipment?

Hello David,

Have you checked out Extremecloud IQ connect? It may help in your case: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000056841

excuseme Christoph S.

ExtremeCloud IQ Connect is it a trial version?

or does it have a price?

or is there already a license with my AP?

You can use it to onboard APs without requiring licenses. It’s a toned down version of XIQ Pilot but has the basic features that will allow you to onboard and use your APs.

This will provide you with a quick view of the differences:

ok, another question, these device (type C) only work at cloud level, or can they also adapt to other modes?

Cloud and on-premise. Here’s some literature that may help: https://cloud.kapostcontent.net/pub/e2a6e40e-443f-4b44-ac84-526983d92b39/extremecloud-iq-data-sheet?kui=2qYJQBLLSMFlHTlUjgFbNA

On-premise (installed on local server) is subscription based.

You can’t adopt these APs by 3rd party controllers.

Thank you,

Chris
