TP-Link OC300 Omada Hardware Controller

Central Omada Management for a Larger Network The TP-Link OC300 gives a larger Omada installation a dedicated controller that can sit in the communications rack alongside the network it manages. Configure compatible access points, switches and gateways from one interface, monitor activity and organise maintenance across sites. Built-in AC power, Gigabit network connections and USB backup support make it a practical appliance for a professionally managed deployment. It runs the controller locally, with supported cloud access available for remote administration. Highlights Dedicated Network Management Central configuration for supported Omada access points, gateways and switches. Controller software runs on the appliance without a separate computer. Visibility Across the Site Network topology, device information, alerts and supported statistics. Local management and supported remote access. Practical Deployment Internal supply; 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, rated input 0.6A. This is an input rating, not measured consumption. Rackmount kit included. Key Features Give Omada Management a Dedicated Home The controller keeps the management application on a purpose-built appliance. Adopt supported devices, apply network settings and organise maintenance through one interface. It works alongside the gateway, switching and access points; those devices still provide the network connections and wireless coverage. Choose a Sensible Management Scale Current global specification: up to 500 Omada access points, 100 Omada gateways and 100 switches. Up to 5 supported DeltaStream GPON OLTs; each added OLT reduces the switch allowance by 5. Actual limits depend on controller release and device mix. Recommended scale and headline maximum device counts are different. Allow headroom for the device mix, software features and growth, and check the supported controller release before a larger deployment. Review the Network from One Place Supported topology views, device statistics, events and alerts help a Specialist understand the installation and investigate a problem. Central configuration and firmware tools reduce repetitive work across compatible devices. The controller must be reachable for functions that depend on it. Organise Guests and Different Sites Supported captive portals, authentication and site configuration help keep guest access separate from business networks. Enforcement also depends on the adopted gateway, switches and access points. Match the device features and software release to the required policy rather than assuming every managed device has the same functions. Keep Control Locally with Remote Access Available The management application runs locally, with supported Omada app and cloud access for remote administration. Local hardware-controller cloud access does not require a per-device cloud-controller subscription. Separately chosen cloud services can have different terms; keep accounts, firmware and configuration backups maintained. Plan the Power and Connection Internal supply; 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, rated input 0.6A. This is an input rating, not measured consumption. The controller coordinates compatible devices; it does not replace the gateway, provide Wi-Fi radios or power access points. Connect it to the management network and maintain reliable power. USB backup functions depend on the supported release, storage device and power method. Summary The OC300 suits an Omada network that benefits from a dedicated local management appliance. Choose it around the supported device mix, management scale and installation requirements. With reliable power and a maintained configuration, it gives the network team a consistent place to monitor the site and carry out planned changes. Frequently Asked Questions Is this a router or Wi-Fi access point? Expand Collapse No. It is a network controller. A gateway handles routing and internet access, access points provide Wi-Fi, and a suitable switch or injector powers PoE devices. Do I need to leave a computer running? Expand Collapse No. The controller application runs on this appliance. You still need a browser or the supported Omada app to configure and monitor it. Which Omada devices can it manage? Expand Collapse Only models and hardware/firmware versions supported by the installed controller release. Check the exact access points, switches, gateways and requested functions before deployment. How many devices should I plan for? Expand Collapse Current global specification: up to 500 Omada access points, 100 Omada gateways and 100 switches. Up to 5 supported DeltaStream GPON OLTs; each added OLT reduces the switch allowance by 5. Actual limits depend on controller release and device mix. Does it require a cloud subscription? Expand Collapse The local hardware controller and its supported cloud access do not require a per-device Omada cloud-controller subscription. Optional third-party or separately selected cloud services can have their own fees and conditions. What power and installation items are included? Expand Collapse OC300, Ethernet cable, power cord, rackmount kit and Quick Installation Guide. Internal supply; 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, rated input 0.6A. This is an input rating, not measured consumption. 続きを読む
