We use Omada Software Controller to manage all the AP devices in our organization. In our company network, all the network equipments except the APs are from other brands. Can we use the controller software to manage the devices in the branch site while the software is running on a machine which is running in the head office network? 

 

I tried to access the branch site network via SSL VPN; however, it does not work.

the units cannot find the controller by themselves, if you have vpn between the sites you can use dhcp option 138 to tell where the controller is.

there is also a tool you can use on a PC on the site where the access points are to tell the access points where the controller is called Omada Discovery Utility.

You will find more information about this and much more here.

Do you want to use the same controller to administer other access points that are in another location? yes, there is no problem, you can create many sites on an Omada controller and adopt devices to it from remote sites.

  @MR.S,

 

I use Omada Software Controller to manage the devices:

 

When I launch it, all the devices at the branch site are shown as DISCONNECTED.

 

I also tried to use Omada Cloud to access the devices at the branch office, status of the devices at the site are also shown as DISCONNECTED:
