A read-write enumeration setting how a branch-office access point locates its access controller, either autoDiscovery(1), using service discovery, or staticConnect(2), using a manually configured address. This determines whether the AP finds its controller automatically on the network or must be told exactly where to connect, which matters in branch deployments where automatic discovery may not traverse WAN links reliably. An admin deploying an AP across a WAN link to a remote data center controller would likely set this to staticConnect(2) and configure the controller's address explicitly via the branchOfficeWMTable.
