1. A system comprising:

  • an interface device to receive from a remote client computing device configuration settings for a plurality of access point devices, wherein the plurality of access point devices includes first and second sets of access point devices, the first set of access point devices provisioned to communicate on a first communication protocol and the second set of access point devices provisioned to communicate on a second communication protocol that is incompatible with the first communication protocol; and

    one or more processors coupled to the interface device, the one or more processors being configured to implement a management controller, the management control controller comprising;

    a communication layer module to communicate with the first set of access points using the first communication protocol and to communicate with the second set of access points using the second communication protocol; and

    an abstraction layer module to apply one or more configuration commands using the communication layer module to remotely configure at least one of the plurality of access point devices from the first or second set based on the configuration settings received at the interface device.
