CAPsMAN allows applying wireless settings to multiple MikroTik AP devices from a central configuration interface.

More specifically, the Controlled Access Point system Manager (CAPsMAN) allows centralization of wireless network management and if necessary, data processing. When using the CAPsMAN feature, the network will consist of a number of 'Controlled Access Points' (CAP) that provide wireless connectivity and a 'system Manager' (CAPsMAN) that manages the configuration of the APs, it also takes care of client authentication and optionally, data forwarding.

Note that CAP can be manually "locked" to CAPsMAN by setting caps-man-certificate-common-names.
