• Is it normal that they try to reach an Amazon server (AWS).  (Phone Home...?)  This is a new installation, and it did trigger the IPS System of the customer.  The customer does not tolerate any cloud base "Phone home feature" from any of the products use at the site.   I will have to filter them out with firewall or replace the TP-Link EAPs.

Yes, it's normal, because the EAP needs to access the cloud, otherwise you can only use the AP on the local LAN.

Do you have more information on the feature ?  Or can that be simply explained ?

The client was under the impression that when the "Cloud Access" was disabled in the OC200, only the OC200 was accessing to check the version of various software.   In fact, he will have liked to have a trigger (an option in the software controller) he can control as to when these checks are done.

I will certainly have to explain it in detail as this client is migrating to TP-LInk because of the mandatory "Phone Home"  of his current solution.
