Is it possible to set up remote access point management from one Mikrotik management interface?

I want to set up a small network on Mikrotik. And you need wifi. You can take CRS125-24G-1S-2HnD-IN - 24 gigabit ports, Wi-Fi, everything you need. The problem is that the cabinet with the equipment will be far away and with good walls. You can just take CRS125-24G-1S-IN without Wi-Fi and some kind of access point, but you will need to configure them separately, which is inconvenient.
Actually the question is: is it possible to configure the management of a remote access point from one Mikrotik management interface? Those. so that the access point is configured in the switch as an internal wireless interface.
Threat There is no particular inconvenience, you can use separate settings. There may already be such a solution, so why not use it.

Leaving aside the hardware selection details (and leaving it up to you), the answer to your question is to use CapsMan.
With it, you can configure access points, channels, security, and let traffic through one device to make it easier to route and filter. Then the traffic arriving from the access point really on the switch will come through a separate interface.

Tell me what exactly is the inconvenience of a separate setting of the router and access point?
In addition, with the right settings, it is unlikely that you will reconfigure the equipment every day.
And if CRS125-24G-1S-2HnD-IN is planned as a router, then this is not the best solution.

I think crs is better to use as a switch, not a router.
In your case, I think it makes sense to consider hex as a router and an access point in the form of wAP ac BE.
