Access Point Setup November 14, 2007

Posted by bwallace in : wireless , comments closed

This is how to setup a factory default access point for the Savannah SCAD network.

  1. Configure a network port to be untagged on the 17 vlan
  2. Connect access point and if it is not on a POE switch either install power injector or just plug the AP into a wall outlet. It takes a few minutes for an access point to boot up.
  3. Open Wavelink Mobile Manager and wait for the access point to show up in the “10.17.0.0″ folder
  4.  Once it appears, right click on the new access point and go down to assign to profile and select the profile that corresponds to your AP’s model for example “SCAD ap700 v3.1 no auth”
  5.  The access point should reset at this point
  6. While the access point is resetting, change the vlan of the network port to be tagged on the 17 and 170 vlans
  7.  Once the access point finishes rebooting remove it from the profile group. Currently if you leave it in the profile group it will not keep the IP you assign it.
  8. Move the access point to the correct building folder in Wavelink
  9. After it is moved, right click on the AP and left click on properties
  10. Click on advance
  11. Open the system tab and go to system name and change the name to the correct name then hit ok
  12. Right click on the AP and then left click on it to set the IP address. Enter the correct IP based on the location.
  13. Make sure to document correctly before installing AP
