UNIVERGE WL Access Point (External-Antenna) Quick Installation Guide
Configuration Steps for an UNIVERGE WL AP or UNIVERGE WL
1200R
Configuration Steps for an UNIVERGE WL AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R
1.
Configure the Internet Software Consortium (ISC) V3.0pl1 DHCP Server
to provide the vendor-specific Option 43 using the following entries:
option airespace-controller code 43 = text;
option airespace-controller "Airespace-Controller:
<Switch IP Address>";
in which <Switch IP Address> is the IP address of the UNIVERGE WL
Wireless Controller you are going to use to prepare the UNIVERGE WL
AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R.
(These commands direct all unconfigured UNIVERGE WL APs and
UNIVERGE WL 1200Rs discovery messages to the configuring UNIVERGE
WL Wireless Controller.)
2.
Make sure the configuring UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller is in
LWAPP Layer 3 Mode, that if the configuring UNIVERGE WL Wireless
Controller is in the same mobility group as the planned Primary
UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller, and that the configuring UNIVERGE
WL Wireless Controller's DS Port is connected to the network. Use CLI,
Web Browser and/or WLCS procedures as described in the UNIVERGE
WL Wireless Controller Quick Installation Guide.
3.
Also make sure that the DHCP server is configured in the UNIVERGE WL
Wireless Controller for both the Management Interface and AP-Manager
Interface using the CLI, Web Browser, or WLCS user interface.
When you are installing a UNIVERGE WL 1200R or a UNIVERGE WL AP, a
DHCP server must be accessible by the UNIVERGE WL 1200R or a
UNIVERGE WL AP.
4.
Take the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R out of the box and plug it into the
network so that it can request an IP address from the DHCP server.
5.
Apply power to the AP:
-
Use 802.3af-compliant Power Over Ethernet (PoE) from the
UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller or from an orderable inline
power injector. If you do not have PoE available, use an
orderable external AC-to-48 VDC Power Supply plugged into the
side of the AP.
-
After powering up the AP, the RED Alarm LED comes on for a
short period (about 15-20 seconds) and then all the LEDs blink
sequentially back and forth, indicating that the AP is trying to
find a UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller to connect to. This can
continue for up to five minutes. If the AP remains in this mode
for more than five minutes, the AP is unable to find the Master
UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller. Check the connection
between the AP and the UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller and
make sure the AP and the UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller are
on the same subnet.
-
If the power light does not come on, check the power (it can be
powered either with Power over Ethernet or a from an orderable
AP External Power Supply.
