Getting started
These instructions provide installation technicians with a high-
level overview for installing the Summit
®
WM200/2000
Controller.
Unpack the controller:
1 Lift the controller, in its protective foam casing, straight up
and out of the carton.
2 Lay the controller on a flat surface and slide off the foam
casing.
3 Confirm that your carton contains all of the appropriate
content.
Carton contents:
● One controller
● Two mounting brackets
● Eight M3x6 lens head machine screws
● Four self-adhesive rubber feet
● One crossover RJ45 Ethernet cable (for installation)

Step 1 – Mount
WARNING!
Do not obstruct the ventilation grills of the controller.
Two mounting options are available, rack and table.
Rack mounting:
1 Attach the mounting brackets to the controller mounting
holes.
2 Attach the brackets to the rack.
Table mounting:
3 Ensure at least 2 inches of clearance on all sides of the
controller for proper ventilation.
Glue the four rubber feet to the stamped positions on the
bottom of the controller.
Mounting holes
Step 2 – Connect to a power supply
Connect the two power cords to the controller.
NOTE
If only one power cord is connected, the disconnected power supply LED
is illuminated red.
Power off the controller:
● If necessary, to power off the controller first use the
Command Line Interface (CLI) commands or the Summit WM
Graphical User Interface (GUI). This operation halts the
operation of the controller software.
To complete powering off the controller, a manual power reset on
the controller box is required to cycle the hardware.
Step 3 – Configure Management interface
This step is optional. You can retain the default IP address of the
controller Management port if you do not intend on connecting
the controller to your enterprise network.
Before you connect the controller to the enterprise network,
change the IP address of the controller Management port from its
factory defaults to the IP address suitable for the enterprise
network. To access the controller, use a laptop computer with a
browser. Connect the crossover Ethernet cable between the laptop
and Management Ethernet port of the controller. Follow the steps
below.
NOTE
To use the flash memory card capabilities of the controller, remove the
cover of the flash memory card from the controller and then insert a flash
memory card. Always wear an ESD wristband when inserting or removing a
flash memory card. A flash memory card is not shipped with your
controller.
1 Statically assign an unused IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24
subnet for the Ethernet port of the laptop.
2 Launch your Web browser, and in the browser address bar,
type
https://192.168.10.1:5825. This launches the Summit
WM GUI. The logon screen appears.
3 In the User Name box, type
admin, and in the Password box,
type
abc123.
4 Click Login.
5 From the main menu, click WM-AD Configuration.
6 In the left pane, click IP Addresses.
7 In the Management Port Settings section, click Modify.
Management Port Console Port
Configure Management interface
8 Type the following information:
● Hostname – The name of the controller
● Domain – The IP domain name of the enterprise network
● Management IP Address – The new IP address for the
controller’s Management port. Change this as appropriate
for the enterprise network.
● Subnet mask – The appropriate subnet mask for the IP
address to separate the network portion from the host
portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0)
● Management Gateway – The default gateway of the
network
● Primary DNS – The primary DNS server used by the
network
● Secondary DNS – The secondary DNS server used by the
network
9 To save your changes and disconnect the Web connection
between the laptop and the controller, click Ok.
The IP addresses are now set to the network you defined.
10 Disconnect your laptop from the controller Management port.
11 Connect the controller Management port to the enterprise
Ethernet LAN. The controller resets automatically.
12 Log on to the Summit WM GUI. The system is visible to the
enterprise network.
Step 4 – Configure your system
These seven steps provide a high-level overview for configuring
your system. For more detailed information on each
configuration step, see the Summit WM User Guide (CD).
1 – Before you begin configuration:
Research the type of WLAN deployment that is required. For
example, SSIDs, security requirements, and filter policies.
2 – Prepare the network:
Ensure relevant DHCP servers and RADIUS servers (if
applicable) are available and configured.
3 – Configure the physical port IP:
● Enable the interface. To manage the controller though the
interface, enable Allow management.
● Configure the default IP address to be the relevant subnet
point of attachment to the existing network, and setup the
routing protocol and table. The default IP address is
10.0.#.1.
● To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define
the VLAN as part of the IP address assignment.
4 – Select the country and time zone:
Log on to the Summit WM GUI and select the country and time
zone, and then restart the controller.
NOTE
The controller’s clock settings are lost if the controller is powered down
for more than 72 hours.
Data Ports
Configure your system
5 – Install the controller license:
Install the license and confirm the latest firmware version is
loaded.
6 – Configure the WM-AD:
Research and configure the traffic topologies the network will
support.
7 – Install, register, and assign APs to the WM-AD:
● Confirm the latest firmware version is loaded.
● Deploy APs to their corresponding network locations. If
applicable, configure a default AP template for common radio
and WM-AD assignment.
● For information on installing and powering the wireless APs,
see the Altitude AP Installation Instructions.
Safety Information
WARNING!
Warnings identify information that is essential. Ignoring a warning can
adversely affect the operation of your equipment or software.
● Only authorized Extreme Networks
®
service personnel are
permitted to service the system.
● The controller is shipped with a hardware serial shunt
between its two cards. For technical support reasons, this
shunt should not be removed.
● Ensure that your system is grounded according to your
country’s electrical grounding code requirements.
● Use only original accessories or components approved for the
system. Failure to observe these instructions may damage the
equipment or even violate safety and EMC regulations.
● This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with
outdoor wiring.
● To avoid electrical shock, disconnect all power supply cords
before servicing. In the case of unit failure of one of the
power supply modules, the module can be replaced without
interruption of power to the controller. However, this
procedure must be carried out with caution. Wear gloves to
avoid contact with the module, which will be extremely hot.
● Disconnect all power before working near power supplies
unless otherwise instructed by a maintenance procedure.
● Do not power off the controller using the power button.
Instead, to power off the controller use the Command Line
Interface (CLI) commands or the Summit WM GUI.
● Exercise caution when servicing hot swappable controller
components: power supplies or fans. Rotating fans can cause
serious personal injury.
● Check the nominal voltage set for the equipment (operating
instructions and type plate). High voltages capable of causing
shock are used in this equipment. Exercise caution when
measuring high voltages and when servicing cards, panels,
and boards while the system is powered on.
● To protect electrostatic sensitive devices, wear a wristband
before carrying out any work on hardware.
● For system regulatory information, see the Summit WM User
Guide (CD).
