Click the Config button, and configure the pre-shared key as follows. o o ASCII passphrase: procurve Enable all three Fast Roaming options (PMK caching, Opportunistic key caching, Pre-authentication). 4. Click OK to return to the main Edit window. 5. In the main Edit window, under Advanced, select Closed System, then click OK. 6. Finally, to enable the new WLAN, at the bottom of the WLAN list window click the Enable button. 4.

Or enter the network address statically: 12. DHCP: Off ( it is On by default, so you have to disable it) 13. Phone IP address: 10.1.10.100 14. Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 15. Default gateway: 10.1.10.1 16. DNS Servers: 10.3.156.11 Then click on back.

Interoperability between ProCurve WESM zl and Avaya 3631 wireless phone To enable self-healing: 1. From the Special Features > Self Healing > Configuration tab, check the Enable Neighbor Recovery box, then click Apply. 2. Then from the Neighbor Details tab click Detect Neighbors. 3. You can now edit an RP radio to check that the other radios with same 802.11 mode (a or b/g) have been listed as neighbors. 5.

The phone should lose one or two pings, then subsequent pings should be successful again as the phone connects to the other RP. You can view from Device Information/Wireless stations on the WESMzl that the Radio Index has changed ( here it is now 1 instead of 3). 5.

Click OK to accept Automatic/WMM as the Access Category. Wireless traffic is placed in the four queues according to its 802.1p priority (default) or DSCP value. Note that for each queue, four parameters are defined: o AIFSN, Arbitration IFS Number, the default time before countdown.
