Step 7 - Configure the Module
You must configure the Module to assign user-specified WLANs to Radio Ports.
This section provides configuration examples using Normal Mode, which is
suitable in most cases. You simply configure and enable WLANs, and adopted
RPs begin to support those WLANs automatically. In Normal Mode
configuration, the Module and RPs are limited to 16 WLANs.
Advanced Mode is performed manually, to control WLAN assignment to Radio
Ports or to extend the number of WLANs. For more information, see the
Management and Configuration Guide for your Wireless Edge Services
Module.
Configuration 1 - Normal Mode with one WLAN and two radio
ports.
1. Configure a WLAN. While many optional settings can be configured, a
WLAN requires an SSID, a VLAN in which traffic will be forwarded, and
security options for authentication and encryption. To configure a WLAN,
go to Network Setup > WLAN Setup > Configuration.
