Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System
This chapter describes how to connect a WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch and access
points (APs) to your wired network.
It includes the following topics:
• “Configuration Overview” on page 2-1
• “Configuring the WFS709TP” on page 2-5
• “Deploying APs” on page 2-14
• “Additional Configuration” on page 2-20
Configuration Overview
This section describes the tasks you need to perform in connecting a WFS709TP and APs to your
wired network in three typical deployment scenarios.
Deployment Scenario #1
In the deployment scenario shown in Figure 2-1, the APs and WFS709TP are on the same
subnetwork and will use IP addresses assigned to the subnetwork. There are no routers between
the APs and the WFS709TP; APs can be physically connected directly to the WFS709TP. The
uplink port on the WFS709TP is connected to a Layer 2 switch or router.
You need to perform the following tasks:
1. Run the initial setup (see“Run the Initial Setup” on page 2-6).
