Chapter 4: Quick Steps For Setup And Launch
Configure ‘Basic Settings’ And Start The Wireless Network
For a detailed description of these “Basic Settings” and how to properly configure
them, please see Chapter 5: “Configuring Basic Settings”. Summarized briefly
here, the steps are:
1. Review Description of this Access Point.
Provide IP addressing information. For more information, see “Review /
Describe The Access Point” on page 48.
2. Provide Network Settings.
Provide a new administrator password for clustered access points. For
more information, see “Provide Administrator Password And Wireless
Network Name” on page 49.
3. Set Configuration Policy for New Access Points.
Choose to configure new access points automatically (as new members of
the cluster) or ignore new access points.
If you set a configuration policy to configure new access points automati-
cally, new access points added to this network will join the cluster and be
configured automatically based on the settings you defined here. Updates
to the Network settings on any cluster member will be shared with all
other access points in the group.
If you chose to ignore new access points, then as you add new access
points they will run in standalone mode. In standalone mode, an access
point does not share the cluster configuration with other access points; it
must be configured manually.
You can always update the settings on a standalone access point to have it
join the cluster. You can also remove an access point from a cluster
thereby switching it to run in standalone mode.
For more information, see “Set Configuration Policy For New Access
Points” on page 50.
4. Start Wireless Networking.
Click the Update button to activate the wireless network with these new
settings. For more information, see “Update Basic Settings” on page 51.
