Enable AP programming mode on the port(s) you will use for
configuring Alcatel APs:
Any switch port (or range) can be placed in AP Programming Mode. While in
AP Programming Mode, normal network traffic on the designated ports is sus-
pended. When AP configuration is complete, the AP Programming Mode must
be disabled so that the ports can resume their normal network functions.

port is available and is not connected to working APs or other networking
equipment.

port-range <Physical Switch Slot>/<Port>[-<End port of range)>]
For example, to set slot 2 port 1 for AP Programming Mode:

(Alcatel) (program-ap) # enable (Enable AP programming on the port)
