If no other APs are to be configured, disable the AP program-

ming mode:

This will return all AP programming ports to their previously defined network

settings.

NOTE—If the AP programming mode is not disabled after provisioning is com-

plete, the affected switch ports will not work properly for normal network

operations.

Manual AP Provisioning

APs can be individually provisioned using a terminal connected directly to the

AP serial port. This method should be used only as a last resort, as it provides

no command error feedback and can result in misconfiguring the AP if not per-

formed correctly.

Details on manually performing initial setup and configuration of the AP can be

found in the Alcatel AP Installation Guide and the Alcatel AOS-W User’s Guide.

AP Reprovisioning

The following reprovisioning commands can be used to make configuration

changes to APs which are already configured and deployed.

OTE—Reprovisioning does not require AP programming mode to be enabled

on the Wireless LAN switch ports. Do not use the AP programming

sub-mode port-range or enable commands for reprovisioning, as this will dis-

rupt normal network operation.

Enter the AP programming sub-mode on the switch:

Read the current information from the deployed APs you wish to

reprovision.

You can repeat this command for as many deployed APs as you wish. The

configuration information for each AP will be added to the AP provisioning list,

which can be displayed using show provisioning-ap-list command.
