Parameters section. If you want to use an External antenna for the remote AP you are provisioning, select
External Antenna and define settings for that antenna. Otherwise, the remote AP will use its internal
antenna by default.
5. If your AP will use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) to authenticate itself to a service provider,
select the PPPoE Parameters checkbox and enter the following PPPoE values:
l PPPoE User Name: Set the PPPoE User Name for this remote AP.
l PPPoE Password: Enter and then confirm the PPPoE password for this remote AP.
l PPPoE Service Name: Either an ISP name or a class of service configured on the PPPoE server.
6. (Optional) To allow the remote AP to use PEAP to authenticate to 802.1X networks, enter a user name and
password in the 802.1X Parameter using PEAP section.
7. In the Master Discovery section, define how the AP should identify its WLAN controller. For more
information on the different controller discovery methods, see Enable Controller Discovery on page 522.
8. (Optional) Define the uplink VLAN. If you configure an uplink VLAN on an AP connected to a port in trunk
mode, the AP sends and receives frames tagged with this VLAN on its Ethernet uplink. To define the uplink
VLAN, entering a VLAN ID from 1-4095 (inclusive) in the IP Settings section of the Provisioning window,
9. In the IP Settings section, define how the AP should obtain its IP address. If you have configured an DHCP
server to allow APs to get addresses using DHCP, select Obtain IP address using DHCP. For more
information on configuring a DHCP server, see Enable DHCP to Provide APs with IP Addresses on page 523.
Otherwise, select Use the Following IP address and enter the appropriate values in the following fields:
l IP address: IP address for the AP, in dotted-decimal format
l Subnet mask: Subnet mask for the IP, in dotted-decimal format.
l Gateway IP address: The IP address the AP uses to reach other networks.
l DNS IP address: The IP address of the Domain Name Server.
l Domain name: (optional) The default domain name.
10.(Optional) Access points can be configured in single-chain mode, allowing the radios of those APs to
transmit and receive data using only legacy rates and single-stream HT and VHT rates on a single radio chain
and single antenna or antenna interface. On APs with external antennas, this feature uses the external
antenna interface labeled A0 or ANT0 (radio chain 0); the other (one or two) antenna interfaces are left
unused. If you are provisioning an 802.11n-capable AP, select the Enable for Radio-0 or Enable for
Radio-1 checkboxes in the Single-Chain Mode section to enable single-chain mode for the selected radio.
AP radios in single-chain mode will transmit and receive data using only legacy rates and single-stream HT
rates up to MCS 7. This feature is disabled by default.
11.(Optional) If you are provisioning a campus AP model that support USB modems, you must complete the
fields in the USB Settings section. USB settings will not appear in the Provisioning tab unless you are
provisioning an AP that support these features. Check the USB Parameters checkbox and configure the
additional cellular USB settings described in Table 115.
12.(Optional) Define the AP name or SNMP location. The AP list section displays current information for an AP,
and allows you to define additional parameters for your AP, such as AP Name, SNMP System Location.
13.Click Apply and Reboot. (Reprovisioning the AP causes it to automatically reboot).
