1. If you are configuring a Wi-Fi uplink after restoring factory settings on an AP, connect the AP to an Ethernet
cable to allow the AP to get the IP address. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2. Select Wireless Configuration > System. The System details are displayed.
3. Select UPLINK and under WiFi, enter the name of the wireless network that is used for Wi-Fi uplink in the
NAME (SSID) box.
4. From MANAGEMENT, select the type of key for uplink encryption and authentication. If the uplink wireless
router uses mixed encryption, WPA-2 is recommended for Wi-Fi uplink.
5. From BAND, select the band in which the VC currently operates. The following options are available:
l 2.4 GHz (default)
l 5 GHz
6. From PASSPHRASE FORMAT, select a Passphrase format. The following options are available:
l 8 - 63 alphanumeric characters
l 64 hexadecimal characters
Ensure that the hexadecimal password string is exactly 64 digits in length.
7. Enter a pre-shared key (PSK) passphrase in PASSPHRASE and click OK.
Ethernet uplink
The Ethernet 0 port on anAP is enabled as an uplink port by default.
Ethernet uplink supports the following:
n PPPoE
n DHCP
n Static IP
You can use PPPoE for your uplink connectivity in a single AP deployment.
Uplink redundancy with the PPPoE link is not supported.
When the Ethernet link is up, it is used as a PPPoE or DHCP uplink. After the PPPoE settings are configured,
PPPoE has the highest priority for the uplink connections. The AP can establish a PPPoE session with a PPPoE
server at the ISP and get authenticated using PAP or the CHAP. Depending upon the request from the PPPoE
server, either the PAP or the CHAP credentials are used for authentication. After configuring PPPoE, reboot the
AP for the configuration to take effect. The PPPoE connection is dialed after the AP comes up. The PPPoE
configuration is checked during AP boot and if the configuration is correct, Ethernet is used for the uplink
connection.
When PPPoE is used, do not configure Dynamic RADIUS Proxy and IP address of the VC. An SSID created with default
VLAN is not supported with PPPoE uplink.
You can also configure an alternate Ethernet uplink to enable uplink failover when an Ethernet port fails.
Configuring PPPoE uplink profile
