Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
Table 2 lists how many APs you can configure on a WSS, and how many APs a switch can boot. The numbers are for
directly connected and Distributed APs combined.
WSS 2380 40 AP Software License Upgrade
The License Certificate is used to provide a single software license and its associated License Activation Key. The
number of supported Access Points for your Nortel WLAN WSS 2380 will depend on the upgrade License Activation
Key that is installed and active. This License upgrade supports an additional 40 APs and is only valid for use on these
products running Version Software 4.0 and higher.
To enable the additional support of Access Points, you must obtain a License Activation Key from Nortel, and load the
License Activation Key into WLAN WSS 2380 to activate the support.
To use this certificate to obtain a License Activation Key, follow these instructions:
1 Record the serial number of the WSS 2380 on which you wish to enable the additional Access Points. To
display the switch’s serial number establish a management session with the WSS 2380. Use the CLI to
display the serial number, type the following command: show version (In the following example, the
switch serial number is 1234567890:
2380> show version
