Managing Mobility Integrating WLAN Controllers with the Mobility Router

ShoreTel Mobility Router Administration Guide 115
To add a WLAN controller:
1. Select Configuration > Mobility > WLAN Controllers. The WLAN Controllers page displays.
2. Click Add. The Add WLAN Controller page displays.
3. In the IP Address field, type the IP address of the WLAN controller, and click Add. You can add
multiple IP addresses.
4. In the Community String field, type the community string defined for the WLAN controller. The
Mobility Router sends a query to get information from the controller. The community string that you
specify here must match the community string defined on the WLAN controller.
5. In the Vendor list, select the maker of the WLAN controller used in your network.
6. To enable Auto RF, which allows the Mobility Router to automatically get SNMP trap information
about transmit power from the controller, select the Auto RF check box. By default, this option is
selected. To disable Auto RF, clear the Auto RF check box. This option is valid only if you are
using the Cisco and Aruba controllers.
 The Mobility Router IP address is defined as a trap receiver. If you enabled a redundancy cluster,
use the virtual IP address of the cluster as the trap receiver.
 For Cisco controllers, the TX Power Update trap must also be enabled.
As long as you have the previous items configured on the WLAN controller, you do not need to
retake calibrations for previous calibrations, even if TX power values have been manually or
automatically changed.
7. To enable synchronization of location information (for example, campus, building, floor, and so on)
from the WLAN controller with enterprise location information manually created, select the
Synchronize Enterprise Locations check box. By default, this option is not selected. To disable this
option, clear the Synchronize Enterprise Locations check box.
8. To save your changes, click Apply.
After the Auto RF option was enabled when you added a WLAN controller, you must configure the
WLAN controller so that one of its SNMP trap receivers is the Mobility Router. For more information,
see “Configuring the Mobility Router as an SNMP Trap Receiver on the WLAN Controller” on
page 116.
Tip
If you select Auto RF and the controller supports the automatic RF feature, you do not need to retake
calibrations for calibrations that were taken previously if you have the following configured on the
controller.
Note
This option is valid only if enterprise location information is supported and configured for the WLAN
controller.
