4. To configure common configuration applicable to all Wireless APs, click the
Common Configuration tab.
5. In the Static Configuration section, do one of the following:
• To allow each Wireless AP to provide its own HWC Search List, select the
Learn HWC Search List from AP checkbox.
• To specify a common HWC Search List for all Wireless APs, clear the
Learn HWC Search List from AP checkbox, and then do the following:
a) In the Add box, type the IP address of the HiPath Wireless Controller
that will control this Wireless AP.
b) Click Add. The IP address is added to the list.
c) Repeat steps a and b to add additional HiPath Wireless Controllers.
d) Click Up and Down to modify the order of the HiPath Wireless
Controllers. The maximum is three controllers.
The Wireless AP attempts to connect to the IP addresses in the order in
which they are listed. The Wireless AP is successful when it finds a
HiPath Wireless Controller that will allow it to register.
This feature allows the Wireless AP to bypass the discovery process. If
the Wireless Controller Search List box
is not populated, the Wireless
AP will use SLP to discover a HiPath Wireless Controller.
The DHCP function for wireless clients must be provided locally by a local
DHCP server, unless each wireless client has a static IP address.
For the initial Wireless AP deployment, it is necessary to use one of the
described options in Section 4.2, “Discovery and registration overview”,
on page 71.
6. In the VNS Assignments section, assign the radios for each VNS in the list
by selecting or clearing the options.
7. To configure default Wireless AP settings for only the Wireless AP 2610/2620
and HiPath Wireless Outdoor AP, click the Standard AP Defaults tab.
