7. Click Add. The IP address is added to the list.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add additional HiPath Wireless Controllers.
9. 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.
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 97.
10. To save your changes, click Save.
4.4.7 Configuring Telnet/SSH Access
If you are configuring a static IP address either for the Wireless AP or Outdoor
Wireless AP, you must ensure that Telnet Access is Enabled on the Wireless
AP Configuration screen.
Note: The new telnet access password that you set up over the controller’s user
interface overrides the default telnet access password.
To enable or disable telnet access:
1. From the main menu, click Wireless AP Configuration. The Wireless AP
Configuration screen is displayed.
2. In the Wireless AP list, click the Wireless AP for which you want to enable or
disable telnet.
3. Click Advanced. The Advanced dialog is displayed.
4. In the Telnet Access drop-down list, click one of the following:
• Enable – Enables telnet access
• Disable – Disables telnet access
Note: The option to enable or disable Telnet Access will only be displayed
if the Wireless AP is a Standard Wireless AP or Outdoor AP. For 11n Wireless
APs, SSH is always enabled by default.
