Installation Guide 23 5. Click the Login button to load the management interface. NOTE When logging in for the first time, you’re prompted to change the password to enhance device security in subsequent logins. NOTE If you get disconnected when running the wizard, you can connect again with the access point’s actual IP address (once obtained) and resume the wizard. 6. Select the Start Wizard button to run the initial setup wizard.
AP6522 Access Point The first page of the Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Navigation Panel and Introduction for the configuration activities comprising the access point's initial setup A green checkmark to the left of an item in the Navigation Panel defines the listed task as having its minimum required configuration parameters set correctly. A red X defines the task as still requiring at least one parameter be defined correctly.
Installation Guide 25 The Introduction screen displays a list of the basic configuration activities supported by the Initial Setup Wizard. 8. Select Save/Commit within each page to save the updates made to that page's configuration. Select Next to proceed to the next page listed in the Navigation Panel. Select Back to revert to the previous screen in the Navigation Panel without saving your updates.
AP6522 Access Point 10. Select an Access Point Type from the following options: • Virtual Controller AP - When more than one access point is deployed, a single access point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 access points can be connected to, and managed by, a single Virtual Controller AP of the same AP6522 model. • Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this access point as an autonomous fat access point.
Installation Guide 27 you’ll also need to define whether the access point receives an IP address using DHCP or if IP resources are provided statically. 11. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Access Point Mode screen to define the access point's routing or bridging mode functionality.
AP6522 Access Point 12. Select an Access Point Mode from the available options. • Router Mode - In Router Mode, the access point routes traffic between the local network (LAN) and the Internet or external network (WAN). Router mode is recommended in a deployment supported by just a single access point. • Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, the AP depends on an external router for routing LAN and WAN traffic. Routing is generally used on one device, whereas bridging is typically used in a larger network.
Installation Guide 29 14. Set the following DHCP and Static IP Address/Subnet information for the LAN interface: • Use DHCP - Select the checkbox to enable an automatic network address configuration using the access point’s DHCP server. • Static IP Address/Subnet - Enter an IP Address and a subnet for the access point's LAN interface. If Use DHCP is selected, this field is not available.
AP6522 Access Point • DNS Forwarding - Select this option to allow a DNS server to translate domain names into IP addresses. If this option is not selected, a primary and secondary DNS resource must be specified. DNS forwarding is useful when a request for a domain name is made but the DNS server, responsible for converting the name into its corresponding IP address, cannot locate the matching IP address.
Installation Guide 31 • Enable NAT on the WAN Interface - Select the checkbox to allow traffic to pass between the access point's WAN and LAN interfaces. 17. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Radio Configuration screen to define support for the 2.4GHz radio band, 5GHz radio band or to set the radio's functionality as a dedicated sensor. NOTE The ADSP Sensor Server field displays at the bottom of the screen only if a radio has been dedicated as a sensor. 18.
AP6522 Access Point • Channel Mode - Select either Random, Best or Static. Select Random for use with a 802.11an radio. To comply with Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements in the European Union, the 802.11an radio uses a randomly selected channel each time the access point is powered on. Select Best to enable the access point to scan non-overlapping channels and listen for beacons from other access points.
Installation Guide 33 20. Set the following parameters for each of the two WLAN configurations available as part of this Initial AP Setup Wizard: • SSID - Enter or modify the Services Set Identification (SSID) associated with the WLAN. The WLAN name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum number of characters is 32. Do not use < > | “ & \ ? , This is a required parameter for each WLAN.
AP6522 Access Point 22. Refer to the Username, Password, Description and Actions columns to review credentials of existing RADIUS Server user accounts. Add new accounts or edit the properties of existing accounts as updates are required. 23. Refer to the Add On-Board RADIUS Server Users field to set the following parameters for a user account: • Username - If adding a new user account, create a username up to X characters in length. The username cannot be revised if modifying the user configuration.
Installation Guide 35 24. When completed, select Add User to commit a new user, Modify User to commit a modified user or Reset to clear the screen without updating the configuration. Selecting Reset clears the field of all entered user account information. 25. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Country/Date/Time screen to set device deployment, administrative contact and system time information.
AP6522 Access Point • Time Zone - Set the time zone where the access point is deployed. This is a required parameter. The setting should be complimentary with the selected deployment country. 27. If an NTP resource is unavailable, set the System Date and Time (calendar date, time and AM/PM designation). 28. Optionally enter the IP address of a server used to provide system time to the access point.
Installation Guide 37 If the configuration displays as intended, select the Save/Commit button to implement these settings to the access point’s configuration. If additional changes are warranted based on the summary, either select the target page from the Navigational Panel, or use the Back and Next buttons to scroll to the target screen For information on how use a Motorola Solutions RFS Series controller to manage an AP6522 access point, refer to http://supportcentral.motorola.
