Single Controller Configuration With Advanced Profile Groups - NETGEAR ProSAFE WC7500 User Manual

Single Controller Configuration With Advanced Profile Groups

A more complex configuration consists of a single wireless controller that controls a collection
of access points that are organized in access point profile groups and might use several
profiles in each access point profile group.

To set up a single wireless controller system with advanced profile groups:
Step Configuration
1. Configure the system and network settings of the wireless
controller:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
2. Configure the time settings.
3. Configure the IP address of the wireless controller.
4. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged.
By default, VLAN 1 an untagged management VLAN.
5. If no network DHCP server is accessible to the access points,
configure the wireless controller's DHCP server.
2. Configure up to eight access point profile groups, and for each
access point profile in a group, do at least the following:
1. Configure an SSID for WiFi access.
2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3. Assign the VLAN.
4. If necessary for the selected network authentication option,
configure the authentication server.
3. Run the Discovery Wizard and add the access points to the
managed access point list.
4. Assign the access points to the access point profile groups (also
referred to as WLAN groups).
