This chapter describes the methods you can use to configure a WSS, and refers you to information for each method.
Depending on your configuration needs, you can use one or a combination of these methods.
Note.
For easy installation, use one of the quick-start methods described in this chapter
instead of using the CLI instructions in later chapters in the manual.

Overview

WSS Software provides the following quick-start methods for new (unconfigured) switches:
• Web Quick Start (2350 and 2360 only)
• CLI quickstart command
You can use either quick-start method to configure a switch to provide wireless service. You also can use any of the
following management applications to configure a new switch or to continue configuration of a partially configured
switch:
• WLAN Management Software
• CLI
• Web View

Quick Starts

The Web Quick Start enables you to easily configure a 2350 or 2360 switch to provide wireless access to up to ten users.
The Web Quick Start is accessible only on unconfigured 2350 and 2360 switches. The interface is not available on other
switch models or on any switch that is already configured.
The quickstart command enables you to configure a 2350, 2360, 2370, or 2361 switch to provide wireless access to any
number of users.
