58 WSS Setup Methods

WLAN Management Software

You can use WLAN Management Software to remotely configure a switch using one of the following
techniques:
• Drop ship—On model 2350 only, you can press the factory reset switch during power on until the right
LED above port 1 flashes for 3 seconds. Activating the factory reset causes the 2350 to bypass the Web
Quick Start and request its configuration from WLAN Management Software instead.
• Staged WSS—On any switch model, you can stage the switch to request its configuration from WLAN
Management Software , by preconfiguring IP parameters and enabling the auto-config option.
(These options are described in more detail in "Remote WSS Configuration" on page 67.)
You also can use WLAN Management Software to plan your network, create WSSs in the plan, then deploy
the switch configurations to the real switches. For information, see the following:
• Nortel WLAN Management Software User's Guide
• Nortel WLAN Management Software Reference Manual
To open a sample network plan, see
on page 77.

CLI

You can configure a switch using the CLI by attaching a PC to the switch's Console port. See the following:
• "Configuring a 2370, 2360, or 2380 Switch for Basic Service" on page 79
• "Configuring a 2350 Switch for a Branch Office" on page 125
• Nortel WLAN 2300 System Software Configuration Guide
After you configure the switch for SSH or Telnet access, you also can use these protocols to access the CLI.

Web View

You can use a switch's web management interface, Web View, to configure the switch. For access informa-
tion, see "Enabling and Logging Into Web View" on page
Note.
Web View is different from the Web Quick Start application. Web View is a
web-based management application that is available at any time on a switch that already
has IP connectivity. (Web View access also requires the switch's HTTPS server to be
enabled.) The Web Quick Start application is accessible only on unconfigured switches.
