option controller code 43 = text;
option controller "<Switch IP Address>";
in which <Switch IP Address> is the IP address of the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance
you are going to use to prepare the OmniAccess AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R, or which can be
a comma-delimited string of Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance IP addresses.
(These commands direct all unconfigured OmniAccess APs and OmniAccess 1200R APs
discovery messages to the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance.)
2.
Make sure the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance is in LWAPP Layer 3 Mode,
that if the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance is in the same mobility group as
the planned
Primary Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or
OmniAccess Switch or Appliance's DS Port is connected to the network. Use CLI, Web Browser
and/or ACS procedures as described in the
Installation Guide
3.
Also make sure that the DHCP server is configured in the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appli-
ance for both the Management Interface and AP-Manager Interface using the CLI, Web
Browser, or ACS user interface.
Note:
When you are installing a OmniAccess AP 1200R or an OmniAccess AP, a DHCP server
must be accessible by the OmniAccess AP 1200R or an OmniAccess AP.
4.
Take the AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R out of the box and plug it into the network so that it can
request an IP address from the DHCP server.
5.
Apply power to the AP:
-
Use 802.3af-compliant Power Over Ethernet (PoE) from the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch
or Appliance or from an orderable inline power injector. If you do not have PoE
available, use an orderable external AC-to-48 VDC Power Supply plugged into the side
of the AP.
-
After powering up the AP, the RED Alarm LED comes on for a short period (about 15-20
seconds) and then all the LEDs blink sequentially back and forth, indicating that the AP
is trying to find an Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance to connect to. This can
continue for up to five minutes. If the AP remains in this mode for more than five
minutes, the AP is unable to find the Master Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance.
Check the connection between the AP and the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance
and make sure the AP and the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance are on the same
subnet.
-
If the power light does not come on, check the power (it can be powered either with
Power over Ethernet or a from an orderable AP External Power Supply.
6.
The AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R requests an IP address from the DHCP server, and the DHCP
server returns an IP address for the AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R, and also returns the <Switch
IP Address> of the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance.
Once the AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R finds the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appli-
ance, it attempts to download the new Alcatel Wireless Operating System code if the AP code
version differs from the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance code version. While
this is happening, the LEDs on the top of the AP or OmniAccess AP 1200R blink on and off
together.
7.
Once the Alcatel Wireless Operating System code download is successful, the AP or OmniAccess
AP 1200R reboots. The GREEN LED turns on and the two YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LEDs
indicate the states of the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. If any part of the network is
disabled in the configuring Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance, the corresponding YELLOW/
AMBER/ORANGE LED remains off.
