Note that the Red LED can light for a short period (10-20 seconds) when the AP
reboots. If the RED LED comes on AND STAYS ON for more than a minute, disconnect
the AP and call Alcatel Technical Support.
-
From the CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface, configure the AP with its Primary Alcatel
OmniAccess Switch or Appliance name as described in the
Product
-
If you will be using the AP in a mobility group, set the mobility group name using the
CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface.
-
If required, use the CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface to customize the AP-specific
802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g network settings. Once again, 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, the corresponding YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LED remains
off.
5.
If everything works (the GREEN LED is on and the RED LED is off), disconnect the AP and take
it to its final destination and install it as described in this document. If your OmniAccess AP fails
this visual test, refer to
return your OmniAccess APs.
6.
When you have installed and powered up the AP in its final destination, verify that the LEDs are
in the same state they were in at the end of Step 4. If no LEDs are on, the AP is most likely not
receiving power. If the LEDs blink sequentially back and forth for more than five minutes, the
AP is unable to find its Primary 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 either on the same subnet or that the AP has a
route back to its Primary Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance. If the OmniAccess AP or
OmniAccess AP 1200R is not on the same subnet as the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appli-
ance, make sure there is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the OmniAccess AP or
OmniAccess AP 1200R. Also, make sure that the route between the OmniAccess AP or Omni-
Access AP 1200R and the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance can process IP fragmented
packets.
After you have prepared all OmniAccess APs, reconfigure the Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance so
it is not the Master. A Master Alcatel OmniAccess Switch or Appliance should only be used for config-
uring OmniAccess APs and not in a working network.

If your OmniAccess AP has Alcatel Wireless Operating System 2.0 or a later version (which includes all
OmniAccess 1200R APs) loaded on it, continue with this procedure. If your AP has Alcatel Wireless
Operating System 1.2 or earlier loaded on it, or if you do not know what version the AP has loaded, use
