Once a RoamAbout Wireless Switch has been physically installed into a rack, you need to power it
on and go through the initial configuration process described in this chapter.
For more information about configuration of the Mobility System Software on a wireless switch,
refer to the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide and the RoamAbout Mobility
System Software Command Line Interface Reference.

Pre-Configuration Tasks

The following information is needed prior to executing any of the steps in this chapter:
• IP Addresses
• Network Subnet Masks

Wireless Switch Configuration Tasks

Once the wireless switch is physically installed and powered on, you can set up its configuration.
This section describes two ways to configure a newly‐installed wireless switch—using the
quickstart CLI command at the switch's serial console port, and remotely configuring the switch
using RoamAbout Switch Manager.

Using the CLI quickstart Command

You can use the quickstart command to quickly configure a new, previously unconfigured
wireless switch. The quickstart command runs a script that interactively helps you configure the
following items:
• System name
• Country code (regulatory domain)
• System IP address
• Default route
• Administrative users and passwords
• Unencrypted (clear) SSID names
• Usernames and passwords for guest access using WebAAA
• Encrypted (crypto) SSID names and dynamic WEP encryption for encrypted SSIDs' wireless
traffic
