Configuring the Wireless AP
NOTE
If a Wireless AP with a statically configured IP address (without a statically configured Summit Switch Search List)
cannot register with the Summit WM Controller within the specified number of retries, the Wireless AP will use SLP,
DNS, and SLP multicast as a backup mechanism.
To set up a Wireless AP using static configuration:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude APs. The Altitude APs screen is displayed.
2 Click the appropriate Wireless AP in the list.
3 Click the Static Configuration tab.

Untagged – Select if you want this AP to be untagged. This option is selected by default.

CAUTION
Caution should be exercised when using this feature. If a VLAN tag is not configured properly, the connectivity with
the AP will be lost. To configure the AP VLAN, do the following:
• Connect the AP to the Summit WM Controller or to the network point that does not require AP VLAN tagging.
• Use Static Configuration to enable VLAN and define the VLAN ID.
• Save the configuration on the AP. The AP reboots and looses connectivity to the Summit WM Controller.
• Disconnect the AP and attach it to its final network location.
If the VLAN settings match the network configuration, the AP registers with the Summit WM Controller successfully.
If the AP VLAN is not configured properly (wrong tag), connecting to the AP may not be possible. To recover from
