configuration. After you complete the Setup Wizard, the switch reboots using the new configuration
information you entered.
Do not connect the switch to your network when running the Setup Wizard. The factory-default switch boots up
with a default IP address and both DHCP server and spanning tree functions are enabled. Once you have
completed the Setup Wizard and rebooted the switch, you can use either the CLI or WebUI for further

Create virtual local area networks (VLANs) into which wireless users are placed after authentication
Modify default port settings

describes the basic information that is required for the Setup Wizard.
Description
A user-defined name by which the Controller will be referenced. You can specify a name of up
to 63 characters.
The country in which the switch will operate. The country code determines the 802.11
wireless transmission spectrum.
NOTE: You cannot change the country code for controllers designated for certain countries,
such as the U.S. or Israel. Improper country code assignment can disrupt wireless
transmissions. Most countries impose penalties and sanctions for operators of wireless
networks with devices set to improper country codes.
Password of up to 32 characters for the admin user to log in to the switch.
Password of up to 15 characters for the admin user to access the Enable mode in the CLI.
You can either manually set the date, time, and GMT time zone or specify the IP address of an
NTP server from which the switch will obtain its date and time settings.
Standalone: If this is the only switch on the network.
Master: If this switch will manage other controllers on the network. You are prompted for a
key that will be used by all controllers on the network.
Local: If this switch will be managed by a master switch. You are prompted for a key that
will be used by all controllers on the network. (You need to provide the IP address of the
master switch.)
The switch takes its IP address from VLAN 1. The switch uses the configured IP address to
communicate with other controllers and with APs.
This is usually the IP address of the interface on the upstream switch or router to which you
will connect the switch. The default gateway and the VLAN 1 IP address need to be in the
same network.
