4 Configuring the WLAN Controller
LANCOM WLAN Controllers handle the management of Access Points in larger
WLAN infrastructures. The configuration data of the Access Points is stored in
profiles in the WLAN Controller and, from there, these are transmitted to the
Access Points.
LANCOM WLAN Controllers manage the configurations of LANCOM
wireless devices with WLAN modules set to the 'Managed' operating
mode.
LANCOM Access Points (L-54g, L-54ag, L-54 dual, IAP, XAP, OAP) with
firmware of LCOS 7.20 or higher are set to managed mode as stand-
ard when shipped.
Conversely, LANCOM Wireless Routers (18xx, 3x50) are set to the
Access Point mode.
Instructions on setting the operating mode for WLAN modules are to be
found under 'Configuring the Access Points'
4.1
Basic settings for the LANCOM WLAN Controller
To get started, a LANCOM WLAN Controller requires the following two pieces
of information to carry out the mainly automated configuration of the Access
Points:
Current time information (data and time) for checking the validity of the
necessary certificates.
A default configuration that the WLAN Controller can provide to the
Access Points.
The information in this section enables the basic configuration of the
WLAN Controllers for fast commissioning. It does not, however, go
into detail on the full range of options and specifics of the individual
parameters. A detailed description of the LANCOM WLAN Controller
configuration parameters can be found under 'Extended settings'
