4.
Once the Operating System code download is successful, the AP reboots. The GREEN LED turns
on and 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 in the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless
Security Switch, the corresponding YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LED remains off.
-
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 Nortel Networks Technical Support.
-
From the CLI, Web Browser or WLAN Control System interface, configure the AP with its
Primary Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch name as described in the
Nortel Networks Product Documentation.
-
If you will be using the AP in a mobility group, set the mobility group name using the
CLI, Web Browser or WLAN Control System interface.
-
If required, use the CLI, Web Browser or WLAN Control System 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 Nortel Networks
WLAN - Access Point fails this visual test, refer to RMA Procedures in the Nortel Networks
Product Documentation to return your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points.
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 Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch. Check the
connection between the AP and the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch, and
make sure the AP and the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch are either on the
same subnet or that the AP has a route back to its Primary Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless
Security Switch. If the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point is not
on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch, make sure there
is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote
Edge Access Point. Also, make sure that the route between the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access
Point or Remote Edge Access Point and the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch
can process IP fragmented packets.
After you have prepared all Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points, reconfigure the Nortel Networks
WLAN - Wireless Security Switch so it is not the Master. A Master Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless
Security Switch should only be used for configuring Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points and not in a
working network.
