In a scenario where the NTP server is unreachable, the connection between the IAP and Activate will fall back to
the unsecured status. The NTP client process running in the back end will continuously attempt to reconnect to
the NTP server until a secure connection is established. The NTP client process receives a response from the
NTP server on successfully establishing a connection and notifies the CLI process which runs a series of checks
to ensure the NTP server is reachable.
Connecting to a Provisioning Wi-Fi Network
The IAPs boot with factory default configuration and try to provision automatically. If the automatic
provisioning is successful, the Instant SSID will not be available. If AirWave and Activate are not reachable and
the automatic provisioning fails, the Instant SSID becomes available and the users can connect to a
provisioning network by using the Instant SSID.
To connect to a provisioning Wi-Fi network:
1. Ensure that the client is not connected to any wired network.
2. Connect a wireless-enabled client to a provisioning Wi-Fi network: for example, Instant.
3. If the Windows operating system (OS) is used:
a. Click the wireless network connection icon in the system tray. The Wireless Network Connection
window is displayed.
b. Click the Instant network and then click Connect.
4. If the Mac OS system is used:
a. Click the AirPort icon. A list of available Wi-Fi networks is displayed.
b. Click the instant network.
The Instant SSIDs are broadcast in 2.4 GHz only.
IAP Cluster
IAPs in the same VLAN automatically find each other and form a single functioning network managed by a VC.
Moving an IAP from one cluster to another requires a factory reset of the IAP.
Disabling the Provisioning Wi-Fi Network
The provisioning network is enabled by default. Instant provides the option to disable the provisioning
network through the console port. Use this option only when you do not want the default SSID Instant to be
broadcast in your network.
To disable the provisioning network:
1. Connect a terminal, PC, or workstation running a terminal emulation program to the Console port on the
IAP.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings:

3. Turn on the IAP. An autoboot countdown prompt that allows you to interrupt the normal startup process
and access apboot is displayed.
