The AP can be configured for use with Elite On-Premises, the
Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN). Using AP
discovery to configure the AP with a previously-installed vWLAN
can be achieved by allowing the AP to discover the vWLAN and
receive its configuration information. This AP discovery process
uses an algorithm that attempts discovery methods in this order:
static configuration, Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
vendor option (43), Domain Naming System (DNS) discovery,
cached vWLAN info, and Express/Elite Cloud Zero Touch
discovery. If no response to the discovery request is received, the
algorithm moves to the next method in the list (except when using
static configuration, which never queries the other discovery
methods).
Two additional network components can be configured to facilitate
AP discovery:
1. An external DHCP server can be configured to assign IP
addresses to APs associated with the vWLAN. When
configuring the DHCP server, make sure to configure the
Bluesocket DHCP Vendor option (43) on the server.
2. An external DNS server can be configured to resolve the
name apdiscovery to the IP address of the vWLAN in the
network environment.
For more information on the vWLAN and AP discovery, please
refer to the vWLAN AP Discovery Configuration Guide

ONNECTING TO THE
If powering the AP using a network device such as a switch,
complete the following:
1. Connect the AP Ethernet port to the appropriate switchport.
2. Obtain the IP address of the AP from the Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) server based on the MAC address
of the AP. DHCP is enabled by default.
3. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the AP.
If powering the AP using a PoE injector, complete the following:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the AP to the
PoE injector.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of the computer to the
the PoE injector.
3. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the AP.
If the AP is powered using the optional DC power adapter,
complete the following:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the AP to the Ethernet port of
the computer.
2. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the AP.
