Accessing Vwlan Without A Network Port Ip Address; Connecting To The Vwlan Gui; Vwlan Hardware Appliance Leds; Installing The Vwlan Hardware Appliance - ADTRAN 1700900F2 Quick Start

• Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Follow these steps to configure the ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN hardware appliance for
installation:
1. Place the vWLAN hardware appliance in the location where you will manage it. Insert the
power cable into the power port on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Connect the vWLAN hardware appliance to the network with Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) configured using the Network port (public network interface) on the rear
panel of the unit. The Network port is used to reach the APs, for cloud connectivity where
applicable, and for vWLAN-to-vWLAN communication when using high availability. The port
labeled MGMT (private network interface) is not typically used for these purposes. The
MGMT port is designed for initial configuration using a computer without connecting to the
serial or local network connectivity for out-of-band management.
3. Plug the unattached end of the power cable into a properly grounded AC power receptacle.
4. Power on the hardware appliance by pressing the red Power button on the front panel of
the unit. The appliance may take up to five minutes to boot, or longer if Dynamic Name
Service (DNS) is not configured.
5. Once the boot is complete, locate the IP address of the hardware appliance from either the
DHCP server or from the serial console menu. If you cannot find the IP address of the
appliance in a DHCP server, refer to

INDING THE
If you cannot find the IP address of the vWLAN hardware appliance through a DHCP server, you
can use the Serial port. To find the IP address using the Serial port on the rear of the appliance,
follow these steps:
1. Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable (not provided in shipment) to the
serial port on the back of the appliance hardware.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the PC.
3. Open a VT100 terminal session with the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, and 1 stop bit (no flow control).
4. When prompted, enter the username vwlan and the password vwlan.
5. You are now connected to the vWLAN command line interface (CLI). Enter the command
interface i <ip address> <network mask> <gateway address> to specify the static IP
address for the network interface.
6. You can optionally continue to configure the vWLAN hardware appliance using the CLI as
described in the
