7.6 Configuring VLAN tags for Altitude APs

Summit WM, Getting Started Guide
You must exercise caution while configuring VLAN ID tag. If a VLAN tag is not
configured properly, the connectivity between the Summit WM Switch and the
Altitude AP will be lost.
Note: To configure the VLAN tag for Altitude AP, you must connect the Altitude AP to
a point on the central office network that does not require VLAN tagging. If the VLAN
tagging is configured correctly and you are still on the central office network, the
Altitude AP will lose connection with the Summit WM Switch after it is rebooted (the
Altitude AP reboots when the configuration settings are saved). If the Altitude AP does
not lose connection with the Summit WM Switch after the reboot, it indicates that the
VLAN ID has not been configured correctly. This provides a feedback on whether you
have configured the VLAN tag correctly. After the VLAN is configured correctly, you
can move the Altitude AP to the target location.
To configure Altitude APs with a VLAN tag:
1. Connect the Altitude AP in the central office to the Summit WM Switch port
(or to a network point) that does not require VLAN tagging.
2. In the VLAN Settings section, select Tagged - VLAN ID.
3. In the Tagged - VLAN ID text box, type the VLAN ID on which the Altitude AP
will operate.
4. To save your changes, click Save. The Altitude AP reboots and loses
connection with the Summit WM Switch.
5. Log out from the Summit WM Switch.
6. Disconnect the Altitude AP from the central office network and move it to the
target location.
7. Power the Altitude AP. The Altitude AP connects to the Summit WM Switch.
If the Altitude AP does not connect to the Summit WM Switch, it implies that
the Altitude AP was not configured properly. To recover from this situation,
you must reset the Altitude AP to its factory default settings, and reconfigure
the static IP address. For more information, see
