Setting up the Altitude AP using static configuration

The Altitude AP static configuration feature provides the Summit WM Controller, Access Points, and
WM software solution with the capability for a network with either a central office or a branch office
model. The static configuration settings assist in the setup of branch office support. These settings are
not dependent of branch topology, but instead can be employed at any time if required. In the branch
office model, Altitude APs are installed in remote sites, while the Summit WM Controller is in the
central office. The Altitude APs require the capability to interact in both the local site network and the
central network. To achieve this model, a static configuration is used.
NOTE
If an Altitude AP with a statically configured IP address (without a statically configured Wireless Controller Search
List) cannot register with the Summit WM Controller within the specified number of retries, the Altitude AP will use
SLP, DNS, and SLP multicast as a backup mechanism.
To set up a Altitude AP using static configuration:
1 From the main menu, click Altitude AP Configuration. The Altitude APs page is displayed.
2 Click the appropriate Altitude AP in the list.
