WM Access Domain Services configuration
Connecting the WDS Altitude APs to the enterprise network for discovery and
registration
Connect each WDS Altitude AP to the enterprise network to enable it to discover and register
themselves with the Summit WM Controller.
NOTE
Before you connect the WDS Altitude APs to the enterprise network for discovery and registration, you must ensure
that the Security mode property of the Summit WM Controller is defined according to your security needs. The
Security mode property dictates how the Summit WM Controller behaves when registering new and unknown devices.
For more information, see
If the Security mode is set to Allow only approved Altitude APs to connect (this is also known as secure mode), you
must manually approve the WDS Altitude APs after they are connected to the network for the discovery and
registration. For more information, see
Depending upon the number of Ethernet ports available, you may connect one or more WDS Altitude
AP at a time, or you may connect all of them together.
Once a WDS Altitude AP has discovered and registered itself with the Summit WM Controller,
disconnect it from the enterprise network.
Configuring the WDS Altitude APs through the Summit WM Controller
Configuring the WDS Altitude APs involves the following steps:
1 Creating a WDS WM-AD.
2 Defining the SSID name and the pre-shared key.
3 Assigning roles, parents and backup parents to the WDS Altitude APs.
For the ease of understanding, the WDS configuration process is explained with the help of an example.
The following illustration depicts a site with the following features:
An office building, denoted by a rectangular enclosure.
Four Altitude APs - Ardal, Arthur, Athens and Auberon - are within the confines of the building,
and are connected to the wired network.
The space around the building is the ware house.
