Step 3 - Installing the hardware
Install the Summit WM Controller. For more information, see the following:
Summit WM200/2000 Installation Guide
Summit WM20 Installation Guide
Summit WM100/WM1000 Installation Guide
NOTE
The connection of a separate protective earth wire at the terminal on the rear side of the Summit WM Controller
WM20 is optional.
Step 4 - Performing the first time setup
Perform the first time Setup of the Summit WM Controller on the physical network, which includes
configuring the physical port IP:
Configure the default IP address to be the relevant subnet point of attachment to the existing
network. The default IP address is 10.0.#.1.
Setup the routing protocol table.
Configure the time zone, and then restart the Summit WM Controller. Because changing the time
zone requires restarting the Summit WM Controller, it is recommended that you configure the time
zone during the initial installation and configuration of the Summit WM Controller to avoid network
interruptions. For more information, see
To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define the VLAN as part of the IP address
assignment.
Applying the product license key
Apply a product license key file. If a product license key is not applied, the Summit WM Controller
functions with some features enabled in demonstration mode. Not all features are enabled in
demonstration mode. For example, mobility is not enabled and cannot be used.
CAUTION
Whenever the licensed region changes on the Summit WM Controller, all Altitude APs are changed to Auto Channel
Select to prevent possible infractions to local RF regulatory requirements. If this occurs, all manually configured
radio channel settings will be lost.
Installing the new license key before upgrading will prevent the Summit WM Controller from changing the licensed
region, and in addition, manually configured channel settings will be maintained. For more information, see the
Summit WM Maintenance Guide.
Configuring for remote access
In addition, the first time setup also involves configuring for remote access, which includes:
Setting up an administration station (laptop) on subnet 192.168.10.0/24. By default, the controller's
interface is configured with static IP 192.168.10.1.
Configuring the system management interface.
