Configuring the Summit WM Controller
Configuring the data interfaces.
Set up the Summit WM Controller on the network by configuring the physical data ports and their
function as "host port", "router port", or "3rd party AP port".
Configure the routing table.
Configure static routes or OSPF parameters for any port defined as a router port, if appropriate to
the network.

Step 5 - Configuring the WM-AD
Research and then configure the traffic topologies your network must support. Set up one or more WM
Access Domains on the Summit WM Controller. For each WM-AD, configure the following:
Topology - Configure the WM-AD.
RF - Assign the Altitude APs' radios to the WM-AD.
Authentication and Accounting - Configure the authentication method for the wireless device user
and enable the accounting method. The authentication and accounting configuration is optional. It
only applies to Captive Portal or AAA WM-ADs.
RAD Policy - Define filter ID values and WM-AD Groups. This configuration is optional.
Filtering - Define filtering rules to control network access
Multicast - Define groups of IP addresses for multicast traffic. This configuration is optional. By
default, the multicast feature is disabled.
Privacy - Select and configure the wireless security method on the WM-AD.
QoS Policy - Configure the Qos Policy.

Step 6 - Registering and assigning APs to the WM-AD
Deploy Altitude APs to their corresponding network locations. Attach the Altitude APs to the network
infrastructure. Once the Altitude APs are powered on, they automatically begin the Discovery process
of the Summit WM Controller, based on factors that include:
Their Registration mode (on the Altitude AP Registration page)
The enterprise network services that will support the discovery process
A new feature available in the 4.0 release is a default AP configuration. The default AP configuration
allows for a definition of a default configuration template, whereby APs automatically receive complete
configuration. For typical deployments where all APs are to all have same configuration, this feature
will expedite deployment, as an AP will automatically receive full configuration (including WM-AD
assignment) upon initial registration with the Summit WM Controller. If applicable, modify the
properties or settings of the Altitude APs.
