Kensington Security Slot
The BSAP includes a Kensington security slot on the rear panel. You can prevent
unauthorized removal of the BSAP by wrapping a Kensington security cable (not
provided) around an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the slot, and
turning the key.
Provisioning Your Bluesocket WLAN for BSAPs
There are prerequisites that must be met before deploying BSAPs in a live
network environment. These prerequisites ensure that the BSAPs are able to
discover and connect to a host BlueSecure Controller. Implementing these
prerequisites also relieves you from the need to manually configure each
deployed BSAP.
The deployment prerequisites for BSAPs are:
• BSAP IP Address - Each BSAP requires a unique IP address.
• Host BlueSecure Controller IP Address - Each BSAP also needs the IP
address of the host BSC to which it will connect and from which it will obtain
its software image and configuration.
This section describes how to provision your Bluesocket WLAN when deploying
BSAPs:
• on the same Layer-2 subnet as the BSC
• across a routed network with Layer-3 connectivity to the BSC
Deploying BSAPs on the Same Layer-2 Subnet as the BSC
If the BSAPs are on the same subnet as the home BlueSecure Controller as shown
in Figure 3, you can run a DHCP server on the BSC to manage IP address
assignment to BSAPs. In this scenario, the BlueSecure Controller must be the only
DHCP server for the subnet.
Alternatively, you can configure the BlueSecure Controller to run a DHCP relay
agent to relay DHCP communications between the BSAPs and a DHCP server on
your network.
