BSAP 6120 QSG
3. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The BSAP will automatically discover Elite Cloud and will display in the account.
Managing the BSAP 6120 with On-Premises and AP Discovery
The BSAP 6120 can be configured for use on-premises, with the Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN) management system. Using AP
discovery to configure the BSAP with a previously-installed vWLAN instance can be achieved by allowing the BSAP to discover the vWLAN instance and
receive its configuration information. This AP discovery process uses an algorithm that attempts discovery methods in this order: static configuration,
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) vendor option (43), Domain Naming System (DNS) discovery, cached vWLAN information, and Express/Elite
Cloud Zero Touch discovery. If no response to the discovery request is received, the algorithm moves to the next method in the list (except when using
static configuration, which never queries the other discovery methods).
Two additional network components can be configured to facilitate AP discovery:
1. An external DHCP server can be configured to assign IP addresses to the BSAPs associated with the vWLAN instance. When configuring the
DHCP server, make sure to configure the Bluesocket DHCP Vendor option (43) on the server.
2. An external DNS server can be configured to resolve the name apdiscovery to the IP address of the vWLAN in the network environment. When
using DNS, only the A records are needed and required to be configured.

NOTE
When running static configuration, the BSAPs will not automatically query the other AP discovery methods.

Configuring the BSAP 6120 IP Address or Static Discovery Using the CLI
By default, DHCP is enabled on the BSAP 6120. However, if static configuration is required for the IP address or AP discovery for the BSAP, users can
access the BSAP's CLI using either a VT100 terminal emulation program or an SSH client.
To access the BSAP 6120 CLI using a VT100 terminal emulation program, follow these steps:
1. Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (rollover cable) to the BSAP's CONSOLE port, and connect the other end of the serial cable to the PC.
2. Open a VT100 terminal emulation program with the following settings: 115,200 data rate, eight data bits, no parity bits, and 1 stop bit (no flow
control).
3. Select <Enter> to access the CLI. At the prompt, enter the user name adm1n and the password blue1socket.
To access the CLI using an SSH client, complete these steps:
1. Ensure that the BSAP is connected to a controlling computer (using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable).
2. Specify that the computer's TCP/IP setting is On or Enabled by navigating to Control Panel and selecting Network Connections.
3. Double-click the connection of your network interface card and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
4. Select Properties then specify that the TCP/IP setting is enabled.
5. Set your PC to a static IP address of 192.168.190.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
6. Access the BSAP's command line interface (CLI) using an SSH client.
7. Open an SSH connection using the unit's DHCP-assigned IP address (or default IP address of 192.168.190.1 if DHCP is not enabled) and port
2335 connected to the LAN1 port on the BSAP.
g
NOTE
If DHCP is not enabled, you can connect to the BSAP using the default IP address of 192.168.190.1. To use this method, make sure
that the BSAP is in the same subnet as the PC configured in Step 5.
8. At the prompt, enter the user name adm1n and the password blue1socket.
