Supplying Power To The Bsap; Configuring The Bsap With Vwlan And Ap Discovery - ADTRAN BLUESOCKET 1920 Quick Start Manual

3. Once the ceiling clips are attached to the BSAP, line up the T-rail clips with an appropriately sized
rail and press the unit onto the rail until it snaps into place.
4. Optionally, protect your BSAP with a Kensington cable lock (not provided) inserted in the security
slot.

UPPLYING OWER TO THE
The BSAP 1920/1925 does not have a power switch. It is powered when connected to a network device
that supplies PoE based on the IEEE 802.3af standard, an optional external PoE injector
(P/N 1700923F1), or by an optional external DC power adapter (P/N 1700928F1) connected to an AC
power source. Although the BSAP 1920/1925 is fully functional using 802.3af PoE, it also supports
802.3at. To use the external DC power adapter, connect the adapter to the 12V DC port on the back of
the unit. The DC power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100 and 240 VAC at 50 or
60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
If the BSAP is used in a medical environment, it must use an
IEC/EN 60601-1 compliant power adapter.

ONNECTING TO THE
If the BSAP is to be powered using a network device such as a switch, connect the Ethernet port of the
BSAP to the appropriate switchport. Obtain the IP address of the BSAP from the Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) server (based on the MAC address of the BSAP). DHCP is enabled by default. You
can then use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the BSAP based on the instructions below.
If the BSAP is powered using a PoE injector, connect the Ethernet port of the BSAP to the OUT port of
the PoE injector and connect the Ethernet port of the computer to the IN port on the PoE injector. Then
proceed to SSH to the default IP address of the BSAP as instructed below.
If the BSAP is powered using the optional DC power adapter, connect the Ethernet port of the BSAP to
the Ethernet port of the computer. Then proceed to SSH to the default IP address of the BSAP as
instructed below.

ONFIGURING THE
The BSAP 1920/1925 can be configured for use with the Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network
(vWLAN). If you have installed vWLAN, and want to use AP discovery to configure the BSAP, follow
these steps:
1. After powering the BSAP and connecting it to the network, allow the BSAP to discover the vWLAN
appliance to 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, and cached vWLAN
information. 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).
2. There are two additional network components that can be configured to facilitate AP discovery.
First, an external DHCP server can be configured to assign IP addresses to APs associated with
the vWLAN. When configuring the DHCP server, make sure to configure the Bluesocket DHCP
Vendor option (43) on the server. Second, you can configure an external DNS server to resolve the
name apdiscovery to the IP address of the vWLAN instance in the network environment.
