Configuring the Altitude AP

Summit WM Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 4.1 User Guide

Configuring the Altitude APs for the first time

Before the Altitude AP is configured for the first time, you must first confirm that the following has

already occurred:

● The Summit WM series switch has been set up. For more information, see Chapter 2, “Configuring

the Summit WM series switch.”

● The Summit WM series switch, access points, and WLAN switch software has been configured. For

more information, see Chapter 2, “Configuring the Summit WM series switch.”

● The Altitude APs have been installed. For more information, see the Summit WM Series WLAN Switch

Installation Instructions.

Once the above processes are complete, you can then continue with the Altitude AP initial

configuration. The Altitude AP initial configuration involves two steps:

● Step One – Define parameters for the discovery process. For more information, see “Defining

properties for the discovery process” on page 60.

● Step Two – Connect the Altitude AP to a power source to initiate the discovery and registration

process. For more information, see “Connecting the Altitude AP to a power source and initiating the

discovery and registration process” on page 63.

Adding an Altitude AP manually option

An alternative to the automatic discovery and registration process of the Altitude AP is to manually

add and register an Altitude AP to the Summit WM series switch. For more information, see “Adding

and registering an Altitude AP manually” on page 63.

Defining properties for the discovery process

Before an Altitude AP is configured, you must define properties for the discovery process. The

discovery process is the process by which the Altitude APs determine the IP address of the Summit

WM series switch.

The properties that need to be defined are:

● Security mode

● Discovery timers

Security mode

Security mode is a Summit WM series switch property. It defines how the controller behaves when

registering new, unknown devices. During the registration process, the Summit WM series switch’s

approval of the Altitude AP’s serial number depends on the security mode that has been set:

● Allow all Altitude APs to connect

● If the Summit WM series switch does not recognize the registering serial number, a new

registration record is automatically created for the AP (if within MDL license limit). The AP

receives a default configuration. The default configuration can be the default template

assignment.
