4 Installing the D-Link Unified Access System This chapter contains the following sections to help you install your D-Link Unified Access System network: • System Deployment Overview • Connecting the Switch to the Network • Enabling the WLAN Features on the Switch • Preparing the Access Points • Discovering Access Points and Peer Switches • Authenticating and Validating Access Points System Deployment Overview To setup and deploy the D-Link Unified Access System solution, use the following general steps: 1. Plan the WLAN network topology. Decide where to locate each access point to maximize accessibility to the WLAN by wireless clients and to minimize radio frequency (RF) interference by other access points. You should also determine how to integrate the D-Link Unified Switch into your existing network topology. For more information about planning the WLAN topology, see "WLAN Topology Considerations" on page 34. 2. Install and configure the D-Link Unified Switch. To install and configure the switch, you need a serial connection to the switch, or you must connect to the switch from a host in the same subnet as the switch default IP address (10.90.90.90/8). From the initial connection to the switch, you can configure basic network information or enable the DHCP client on the switch to acquire this information automatically. 3. Enable the WLAN switch function and assign an IP address to the WLAN switch interface. The WLAN features on the switch are enabled by default. The WLAN feature must be System Deployment Overview 53
