ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and use the same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. The configuration does not include any routers between the access points and the wireless controller. The access points are connected to a PoE switch, which, in turn, is connected to the wireless controller. The uplink of the PoE switch connects to a Layer 3 switch or router that provides Internet access.  To provision the wireless controller: Step Configuration Web Management Interface Path 1. Configure the system and network settings of the wireless controller: 1. Configure the country code of operation. Configuration > System > General 2. Configure the time settings. Configuration > System > Time 3. Configure the IP address of the wireless controller. Configuration > System > IP/VLAN 4. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is marked as untagged. By default, VLAN 1 an untagged management VLAN. 5. DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific information) must be Configuration > System > DHCP enabled on an external DHCP server. If no network DHCP Server server is accessible to the access points, configure the wireless controller's DHCP server. Specifying an internal DHCP server on the wireless controller automatically enables DHCP option 43 with the IP address of the wireless controller. 2. Configure up to eight profiles, and for each profile, do at least the following: 1. Configure an SSID for wireless access. 2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption. Configuration > Profile > Basic 3. Assign the VLAN. 4. If necessary for the selected network authentication option, Configuration > Security > Basic > configure the authentication server. Authentication Server 3. Use any port of the wireless controller to connect the wireless PoE switch. 4. Deploy the access points and connect them to the same wireless PoE switch.
