This step is optional. You can retain the default IP address of the
controller Management port if you do not intend on connecting
the controller to your enterprise network.
●
The controller is shipped with a hardware serial shunt
between its two cards. For technical support reasons, this
shunt should not be removed.
Ensure that your system is grounded according to your
country’s electrical grounding code requirements.
Use only original accessories or components approved for the
system. Failure to observe these instructions may damage the
equipment or even violate safety and EMC regulations.
This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with
outdoor wiring.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect all power supply cords
before servicing. In the case of unit failure of one of the
power supply modules, the module can be replaced without
interruption of power to the controller. However, this
procedure must be carried out with caution. Wear gloves to
avoid contact with the module, which will be extremely hot.
Disconnect all power before working near power supplies
unless otherwise instructed by a maintenance procedure.
Do not power off the controller using the power button.
Instead, to power off the controller use the Command Line
Interface (CLI) commands or the Summit WM GUI.
Exercise caution when servicing hot swappable controller
components: power supplies or fans. Rotating fans can cause
serious personal injury.
Check the nominal voltage set for the equipment (operating
instructions and type plate). High voltages capable of causing
shock are used in this equipment. Exercise caution when
measuring high voltages and when servicing cards, panels,
and boards while the system is powered on.
To protect electrostatic sensitive devices, wear a wristband
before carrying out any work on hardware.
For system regulatory information, see the Summit WM User
Guide (CD).
These seven steps provide a high-level overview for configuring
your system. For more detailed information on each
configuration step, see the Summit WM User Guide (CD).
Before you connect the controller to the enterprise network,
change the IP address of the controller Management port from its
factory defaults to the IP address suitable for the enterprise
network. To access the controller, use a laptop computer with a
browser. Connect the crossover Ethernet cable between the laptop
and Management Ethernet port of the controller. Follow the steps
below.
●
●
1 – Before you begin configuration:
Research the type of WLAN deployment that is required. For
example, SSIDs, security requirements, and filter policies.
2 – Prepare the network:
●
●
Ensure relevant DHCP servers and RADIUS servers (if
applicable) are available and configured.
3 – Configure the physical port IP:
●
●
Enable the interface. To manage the controller though the
interface, enable Allow management.
Mounting holes
Configure the default IP address to be the relevant subnet
point of attachment to the existing network, and setup the
routing protocol and table. The default IP address is
10.0.#.1.

WARNING!
NOTE
Do not obstruct the ventilation grills of the controller.
●
To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define
the VLAN as part of the IP address assignment.
To use the flash memory card capabilities of the controller, remove the
cover of the flash memory card from the controller and then insert a flash
memory card. Always wear an ESD wristband when inserting or removing a
flash memory card. A flash memory card is not shipped with your
controller.
Two mounting options are available, rack and table.
