Discover and Manage Access Points
123
ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600
After the connection with the wireless controller is reestablished, the remote access point
functions once again as a managed access point.
Discover Access Points with the Discovery Wizard
The Discovery Wizard provides two methods to find access points that are not yet on the
managed access point list. These methods are described in the following sections:
Discover Access Points in Factory Default State and Access Points in a Layer 2 Subnet
Discover Access Points Installed and Working in Standalone Mode in Different Layer 3
Networks
CAUTION:
If security is not set up, or is set up incorrectly, when the wireless controller
pushes the configurations to the access points, you could accidentally
wipe out all security, leaving your entire network open to access. Be sure
that you set up security correctly (see
Chapter 6, Manage Security Profiles
and Profile Groups).
Discover Access Points in Factory Default State and Access
Points in a Layer 2 Subnet
Access points in factory default state are access points “out of the box” that have never been
employed. Access points in a Layer 2 subnet are access points that are installed and
functioning in the same IP subnet as the wireless controller and that are connected to the
wireless controller through a back-end Layer 2 switch.
Note: Make sure that DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific information) is
enabled on an external DHCP server. For more information, see
General Discovery Guidelines on page 120.
To discover access points in factory default state and access points in a Layer 2
subnet:
1. Open a web browser. In the browser’s address field, type the http:// followed by the IP
address that you assigned to the wireless controller.
By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250. If you have not yet assigned another IP
address to the wireless controller, type http://192.168.0.250.
The wireless controller’s login screen displays.
2. Enter your user name and password.
