Avaya W110 User Manual

W310/W110 Quick Setup Guide Using the W310 Device Manager

WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install

or replace this equipment.

Unpack the hardware and make your connections.

a. Unpack the W310 from its shipping box.

b. Check the W310 package contents for the following:

— one W310 —one AC power cord — one RJ45 to DB9 serial adapter cable — one CD that contains the user documentation — this setup guide

Also, you should have at least one W110 Light Access Point in a separate package. The W110 includes a Quick Start Guide and a CD.

c. Attach the AC power cord to the Power jack on the W310 rear panel.

All front panel LEDs will illuminate briefly. Once the boot up and self-tests are complete, the LED labeled PWR will turn solid green.

d. Connect the Ethernet cables from your W310 port(s) to the W110’s

LAN port or a wired Ethernet network station. Start with port 1 on the W310 to make your W110 connections. Once you make the connection(s), the associated Link LED will light. The Link LEDs are located underneath the ports.

(cont)

e. Make sure the W310 and W110 are communicating properly. To verify

communication, do the following:

— For the W310 - The PoE (Power over Ethernet) LED for the port

that is connected to the W110 will turn solid green indicating power is enabled and it is delivering power. If no W110 is connected (or detected), the PoE LED will flash.

— For the W110 - The Ethernet LED will either be solid yellow or

green indicating that there is a 10BaseT or 100BaseT connection.

f. Now you are ready to assign a new IP address to the W310.

Assign a network IP address to the W310.

a. Connect the Console cable to the port labeled Console on the W310

front panel (see above).

b. Connect the other end of the cable to a PC or terminal.

c. Start your terminal communication program (such as Microsoft

dows’ HyperTerminal).

d. Configure the serial port settings for using a terminal or terminal emu-

lator as follows:

— Baud Rate - 9600 bps — Data Bits - 8 bits — Parity - None — Stop Bit - 1 — Flow Control - None — Terminal Emulation - VT-100

Example: In HyperTerminal, you are prompted for the COM Port configuration settings when you first create the connection to the W310.

Win-

Connect the Console cable to the W310 Console port. (Step 2)

Connect the Ethernet cable from the W310 port to the W110 LAN port

Port 1 is located in the bottom left hand corner. The associated LINK LEDs are located directly below each port.

e. When you are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default login:

root.

f. When you are promoted for a password, enter the default user level

password: root. You are now in Supervisor Level.

g. At the CLI (W310-1>#) prompt, type:

set interface inband <vlan> <ip_address> <netmask>

— Replace <vlan>, <ip_address> and <netmask>

with the VLAN set to 1, the IP address and subnet mask of the switch.

Use the W310 Device Manager to assign SSIDs (wireless network name) to the W110s.

IMPORTANT: The W310 Device Manager web interface will prompt you to

install the Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2 if you do not have it installed, or, if you have an earlier version. Click Yes to install or you will not be able to access the web interface.

(cont.)

f. Click the checkbox for each W110 you want to associate with the

SSID. The W110s are numbered to match the ports on the W310. By default no ports are selected.

NOTE:

You can edit the "default" SSID row if necessary by selecting any of the parameters. However, you cannot delete the default SSID.

g. Now you are ready to set the security for the wireless network.

a. Open your browser.

b. Enter the IP address you assigned in Step 2 to the W310. Use the for-

mat http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of the switch.

c. Enter the default User Name and Password: root

d. After the W310 Manager loads, click Configure and then SSID Table

from the menu bar. The SSID Table appears.

Set the wireless network security.

a. On the SSID Table dialog (Step 3), click the Security Mode

column. The default Security Mode is none, but it is recommended that you set a security type for the wireless network to avoid improper access.

b. From the drop-down menu, select the type of wireless network secu-

rity you want to use.

— Select WEP. WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

encrypts the data portion of each packet exchanged on an

802.11 network using an encryption key.

Set the WEP key strings. WEP Key 1 is the default key if you are using the same WEP key for all SSIDs. Click on the text box for the key and type in an ASCII character string. Key 1 is also the default Effective WEP Key.

If you need to enter a WEP key for additional SSIDs, you must always use WEP Key 1 for each SSID. After you enter the key, select Key 1 from the Effective WEP Key drop-down menu.

CAUTION: For WEP, make sure you enter the exact number of ASCII

characters required. If you do not enter the correct number, the key will go back to the default.

e. To create a new SSID, click the Insert button on the bottom of the

page. A new row displays underneath the "default." You can create up to 15 additional SSIDs.

Depending on the encryption type, you must use the exact number of ASCII characters, as listed below.

 64-bit encryption requires a five (5) character string.

 128-bit encryption requires a 13 character string.

 152-bit encryption requires a 16 character string.
