Chapter 3: Installing or Upgrading Wireless
LAN Orchestration System
The Wireless LAN Orchestration System (WOS) server is designed to be run on a virtual platform.
The application package allows you to install and run the WOS server on your own virtual machine
under VMware or Hyper-V environment.
For installation instructions, see Installing the WOS-VM Virtual Appliance or Installing the WOS-HV
Virtual Appliance in the WOS User guide or online help at
wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=ms_chap2.html#1070630.
Note:
A new installation of WOS allows you to manage up to 10 Access Points for 30 days in Demo
Mode. A valid Base License is required to login after 30 days.
If you have an existing WOS Server installation the appliance needs to be upgraded to the 7.5
release or later using the .xau file (example: Wos-vm-upgrade-7.5.1-6873.xau). For upgrade
instructions, see Performing Server Upgrades in the WOS User Guide or at the online help at http://
docs.wifi.avaya.com/wos/prod/7.5/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=XSI.html.

Creating an AOS-Lite Profile for AP Configuration
About this task
A profile allows you to define a common access point configuration to a set of Access Points and
manage them as a group. After creating a profile, a uniform configuration and AP Operating System
software release to be applied to all of the member Access Points is defined.

Creating an AOS-Lite Profile for AP Configuration
If there is a mixture of WAP9112 Access Points and WAP9122, 9123, 9132, 9133, 9172, 9173 or
WAO9122 Access Points, you should create one or more AOS and AOS-Lite profiles and set a
default profile for each type.
When WOS discovers an Avaya AP, it automatically places it into the correct default profile based
on whether the AP runs the AOS or AOS-Lite Operating System.
Before you begin
• An AOS-Lite Profile should be created for WAP9112 Access Points.
Procedure
1. Select the Configure menu at the top of the Page.
2. Click on the Profiles link under the Access Point Configuration.
3. Click Add AOSLite Profile to create a new AOSLite profile.
4. Enter the name of the profile in the box next to Profile Name and click OK when done.

individual LAN ports.
The Switch Port can be configured as an Access or Trunk port and can support up to 8 VLANs when
configured as a Trunk Port.
