Precautions

2

4. Connect a CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable to a compatible 802.3af power source
and run the cable to the installation site. Ensure there is sufficient slack on the
cable to perform the installation steps.

NOTE

When operating in a Gigabit Ethernet environment, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable is
recommended for Gigabit operation.

Precautions

Before installing a Mobility 1220 Access Point model Access Point, verify the
following:

•

If a DC power supply is used, ensure it’s the approved power supply for the
Mobility 1220 Access Point (PWRS-14000-148R).

•

Brocade recommends you do not to install the Mobility 1220 Access Point in
wet or dusty areas.

•

Verify the environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to
40° C.

Access Point placement

For optimal performance, install the access point away from transformers,
heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other
industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors
block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as
needed to improve coverage.

Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far
away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and
create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a
light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.

Place the access point using the following guidelines:

•

Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

•

Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception (applies to
external antenna models only).

Initial Access Point Configuration

Once the Access Point is installed and powered on, complete the following steps to
get the device up and running by using the Initial Setup Wizard:

1. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a device with an 802.3af

compatible power source or use the PWRS-14000-148R power supply to supply
power to the Mobility 1220 Access Point (once fully cabled).

If your host system is a DHCP server, an IP address is automatically assigned to
the Mobility 1220 Access Point and can be used for device connection.
However, if a DHCP server is not available, you will need to derive the IP
address from the Mobility 1220 Access Point MAC address. Using this method,
the last two bytes of the Mobility 1220 Access Point MAC address become the
last two octets of the IP address.

For Example:

MAC address - 00:C0:23:00:F0:0A
IP address equivalent - 169.254.240.10

To derive the Mobility 1220 Access Point’s IP address using its factory assigned
MAC address:

a. Open the Windows calculator be selecting Start > All Programs >

Accessories > Calculator. This menu path may vary depending on your
version of Windows.

3

b. With the Calculator displayed, select View > Scientific. Select the Hex radio

button.

c. Enter a hex byte of the Mobility 1220 Access Point’s MAC address. For

example, F0.

d. Select the Dec radio button. The calculator converts F0 into 240. Repeat

this process for the last Mobility 1220 Access Point MAC address octet.

10. Select an Access Point Type from the following options:

•

Virtual Controller AP - When more than one Access Point is deployed, a
single Access Point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 Access
Points can be connected to, and managed by, a single Virtual Controller AP
of the same Mobility 1220 Access Point model.

•

Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this Access Point as an
autonomous fat Access Point. A Standalone AP isn't managed by a Virtual
Controller AP, or adopted by a controller.

NOTE

If you are designating the Access Point as a Standalone AP, Brocade
recommends that the Access Point’s UI, and not the CLI, be used exclusively to
define its device configuration. The CLI provides the ability to define more than
one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be
used collectively to manage profiles without an administrator encountering
problems.

11. Adopted to Controller - Select this option when deploying the Access Point as a
controller managed (Dependent mode) Access Point. Selecting this option
closes the Initial AP Setup Wizard. An adopted Access Point obtains its
configuration from a profile stored on its managing controller. Any manual
configuration changes are overwritten by the controller upon reboot.

Select the Automatic controller discovery option to enable the Access Point to
be discovered and adopted using layer 2 settings. If you prefer layer 3 adoption,
select the Static Controller Configuration option, and define the addresses of
the preferred controllers.
