Summit WM200/2000 Controller Installation Instructions

Step 2 – Connect to a power supply

Configure Management interface

Configure your system

These instructions provide installation technicians with a highlevel overview for installing the Summit

WM200/2000

Controller.

Unpack the controller: 1 Lift the controller, in its protective foam casing, straight up

and out of the carton.

2 Lay the controller on a flat surface and slide off the foam

casing.

3 Confirm that your carton contains all of the appropriate

content.

Carton contents:

● One controller

● Two mounting brackets

● Eight M3x6 lens head machine screws

● Four self-adhesive rubber feet

● One crossover RJ45 Ethernet cable (for installation)

Step 1 – Mount

Mounting holes

WARNING!

Do not obstruct the ventilation grills of the controller.

Two mounting options are available, rack and table.

Rack mounting: 1 Attach the mounting brackets to the controller mounting

holes.

2 Attach the brackets to the rack.

Table mounting: 3 Ensure at least 2 inches of clearance on all sides of the

controller for proper ventilation. Glue the four rubber feet to the stamped positions on the

bottom of the controller.

Connect the two power cords to the controller.

NOTE

If only one power cord is connected, the disconnected power supply LED is illuminated red.

Power off the controller:

● If necessary, to power off the controller first use the

Command Line Interface (CLI) commands or the Summit WM Graphical User Interface (GUI). This operation halts the operation of the controller software.

To complete powering off the controller, a manual power reset on the controller box is required to cycle the hardware.

Step 3 – Configure Management interface

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.

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.

Management Port Console Port

NOTE

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.

1 Statically assign an unused IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24

subnet for the Ethernet port of the laptop.

2 Launch your Web browser, and in the browser address bar,

type

https://192.168.10.1:5825. This launches the Summit

WM GUI. The logon screen appears.

3 In the User Name box, type

type

abc123.

4 Click Login. 5 From the main menu, click WM-AD Configuration. 6 In the left pane, click IP Addresses. 7 In the Management Port Settings section, click Modify.

admin, and in the Password box,

8 Type the following information:

● Hostname – The name of the controller

● Domain – The IP domain name of the enterprise network

● Management IP Address – The new IP address for the

controller’s Management port. Change this as appropriate for the enterprise network.

● Subnet mask – The appropriate subnet mask for the IP

address to separate the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0)

● Management Gateway – The default gateway of the

network

● Primary DNS – The primary DNS server used by the

network

● Secondary DNS – The secondary DNS server used by the

network

9 To save your changes and disconnect the Web connection

between the laptop and the controller, click Ok. The IP addresses are now set to the network you defined.

10 Disconnect your laptop from the controller Management port. 11 Connect the controller Management port to the enterprise

Ethernet LAN. The controller resets automatically.

12 Log on to the Summit WM GUI. The system is visible to the

enterprise network.

Step 4 – Configure your system

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).

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.

● 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.

● To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define

the VLAN as part of the IP address assignment.

Data Ports

4 – Select the country and time zone:

Log on to the Summit WM GUI and select the country and time zone, and then restart the controller.

NOTE

The controller’s clock settings are lost if the controller is powered down for more than 72 hours.

5 – Install the controller license:

Install the license and confirm the latest firmware version is loaded.

6 – Configure the WM-AD:

Research and configure the traffic topologies the network will support.

7 – Install, register, and assign APs to the WM-AD:

● Confirm the latest firmware version is loaded.

● Deploy APs to their corresponding network locations. If

applicable, configure a default AP template for common radio and WM-AD assignment.

● For information on installing and powering the wireless APs,

see the Altitude AP Installation Instructions.

Safety Information

WARNING!

Warnings identify information that is essential. Ignoring a warning can adversely affect the operation of your equipment or software.

● Only authorized Extreme Networks

permitted to service the system.

● 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).
