● The AP6010SN supports PoE power supply and DC power supply.

● When both the PoE power supply and DC power supply are available, the DC power

supply is used.

● When DC power supply is used, use the specified power adapter; otherwise, the device may
be damaged.

If the AP needs to connect to the Ethernet, ensure that the Ethernet cable is working
properly. If the Ethernet cable is not working properly, for example, RJ45 connectors are short­circuited, the AP may fail to be powered on or fail to work. Before connecting an Ethernet cable
to the AP, use the cable test tool to check whether the cable is qualified. If the cable is
unqualified, replace it.

Step 2 Configure a static IP address for the PC. The IP address must be on the network segment 192.168.0.1/24
(The IP address should not be same as the AP's default IP address 192.168.0.1.) and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0.
After the configuration is complete, run the ping 192.168.0.1 command on the PC to check whether the PC
can be pinged. If the ping operation succeeds, the connection is set up successfully. If the ping operation fails,
The connection fails to be set up. Check whether the network cable works properly.

Step 3 Access the command line window on the PC. For example, if the PC runs Windows XP, choose Start > Run
And enter cmd in the displayed dialog box.

Step 4 Run the telnet 192.168.0.1 command to log in to the AP.
Step 5 Enter the default user name and password admin. If the user view is displayed, you have logged in

Successfully.

AP Local Configuration

WLAN services parameters of an AP are configured on the AC that is connected To the AP, and then delivered to the AP.
The following parameters are configured on the AP through Telnet or the console port.

1. Configuring the AP Access Mode
This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.

2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP
This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.

3. Configuring WDS (Applicable to Only AP6010DN)
This section describes how to configure WDS parameters on an AP.

1 Configuring the AP Access Mode

This section describes how to configure the mode in which an AP goes online.

● AP Access Modes
After an AP starts, going online management module determines the mode in which the AP goes online. Users are
unaware of the AP access mode. In the AP startup phase, the AP obtains the its IP address, the gateway IP address,
and the AC IP address based on the access mode. After obtaining all the information, the AP sets up a Control And
Provisioning of Wireless Access Point (CAPWAP) link with the AC. The process is as follows:

1. The AP reads the configuration file and determines the mode to go online.

2. If the DHCP mode is used, the AP starts the DHCP process.

3. If the static mode is used, the AP starts the AC discovery process based on the static configuration, and
establishes a control tunnel with the discovered AC.

4. If the PPPoE mode is used, the AP initiates the PPPoE dial-up process. After obtaining the management IP
address and gateway address, the AP uses the statically configured AC IP address to discover the AC, and
establishes a control tunnel with the AC.

NOTE

By default, AP's go online in DHCP mode.

● Configuring the Mode for an AP to Go Online

● Configuring the AP to go online in DHCP mode

1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC.
login：admin

Password： //The default password is admin.
~ #

2. Configure the AP to go online in DHCP mode.
~ # cli
Enterprise AP# configure interface ethernet // Enter the AP interface view.
Enter Ethernet configuration commands，one per line.
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) # ip mode dhcp // Set the mode in which the AP goes online.
Please reboot the AP，configuration will take effect
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) #

3. Restart the AP to make the configuration take effect.
~ # reboot

● Configuring the AP to go online using a static IP address

1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC.
login: admin
Password: //The default password is admin.
~ #

2. Configure the AP to go online using a static IP address. The configuration items are the IP address of an AC that
is connected to the AP, the AP's IP address (mandatory), the mask address (mandatory), and the gateway
address (not required when in Layer 2 networking).
~ # cli
Enterprise AP# configure interface ethernet // Enter the AP interface view.
Enter Ethernet configuration commands，one per line.
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) # ip mode static // Set the mode in which the AP goes online.
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) # ac iplist 1.1.1.1 // Configure the IP address of an AC that is connected to the AP.
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) # ip address 192.168.60.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.60.1 // Configure the IP
address of the AP.
Please reboot the AP，configuration will take effect
Enterprise AP (if-ethernet) #

3. Restart the AP to make the configuration take effect.

2. Configuring VLANs on Wired Interfaces of an AP
This section describes how to configure VLANs on wired interfaces of an AP.

● Introduction to the Wired Interfaces
A wired interface on an AP is connected to an AC or a switch. When the AP assigns service VLANs to packets, you can
configure VLANs on wired interfaces of the AP.

● Configuring VLANs on a Wired Interface

NOTE

By default, the PVID of a wired-side interface is 0, and no VLAN is configured on the interface.

1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC.
login: admin
Password: //The default password is admin.
~ #

2. Configure VLANs and PVID on the wired interface.
~ # cli

AP Local Configuration

3. Configuring WDS (Applicable to Only AP6010DN)

This section describes how to configure WDS parameters on an AP.

● Introduction to WDS

WDS enables multiple AP6010DNs to establish wireless links to connect two or more wired or wireless LANs. WDS­enabled AP6010DNs can switch data packets between the LANs. WDS facilitates network deployment, and device

installation, and allows flexible networking.

● Configuring WDS

Most WDS parameters are configured on the AC. For details, see the AC configuration guides. On an AP, you can enable
or disable the radio indicator that indicates the signal strength of the last hop bridge, and configure the WDS keys.

● Enabling/Disabling the radio indicator that indicates the signal strength of the last hop bridge.

NOTE

By default, the radio indicator is enabled on an AP6010DN.

1. Use Telnet to log in to the AP from a PC.
login: admin
Password: // The default password is admin.
~ #

2. Enabling/Disabling the AP's radio indicator
Enterprise AP (config) # configure interface wireless 0 (1) // Enter the 2.4G 5G interface view.
Enter Wireless configuration commands,one per line.
Enterprise AP (if-wireless 0 (1)) # wds led flag 0 (1) // Enable/Disable the AP's radio indicator.

Enterprise AP (config) # configure interface wireless 0 // Enter the 2.4G 5G interface view.
Enter Wireless configuration commands, one per line.
Enterprise AP (if-wireless 0 (1) ) # wds psk 0 (1) 111111 // Set the key type to hex (parse) and the key to

111111.

3. Restart the AP to make the configuration take effect.
~ # reboot

NOTE

After the configuration is complete, run the reboot command to restart the AP.
