Integration refers to the entire process from hardware installation to “normal operation”.
9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP integration proceeds as follows:
1. Hardware is installed and mounted.
2. Power is applied to the 9764 MCO (and by default, to the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP
module).
3. The switch on the 9764 MCO module contains a default configuration that connects
the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP port to the backhaul port (there are no 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP
OAM parameters to be configured prior to initial power-up).
The switch will forward Wi-Fi packages as soon as the 9764 MCO module software
has booted and as soon as the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP software is running.
4. A connection between 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP and Alcatel-Lucent 9772 Wi-Fi Service
Controller (9772 Wi-Fi SC) is automatically established.
5. The 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP downloads the latest software version from the appropriate
file server (if applicable).
6. The 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP is provisioned and configured via the 9772 Wi-Fi SC.
A timer is started after the configuration is sent successfully from the 9772 Wi-Fi SC.
During this time, the LED on top of the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP module illuminates and
is visible through the narrow gap between the bottom of the 9764 MCO module and
the top of the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP module.
7. The field technician may choose to observe the LED colors and blinking patterns to
ensure error-free boot-up and normal operation. Refer to
9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP” (p. 3-7)
for details.
“LED state description -
- If normal operation is achieved, then the LED is automatically turned off when the
timer expires.
- If there are problems, then the LED displays the applicable error color/pattern. Refer
“LED state description - 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP” (p. 3-7) for details.
to
8. The field technician will make the first test call – provided all necessary core network
elements (NEs) are configured properly (for example, WLAN GW, AAA, etc.).
The 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP module has a single external bi-color LED (red/green) on the
top of the module housing.
The LED illuminates with different colors and blinking patterns during boot-up, then is
automatically turned off after normal operation has been achieved and the timer expires.
If there are problems, then the LED displays the applicable error color/pattern.
Due to limited visibility requiring direct line-of-site between the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP
module and the 9764 MCO module, the LED is not intended for ongoing troubleshooting
after the unit has been successfully deployed. However, the field technician
installing/replacing the 9764 MCO Wi-Fi AP module may watch the LED during boot-up
if desired.
