Introduction 3

Chapter 1

Overview of Ortronics AP Setup Process

Setting up an Ortronics AP typically consists of four stages:

1 WLAN Planning—The administrator determines how many Ortronics APs will be

needed for their wireless network strategy and where they will be deployed. This can be
easily accomplished using Ortronics’ automated RF Plan site-survey software (available
separately as part of the Ortronics Wireless Controller).

2 AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each Ortronics AP with initial settings that

allow it to locate the host Ortronics Wireless Controller. Depending on the network
topology and services, AP provisioning can be performed manually for each AP or
plug-and-play for batches of APs.

AP provisioning is discussed in 5.

3 AP Deployment—Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its intended

place of operation.

AP deployment is covered in 13.

4 AP Configuration—The administrator defines the operational behavior for each

Ortronics AP, such as RF characteristics and security features.

For AP configuration information, refer to the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s

Guide.

Draft 2006

CHAPTER 2

Provisioning Access Points

Access Points are radio broadcast devices and as such are subject to governmental
regulation. Network administrators responsible for the configuration and operation of
Access Points must comply with local broadcast regulations. Specifically, Access Points
must use channel assignment appropriate to the location in which the Access Point will be
used. Ortronics, in compliance with governmental requirements, has designed the Wi-Jack
DUO such that only authorized network administrators can change these settings. For more
information on Wi-Jack DUO configuration, refer to the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s
Guide.

Provisioning provides the AP with initial network settings that allow it to locate the host
Ortronics Wireless Controller. The following provisioning methods (listed in the order of
preference recommended by Ortronics) are available:

z Plug and Play—Also known as the Discovery Protocol. This is the easiest method for

AP provisioning. With plug and play, Ortronics APs can be connected to the network
and brought into operation automatically. Although plug and play requires no manual
intervention for the APs, this method does require specific services to be configured on
your network in advance.

z AP Provisioning—Using this AP programming mode, AP configuration parameters are

defined on the Wireless Controller (using the CLI or Web interface) and then uploaded
to the APs.

This method can be used for adding Ortronics APs to a highly customized network, or
greatly simplified for the most common provisioning.

z Manual Provisioning—APs can be individually provisioned using a serial console

terminal connected to the AP. Although this method is complex and requires
considerable care, manual provisioning can be used in almost any scenario, with or
without access to the Wireless Controller.

Note Manual provisioning is intended for use when no Ortronics Wireless

Controller is available, and is not generally recommended as the
primary method of AP provisioning. Plug and play or AP programming
mode are the preferred provisioning methods.

Provisioning Access Points 5

Chapter 2

Each of these three methods is explained in the following sections. Use these procedures for
initial provisioning of APs. To change the configuration for APs that have already been
provisioned, go to Maintenance > Program AP > Re-Provision. See the Ortronics Wireless
Software User’s Guide for more information on reprovisioning existing APs.

Discovery Protocol

The Discovery Protocol is a plug and play provisioning tool for Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO.
The Discovery Protocol performs two tasks:

z Obtains the IP address of the TFTP server from which it downloads the AP boot image

z It discovers the IP address of the master Ortronics Wireless Controller in the network

from which the AP can download its configuration.

The address of the TFTP server that the protocol discovers is the equivalent of the
BOOTROM environment variable serverip. The IP address of the Ortronics Wireless
Controller is the equivalent of the environment variable master.

The protocol can discover these values using DHCP or by discovery. In the case of DHCP,
the discovery protocol relies on a DHCP server which is configured to return the IP address
of the master Controller using the Vendor Specific Options in DHCP. To facilitate the
discovery protocol, Ortronics APs include this Vendor Specific Option in the requested
Option list, and if the DHCP server is configured to return the IP address of the Master
switch, the IP address will be a part of the DHCP response. This is used by the AP to get its
image as well as its configuration.

Discovery of the serverip and master variables is necessary when the DHCP response does
not include the Vendor Specific option. The AP attempts to discover an Ortronics Master
Wireless Controller by sending multicast packets and broadcast packets on its subnet. To use
the discovery method, the ADP discovery mechanism needs to be enabled on the Ortronics
Master Wireless Controller (using the adp discovery enable command).

If multicast routing is enabled in the IP network between the AP and the Master Wireless
Controller (which can be any one or more Ortronics Wireless Controllers in the network),
the IGMP-Join option should be enabled on the Ortronics Wireless Controller (using the
adp igmp-join enable command). If multicast routing is not enabled on the
network, the Ortronics Wireless Controllers need to be on the same broadcast domain as the
AP or an “IP Helper” must be configured to direct the broadcast discovery protocol packets
to the Ortronics Wireless Controller.

6 Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO Part OR-71601435 Rev 02

Installation Guide Draft 2006

Once these discovery prerequisites are met, the switch will respond to APs with the IP
address of the Ortronics Master Wireless Protocol. The APs can then obtain their image and
configuration.

To enable Discovery Protocol on an Ortronics Wireless Controller, enter:

(A5000) (config) #adp discovery enable

To enable IGMP-Join on an ADP multicast group on an Ortronics Wireless Controller, enter:

(A5000) (config) #adp igmp-join enable

Note If you have location-specific configurations for your Access Points, you will

need to apply this configuration information using AP Reprovisioning.
Refer to the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s Guide for details on AP
Reprovisioning and see the feature description below.

AP Reprovisioning

AP Reprovisioning is the process by which APs are assigned, for example, location codes.
Location codes are important for recalibration and triangulation. For details on AP
Reprovisioning, see the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s Guide.

Provisioning Access Points 7

Chapter 2

AP Provisioning

AP Provisioning is useful for brand new APs with default configurations. To perform AP
Provisioning from the GUI:

1Go to Maintenance > Program AP.

On this window, there are two tabs: Provisioning and Reprovisioning. The
Provisioning tab is selected by default.

FIGURE 2-1 Provisioning Tab

2 Configure the APs IP address on the Subnet and the Netmask.

This is the subnet from which the AP gets an IP during provisioning.

3 Select the Port or Port Range for provisioning.

To set the Port Range, select the first and the last ports of your range. All the ports in
between are automatically selected. (Ports have to be sequentially assigned.)

8 Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO Part OR-71601435 Rev 02

Installation Guide Draft 2006

4 Enter the required information and click Enable.The Port Range screen displays.

FIGURE 2-2 Port Range Screen

5 Plug the AP into one of the ports configured for provisioning.

If your AP is already plugged into the port, unplug it and plug it in again.
If AP is connected through PoE, enter poe off followed by poe on.
The AP will come up with an IP from the provisioning subnet
After the AP comes up it should be in the provisioning list. Provisioning list shows the

list of APs which are plugged into the provisioning ports.

Provisioning Access Points 9

Chapter 2

6 Click the Refresh link (not the browser Refresh option) to see if the AP entry has

displayed. (This might take a moment.)

If you cannot see the entry after 1-2 minutes, click Refresh again.

The Clear Table button appears after an entry in the list appears.

To erase all the table entries, click Clear Table. (You cannot clear selected entries.) If a
number of APs are provisioned and you click Clear Table, only the entries which come
up afterwards can be provisioned.

If the entry does not show up in the AP list, check network connectivity. Go to the AP
console and verify if the AP has come up with the IP from the provisioning subnet.

7 After the entry shows up on the page, configure the location, Host IP/Name, Master IP

address.

If AP is going to be assigned a static IP, click Use the following IP Address and enter
the IP address, Netmask, Gateway IP.

If the AP is going to obtain an IP address using DHCP, click Use IP Address Using
DHCP.

8 After configuring the required parameters, select the entry from the list (AP to which the

configuration has to be applied) and click Apply.

The State field changes from U (Unprovisioned) to In Progress.

9 After a few seconds, click the Refresh link again and the State will have changed to P

(Provisioned).

Note Check that the configured parameters are reflected in the AP list entry.

Note Ortronics recommends that you provision each AP for a unique location as

suggested by site-survey planning. Label each AP with this location infor­mation and place the AP in its proper location. Failure to place APs in the
location for which they were provisioned will reduce the effectiveness of
such RF features as triangulation.

10 Click Back to go into the previous page

We can see that the Subnet is still configured and Port/s are selected.

11 When finished provisioning APs, click Disable to disable AP Provisioning.

10 Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO Part OR-71601435 Rev 02

Installation Guide Draft 2006

Note Disable AP Provisioning after all the required APs are provisioned. Ports

that are enabled for provisioning do not handle traffic. Therefore plugging
an already provisioned AP into a port still set to provisioning mode will pre­vent that AP from functioning.

Now the AP is configured with the Parameters given

12 Reboot the AP so the AP will come up with the new configured parameters.

Use the Reprovisioning tab for APs which are already deployed but need to be reconfigured.
See the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s Guide for information on reprovisioning.

Troubleshooting

After provisioning and deployment, the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO can be configured and
managed through the Ortronics Wireless Controller. However, the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO
includes built-in troubleshooting features for situations where the controller commands are
unable to diagnose AP problems.

This appendix describes using the built-in AP support prompt for troubleshooting.

Accessing the AP Support Prompt

Depending on your network topology, the built-in AP Support prompt can be accessed using
the AP serial console port or through the Wireless Controller using the Serial Over Ethernet
(SoE) interface or using Telnet from a remote management station.

Direct SPOE Connection to Wireless Controller

This method requires that the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO is connected directly to an
SPOE-compatible network port on the Ortronics Wireless Controller (see “Connecting
Required Cables” on page 13).

1 Telnet to the Ortronics Wireless Controller Serial-Over-Ethernet (SoE) interface.

Use a Telnet client on your management workstation to connect to the Ortronics Wire­less Controller IP address using logical port 2300. The connection command may vary
depending on the specific software used, but commonly appears as follows:

> telnet <Wireless Controller IP address> 2300

Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates
in the 5GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band. Data is trans­mitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to 54 Megabits per second
(Mbps).

z 802.11b provides compatibility with a large user base.

802.11b operation uses the IEEE 802.11 High-Rate Direct Sequence (HRDS) specifica­tion, and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates in the 2.4 GHz Indus­trial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available worldwide for
unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 11 Mbps.

z 802.11g provides a high data rate and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

802.11g operation uses ODFM and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates
in the 2.4 GHz Industrial/Scientific/Medical (ISM) band. The ISM band is available
worldwide for unlicensed use. Data is transmitted at speeds of up to 54 Mbps.

Power over Ethernet

The Ortronics Access Point supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet
(PoE). With this feature, the Ortronics Access Point can accept electrical power from a
compatible PoE-capable device (such as the Ortronics OR-WCU-5, OR-WCU-16 and OR­WCU-48) directly over the FE cable. PoE eliminates the need to provide separate power
outlets in environments that are difficult or undesirable to wire for electricity.

The Ortronics Access Point also supports “inline” and “midspan” PoE devices for normal
operation.
