1 Introduction

The Symbol WS5100 Wireless Switch is the high-performance member of Symbol’s
WS5000 Series family. The WS5100, which is built on the same award-winning hardware

and software architecture as the WS5000 platform, provides centralized Wireless LAN
(WLAN) configuration and management by coalescing the network “intelligence” that
was previously spread across physically distributed access points. By replacing access
points with simpler access ports (or “thin” access points), the WS5100 becomes the single
point of contact with the WLAN thus reducing, the complexity of wireless networking by
moving management out of the ceiling and into the wiring closet. In addition, through the
use of Symbol’s patented Virtual AP architecture, the WS5100 lets you create multiple
WLANs without changing or adding to the existing wired network infrastructure.

This document is written for the network device installer.

• During the Power On Self Test (POST), the two LEDs cycle through all three colors
(blue, amber, red).

• If the POST test fails, both LEDs will eventually blink red. If the POST test succeeds,
the LEDs will be (momentarily) lit solid blue.

• As the software is initialized, the top LED will be solid blue, and the bottom LED will
be unlit.

• After the software has finished initializing, the top LED will be solid amber, and the
bottom LED will blink amber. The WS5100 is ready to be configured, as described in
the next chapter.

Other LED codes indicate the presence (or absence) of access ports, different standby
states, and so on. A guide to the WS5100 LEDs codes is provided in “

LED Codes” on

page 4.

WS5000 Series: WS5100 Installation Guide

4 Preliminary Configuration through the CLI

Most of the practical configuration of the WS5100 is performed through the Quick Start
View applet. However, to access the applet you first have to use the Command Line

Interface (CLI) to configure the Ethernet port that connects the switch to the wired LAN.

Before proceeding with the CLI instructions described below, connect a configuration
computer to the WS5100, as described in “

Adding the WS5100 to the Network” on page 6.

Keep in mind the switch doesn’t have to be deployed into the network to perform this
initial configuration.

4.1 Typographical Conventions

The following typographical conventions apply to the CLI examples:

• The CLI prompt and output are shown as

unbolded.

• Text that you enter verbatim is

bold.

• Values that you “make up” (as command parameters) are in

bold italics.

For example:

ws5000.(Cfg).Ethernet.[2]>set gateway w.x.y.z

Here, everything up to and including the “>” is part of the CLI prompt; set gateway is a
CLI command;

w.x.y.z is a value you create (or otherwise obtain) as appropriate for

your network.

4.2 Logging Into the CLI

After you’ve connected the WS5100 through the serial port and powered on the switch,
the terminal emulation window displays a series of inscrutable diagnostic messages
(which you can ignore), after which it will display the WS5000 Series user name prompt.
Use the name cli to continue:

user name: cli

Next, you’ll be taken to the CLI login. Log in as admin with the password symbol:

NOTE If the user name prompt isn’t displayed, press Enter until it

appears.

4.3 Disable DHCP on the Wired LAN Port

To perform the initial configuration, disable DHCP on the Ethernet port that connects to
the wired LAN. Connect to the LAN through either Ethernet port; by convention, and as
used throughout this document, Ethernet port 2 is used as the wired LAN port.

By default, DHCP is enabled on Ethernet port 2. Disable DHCP on the port by entering the

Ethernet.[2] context and issuing the set dhcp disable command:

WS5000>cfg ethernet 2
WS5000.(Cfg).Ethernet.[2]>set dhcp disable

After you disable DHCP, information about Ethernet port 2 is listed. In this listing,

DHCP Status should be given as Disable:

4.4 Set Static IP Information on the Wired LAN Port

Within the Ethernet.[2] context, use the ipaddress command to set the static IP
address and subnet mask (in that order):

WS5000.(Cfg).Ethernet.[2]>ipaddress w.x.y.z 255.d.e.f

Preliminary Configuration through the CLI

13

Next, set the gateway and DNS server addresses:

WS5000.(Cfg).Ethernet.[2]>set gateway a.b.c.d
WS5000.(Cfg).Ethernet.[2]>set dns m.n.o.p

After each of these commands, information about the context is displayed. Check the IP
address settings to make sure they’re correct.

At this point, the initial configuration of the WS5100 is complete. Continue the
configuration through the switch’s Web-based applet interface, as described in the next
section.

WS5000 Series: WS5100 Installation Guide

14

5 Further Configuration through the Quick Start View

To complete the initial configuration of the WS5100, use the Quick Start View. The
Quick Start View is part of the WS5000 Series applet, a Web-based tool that lets you
configure your WS5100 switch through an intuitive graphical interface. The Quick Start
View portion of the applet is designed to take a factory-fresh switch and bring it up to a
minimal working configuration. For advanced switch configuration, refer to the WS5000
Series System Reference, which you’ll find on the product CD.

Using the instructions below, create a WLAN policy and a security policy. You’ll then
apply these policies to the WS5100 switch policy. After you’ve created and applied the
policies, you should be able to adopt and communicate with properly configured mobile
units, as described in “

Verifying the Configuration” on page 22.

5.1 Applet Requirements

The WS5000 Series applet is accessed through Internet Explorer version 5.5 using the
SUN JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 1.4.2_04. (Later versions of IE and the SUN JRE
are also supported.) A copy of the SUN JRE is provided with your WS5100 product CD.
To install the JRE, insert the CD, wait for the Flash menu to appear, and then select

Install the SUN JRE.

To prepare Internet Explorer to run the WS5000 Series applet:

1. Open IE’s Tools > Internet Options panel and select the Advanced tab.

2. Uncheck the following checkboxes:

• Use HTTP 1.1

• Java console enabled (requires restart)

6 Verifying the Configuration

The surest way to verify your WLAN configuration is valid and that the switch is fully
operational, is to associate a mobile unit (MU) and confirm that the MU can communicate
with a device on the wired LAN. Follow these steps:

1. Deploy the WS5100 into the wired and wireless networks by connecting the Ethernet

cables as described in “

Adding the WS5100 to the Network” on page 6.

2. Identify, by IP address or host name, a computer the WS5100 can communicate with

over the wired LAN. This is the device the MU will try to communicate with later in
these instructions.

3. Make sure an access port has been adopted by the WS5100.

4. Configure the MU with the same ESSID (MyWLAN) and WEP encryption settings that

you used in the Quick Start View configuration.

5. After you’ve configured the MU, verify that it has been associated by the returning to

the

Policy View screen and clicking Mobile Units. The MU View should have an entry

that identifies your mobile unit and shows the

RF State as Associated. If it doesn’t,

check the ESSID and encryption settings are properly set on the MU.

Verifying the Configuration

23

6. If you want more information, select the mobile unit and click Properties. The MU

Properties

dialogue displays everything the switch knows about your mobile unit.

7. Finally, verify the WS5100 is fully operational on both sides of the network (wired

and wireless) by pinging the device on the wired LAN from the MU. If the wired
device responds, the switch is working. If it doesn’t respond, make sure the wired
device is on, it’s on the proper LAN, and you’re pinging the correct IP address or host
name.

8 Additional CLI Information

8.1 CLI Contexts

At each step of the configuration, you’ll be asked to invoke CLI commands within a
particular “context.” To enter the main “configuration” context, type

configure at the

top-level CLI prompt. The prompt changes when you change contexts:

ws5000> configure
ws5000.(Cfg)>

All of the contexts in the following instructions are “subcontexts” of the configure
context. For example, to get to the WLAN context you would type

wlan within the

configure context:

ws5000.(Cfg)> wlan
ws5000.(Cfg).WLAN>

As a shortcut, jump directly to a configuration subcontext through the
“

configure subcontext” command:

ws5000> configure wlan
ws5000.(Cfg).WLAN>

As a further shortcut, the CLI performs silent auto-completion of unambiguous
commands. As an example, “

conf” is a sufficient abbreviation for “configure”. If you

enter an abbreviated command that isn’t unambiguous (i.e. that can resolve to more than
one command), you’ll be presented with a list of command completions.

8.2 Common CLI Commands

Within any context, you can:

• List all the available commands by typing

help or ?

• Show the current configuration settings by typing show.

• Bump up one configuration context level by typing

.. (two periods).

• Get back to the top-level context by typing “

exit”.

NOTE All CLI commands are case-insensitive. All user-created

data (the name you give a policy that you create, for
example) is case-sensitive.
