SolutionSystem Director versions 5.2 and later provide support for an easy-to-use “EzSetup
Wizard”
The EzSetup page is automatically launched when the controller boots up. To access it, connect all the devices to the switch and power up the controller. Then, follow the steps below:
1. Open a web browser on the laptop.
2. Navigate to https://192.168.1.12. This is the default IP address assigned to the controller (you will be able to change it during the setup process). A welcome screen will appear introducing you to the setup wizard.
3. Click Next to begin the setup process. The Basic Configuration screen appears.
4. Enter the required information as described in the following table. Note that all fields in the Basic Configuration screen are required.
5.Upload Licenses
6. If your APs are already connected via the switch (as instructed earlier in this section), they should automatically show up in the Connected APs table. Click Next to continue to channel selection.
7. The Select Channel screen allows you to specify the channel on which your APs will operate. Note that the available bands will vary depending on the licenses installed (i.e., an 802.11n license is required for some models of AP in order to utilize 802.11n frequencies). It is recommended that you click the Start Scanning button when first setting up a deployment; this option will allow the controller to scan the wireless environment and assess which channels would be ideal for your AP configuration.
8. Specify the band and channel options desired and click Next. This screen will allow you to create a basic wireless profile for the deployment.
9. Click Add to open the Add/Edit Wireless Service dialog. Enter the SSID desired for your wireless service. The SSID will be the name seen when you attempt to connect a wireless station to the network.
10. Use the Security Mode drop-down to select your security mechanism. Note that depending on the mode selected, you will need to enter additional information (i.e., if Static WEP is selected, you will need to enter a WEP Key used to connect to the network).
11. If desired, provide the VLAN configuration in the fields provided. This information is optional.
12. When all fields are configured correctly, click Save to save the profile. It will be displayed in the Wireless Service table.
13. Repeat steps 12-16 for additional wireless profiles, if desired. When finished, click Next to proceed.
14. The final screen provides a summary of your configuration options. If everything is configured correctly, click Finish to complete the wizard. The controller will reboot and apply the changes.
