Configuring the Altitude AP

Summit WM Series WLAN Switch and Altitude Access Point Software Version 4.1 User Guide

If you use this method for discovery, place an A record in the DNS server for Controller.<domain-

name>. The <domain-name> is optional, but if used, ensure it is listed with the DHCP server.

● Step 5 – Use a multicast SLP request to find SLP SAs

If all of the preceding methods fail to locate a Summit WM series switch, the Altitude AP sends a

multicast SLP request, looking for any SLP Service Agents providing the Extreme Networks service.

Registration after discovery

Any of the discovery steps 2 through 5 can inform the Altitude AP of a list of multiple IP addresses to

which the Altitude AP may attempt to connect. Once the Altitude AP has discovered these addresses, it

sends out connection requests to each of them. These requests are sent simultaneously. The Altitude AP

will attempt to register only with the first which responds to its request.

When the Altitude AP obtains the IP address of the Summit WM series switch, it connects and registers,

sending its serial number identifier to the Summit WM series switch, and receiving from the Summit

WM series switch a port IP address and binding key.

Once the Altitude AP is registered with a Summit WM series switch, the Altitude AP must be

configured. After the Altitude AP is registered and configured, it can be assigned to a WM Access

Domain Services (WM-AD) to handle wireless traffic.

Default Altitude AP configuration

Default AP configuration simplifies the registration after discovery process. Default Altitude AP

configuration acts as a configuration template that can be automatically assigned to new registering

APs. The default Altitude AP configuration allows you to specify common sets of radio configuration

parameters and WM-AD assignments for APs. For more information, see “Configuring the default AP

settings” on page 66.

Understanding the Altitude AP LED status

When the Altitude AP is powered on and boots, you can follow its progress through the registration

process by observing the LED sequence described below.

The Status LED (center) also indicates power—unlit when unit is off, and green (solid) when the AP has

completed discovery and is operational.

Never disconnect an Altitude AP from its power supply during a firmware upgrade.
