Configuring Dynamic Radio Management

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

5 Select one of the two methods of IP address assignment for the Altitude AP:

● Use DHCP – Select this option to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This

option is enabled by default.

● Static Values – Select this option to specify the IP address of the Altitude AP.

■ IP Address – Type the IP address of the AP.

■ Subnet Mask – Type the appropriate subnet mask to separate the network portion from the

host portion of the address.

■ Gateway – Type the default gateway of the network.

NOTE

For first-time deployment of the Altitude AP for static IP assignment, (a branch office scenario is an example of

a setup that may require static IP assignment), it is recommended to use DHCP initially on the central office

network to obtain an IP address for the Altitude AP. Then enter these values in the Static Configuration tab for

this Altitude AP and save the configuration. Since APs ship from the factory with DHCP mode enabled by

default, the APs require the assistance of a local DHCP server to obtain its initial IP address. The AP can then

its target location if necessary.

If the AP IP address is not configured properly, connecting to the AP may not be possible. To recover from this

situation, you will need to reset the AP to its factory default settings. For more information, see “Resetting the

AP to its factory default settings” on page 207.

6 In the Add box, type the IP address of the Summit WM series switch that will control this Altitude

AP.

7 Click Add. The IP address is added to the list.

8 Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add additional Summit WM series switches.

9 Use the Up and Down buttons to modify the order of the controllers. The maximum is three

controllers.

The Altitude AP attempts to connect to the IP addresses in the order in which they are listed. The

Altitude AP is successful when it finds a Summit WM series switch that will allow it to register.

This feature allows the Altitude AP to bypass the discovery process. If the Summit Switch Search

List box is not populated, the Altitude AP will use SLP to discover a Summit WM series switch.

The DHCP function for wireless clients must be provided locally by a local DHCP server, unless

each wireless client has a static IP address.

10 To save your changes, click Save.

Configuring Dynamic Radio Management

The Dynamic Radio Management (DRM) feature for the Altitude AP is enabled by default. The DRM

feature:

● Adjusts power levels to balance coverage if another Altitude AP, which is assigned to the same SSID

and is on the same channel, is added to or leaves the network.

● Allows wireless clients to be moved to another Altitude AP if the load is too high.

● Scans automatically for a channel, using a channel selection algorithm.
