NOTE
6.
The AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R requests an IP address from the DHCP
server, and the DHCP server returns an IP address for the AP or
UNIVERGE WL 1200R, and also returns the <Switch IP Address> of the
configuring UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller.
Once the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R finds the configuring UNIVERGE
WL Wireless Controller, it attempts to download the new UNIVERGE WL
Operating System code if the AP code version differs from the config-
uring UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller code version. While this is
happening, the LEDs on the top of the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R blink
on and off together.
7.
Once the UNIVERGE WL Operating System code download is successful,
the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R reboots. The GREEN LED turns on and
the two YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LEDs indicate the states of the
802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. If any part of the network is disabled
in the configuring UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller, the corresponding
YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LED remains off.
-
Note that the Red LED can light for a short period (10-20
seconds) when the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R reboots. If the
RED LED comes on AND STAYS ON for more than a minute,
disconnect the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R and call NEC
Technical Support.
-
From the CLI, Web Browser or WLCS interface, configure the AP
with its Primary UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller name (which
can be the name of the configuring UNIVERGE WL Wireless
Controller).
-
If required, use the CLI, Web Browser or WLCS interface to
customize the AP- or UNIVERGE WL 1200R-specific 802.11a,
802.11b and 802.11g network settings. Once again, the two
YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LEDs indicate the states of the
802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. If any part of the network is
disabled, the corresponding YELLOW/AMBER/ORANGE LED
remains off.
8.
If everything works (the GREEN LED is on and the RED LED is off),
reboot the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R and install it as described in this
document. If your UNIVERGE WL AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R fails this
visual test, refer to the RMA Procedures located in the UNIVERGE WL
Product Documentation to return your UNIVERGE WL APs.
When you are installing a UNIVERGE WL 1200R or a Layer 3 UNIVERGE
WL AP on a different subnet than the UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller,
MAKE SURE that a DHCP server is available on the subnet where you will
be installing the AP or UNIVERGE WL 1200R, and that the subnet has a
route back to the Primary UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller. Also make
sure that the route back to the UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller has
destination UDP ports 12222 and 12223 open for LWAPP communications.
Ensure the route back to the Primary UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller
allows IP packet fragments. Finally, make sure that if address translation
is used, that the AP and the UNIVERGE WL Wireless Controller have a
static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not
supported.)
