Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W 6.5.3.x - Basic Functions and Features

The power supply, POE-AF indicates that a pre-standard PoE injector is being used to power up the AP. This
causes the operational state of the Ethernet port to go down. To resolve this issue, enable the ap2xx-
prestandard-poe-detection parameter from the respective provisioning profile of the AP:
(host) (config) #ap provisioning-profile <profile-name>
(host) (Provisioning profile "<profile-name>") #ap2xx-prestandard-poe-detection
This parameter is applicable only for the OAW-AP200 Series, OAW-AP210 Series, OAW-AP220 Series, OAW-AP270
Series, or OAW-AP203R Series access points and OAW-AP203H, OAW-AP205H, or OAW-AP228.
Accessing the CLI after an image upgrade
After the AP image is upgraded, users cannot access the CLI for the first 180 seconds of uptime. The following
message appears when a user attempts to login to the CLI during the initial 180 second uptime period:
login as: admin
System uptime is 147 seconds and CLI is not ready yet, please try again later.
Basic Functions and Features
You configure APs using the WebUI and the CLI on the switch. Table 119 lists the basic configuration functions
and features.
Features
and
Function
Description
Wireless LANs A wireless LAN (WLAN) permits wireless clients to connect to the network. An AP
broadcasts the SSID (which corresponds to a WLAN configured on the switch) to wireless
clients. APs support multiple SSIDs. WLAN configuration includes the authentication
method and the authentication servers by which wireless users are validated for access.
The WebUI includes a WLAN Wizard that provides easy-to-follow steps to configure a new
WLAN.
NOTE: All new WLANs are associated with the ap-group named “default”.
AP operation An AP can function as an AP that serves clients, as an air monitor (AM) performing network
and radio frequency (RF) monitoring, or as a hybrid AP that serves both clients and
performs spectrum analysis a single radio channel. You can also specify the regulatory
domain (the country) which determines the 802.11 transmission spectrum in which the AP
will operate. Within the regulated transmission spectrum, you can configure 802.11a,
802.11b/g, or 802.11n (high-throughput) radio settings.
NOTE: The 802.11n features, such as high-throughput and 40 MHz configuration settings,
are supported on APs that are 802.11n standard compliant.
Quality of
Service (QoS)
Configure Voice over IP call admission control options and bandwidth allocation for 5 GHz
(802.11a) or 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g) frequency bands of traffic.
