Connecting Required Cables
Install cables in accordance with all applicable local and
national regulations and practices.
Verifying Post-Installation Connectivity
The integrated LEDs on the access point can be used to verify
that the access point is receiving power and initializing
successfully (see Table 1). Refer to the AOS-W Quick Start
Guide/Alcatel-Lucent Instant Quick Start Guide for further
details on verifying post-installation network connectivity.
Configuring the 300 Series Access Points
Access Point Provisioning/Reprovisioning
Provisioning parameters are unique to each access point.
These local access point parameters are initially configured
on the switch which are then pushed out to the access point
and stored on the access point itself. Alcatel-Lucent
recommends that provisioning settings be configured via the
AOS-W Web UI only. Refer to the AOS-W User Guide for
complete details.
Access Point Configuration
Configuration parameters are network or switch specific and
are configured and stored on the switch. Network
configuration settings are pushed out to the access point but
remain stored on the switch.
Configuration settings can be configured via the AOS-W Web
UI or AOS-W CLI. Refer to the AOS-W User Guide for complete
details.
The installer is responsible for securing the access point
onto the ceiling tile rail in accordance with the steps below.
Failure to properly install this product may result in
physical injury and/or damage to property.
The instructions for this section are applicable to the
OAW-AP304 and OAW-AP305 only.
