Summit WM User Guide, Software Version 5.3 67
z The Altitude AP waits for 30 seconds in default IP address mode before attempting again to
acquire the IP address from the DHCP.
z The process repeats itself until the DHCP assignment is successful, or until an administrator
assigns the Altitude AP an IP address using static configuration.
NOTE
You can telnet the Altitude AP during the 30 seconds the Altitude AP is assigned its default IP address. If a
static IP address is assigned during this period, you must reboot the Altitude AP for the configuration to take
effect.
z Static configuration - You can assign a static IP address to the Altitude AP. For more information,
see the following section.
Assigning static IP address to Altitude AP
In order to establish the telnet session, you have to ping the Altitude AP's IP address. You must know
the correct IP address to ping. The Altitude AP's IP address may have the default values or the DHCP-
assigned values, depending upon the network condition. The concept is explained with the help of the
following network conditions:
DHCP server is available on the network
The Altitude AP gets the IP address via the DHCP assignment, and successfully discovers the controller.
z If the Altitude AP gets the IP address via the DHCP assignment and it successfully discovers the
controller, you can configure its static IP address via the controller's user interface. For more
information, see "Setting up the Altitude AP using static configuration" on page 114.
The Altitude AP gets the IP address via the DHCP assignment, but fails to discover the controller.
z Ping the IP address that is assigned to the Altitude AP via the DHCP assignment.
DHCP server is not available on the network
The DHCP server is not available on the network, and the Altitude AP reverts to its factory defaults
after trying for 60 seconds to get the IP address via the DHCP assignment.
z Ping the default IP address.
NOTE
The default IP address of all the Altitude AP variants - Altitude AP, Outdoor AP and the Altitude 802.11n AP - is
192.168.1.20.
To assign the static IP address to the Altitude AP:
1 Connect the Altitude AP to network.
2 Ping the Altitude AP's IP address.
3 When the ping is successful, telnet the Altitude AP.
