System Planning and Deployment Scenarios

ProSAFE Wireless Controller
The access points and wireless controller are connected in the same subnet and use the
same IP address range that is assigned for that subnet. The configuration does not include
any routers between the access points and the wireless controller. The access points are
connected to a PoE switch, which, in turn, is connected to the wireless controller. The uplink
of the PoE switch connects to a Layer 3 switch or router that provides Internet access.
 To provision the wireless controller:
Step Configuration Web Management Interface Path
1. Configure the system and network settings of the wireless
controller:
1. Configure the country code of operation.
Configuration > System > General
2. Configure the time settings.
Configuration > System > Time
3. Configure the IP address of the wireless controller.
Configuration > System > IP/VLAN
4. Verify that VLAN 1 is set as the management VLAN and is
marked as untagged.
By default, VLAN 1 an untagged management VLAN.
5. If no network DHCP server is accessible to the access points,
configure the wireless controller’s DHCP server.
Configuration > System > DHCP
Server
2. Configure up to eight profiles, and for each profile, do at least the
following:
1. Configure an SSID for WiFi access.
Configuration > Profile > Basic
2. Configure the network authentication and data encryption.
3. Assign the VLAN.
4. If necessary for the selected network authentication option,
configure the authentication server.
Configuration > Security > Basic >
Authentication Server
3. Use any port of the wireless controller to connect the WiFi PoE
switch.
4. Deploy the access points and connect them to the same WiFi
PoE switch.
