The ADTRAN Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN) is a secure wireless 
solution composed of the vWLAN hardware appliance and associated BlueSecure access points 
(BSAPs). The vWLAN hardware appliance runs vWLAN software and is configured by installing 
the hardware appliance and associated access points (APs). This document describes the initial 
setup of the vWLAN hardware appliance for use with vWLAN.

If you are unable to connect to the vWLAN hardware appliance using the serial connection, and 
are unable to find the IP address in the DHCP server, follow these steps to access the hardware 
appliance:
1.

Connect a computer to the port labeled 

MGMT

 (private network interface) on the rear of the 

appliance using a standard Gigabit Ethernet cable. The default IP address of the port is 

10.251.252.1

 with a network mask of 

255.255.255.0

.

2.

To reach the 

MGMT

 interface, set the static IP address of the computer to something in the 

same subnet as the default IP address of the appliance, for example, 

10.251.252.2

.

3.

Connect directly to the port and enter 

https://10.251.252.1:3000

 in a web browser.

4.

Connect to the GUI for configuration as described in 

Connecting to the vWLAN GUI

ONNECTING TO THE V

WLAN GUI

Once you have the IP address of the vWLAN hardware appliance, you can connect to the web-
based graphical user interface (GUI) by following these steps:
1.

Enter the unit’s IP address in a browser window in the following format: 

https://

<applianceipaddress>

:3000

.

2.

Enter the default administrative user name (

[email protected]

) and the default password 

(

blueblue

) when prompted.

3.

You are now connected to the vWLAN. You should first change the user name and 
password to match your domain.

4.

You can now begin configuring the APs associated with the vWLAN and other configuration 
tasks outlined in the 

vWLAN Administrator Guide

.
