To install the faceplate, follow these steps:
1.
Unpack the faceplate, keys, mounting brackets, and four small screws.
2.
Place one mounting bracket on the right front side of the appliance matching two holes in
the bracket with two holes in the appliance. The bracket should be oriented so that the
R
faces the side of the appliance and the small oblong slot is in the front of the unit.
3.
Attach the bracket to the appliance using the provided small screws. Repeat these steps to
attach the second bracket.
4.
After the brackets have been attached, use the included key to unlock the faceplate (it is
shipped in the locked position).
5.
Place the faceplate on the front of the unit, sliding the lock into the small slot on the front of
the unit.
6.
Secure the faceplate in place by turning the lock to the locked position and sliding the small
flanges on either side of the faceplate into the oblong slots on the brackets.

If you cannot find the IP address of the vWLAN hardware appliance through a DHCP server, you
can use the Serial port. To find the IP address using the Serial port on the rear of the appliance,
follow these steps:
1.
Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable (not provided in shipment) to the
serial port on the back of the appliance hardware.
2.
Connect the other end of the serial cable to the PC.
3.
Open a VT100 terminal session with the following settings:
9600
baud,
8
data bits, no
parity, and
1
stop bit (no flow control).
4.
When prompted, enter the username
vwlan
and the password
vwlan
.
5.
You are now connected to the vWLAN command line interface (CLI). Enter the command
interface i
<ip address> <network mask> <gateway address>
to specify the static IP
address for the network interface.
6.
You can optionally continue to configure the vWLAN hardware appliance using the CLI as
described in the

configuration as described in

Follow these steps to configure the ADTRAN Bluesocket vWLAN hardware appliance for
installation:
1.
Place the vWLAN hardware appliance in the location where you will manage it. Insert the
power cable into the power port on the rear panel of the unit.
2.
Connect the vWLAN hardware appliance to the network with Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) configured using the
Network
port (public network interface) on the rear
panel of the unit. The
Network
port, or public network interface, is used to reach the APs,
for cloud connectivity where applicable, and for vWLAN-to-vWLAN communication when
using high availability. The port labeled
MGMT
(private network interface) is not typically
used for these purposes. The
MGMT
port, or private network interface, is designed for
initial configuration using a computer without connecting to the serial or local network
connectivity for out-of-band management.
3.
Plug the unattached end of the power cable into a properly grounded AC power receptacle.
4.
Power on the hardware appliance by pressing the black
Power
button on the front panel of
the unit. The appliance may take up to five minutes to boot, or longer if Dynamic Name
Service (DNS) is not configured.
5.
Once the boot is complete, locate the IP address of the hardware appliance from either the
DHCP server or from the serial console menu. If you cannot find the IP address of the
appliance in a DHCP server, refer to

)
The vWLAN hardware appliance is shipped with a locking faceplate that can be installed on the
front of the unit. The faceplate should be installed after the appliance is mounted and powered
on.
•
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment
in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by
the manufacturer.
•
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
•
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
