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

https://
<applianceipaddress>
:3000
.
2.
Enter the default administrative user name (
) and the default password
(
