To use the external DC power adapter, connect the adapter to the
12V DC
port on the back of the unit. The DC power adapter
automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100 and 240 VAC at
50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
Connecting to the BSAP
If powering the BSAP using a network device such as a switch:
1. Connect the BSAP Ethernet port to the appropriate switch-
port.
2. Obtain the IP address of the BSAP from the Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) server based on the MAC address
of the BSAP. DHCP is enabled by default.
3. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the default IP
address of the BSAP.
If powering the BSAP using a PoE injector:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the BSAP to the
OUT
port of
the PoE injector.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of the computer to the
IN
port on
the PoE injector.
3. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the default IP
address of the BSAP.
If the BSAP is powered using the optional DC power adapter:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the BSAP to the Ethernet port
of the computer.
2. Use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the default IP
address of the BSAP.
Using the BSAP with Express Cloud
Express Cloud is now included with the purchase of new
ADTRAN Bluesocket 2000 and 3000 series APs. Express Cloud
can be used with the BSAP, however Elite Cloud or Elite On-
Premises can be purchased for access to upgraded features.
For initial setup of Express Cloud:
1. Go to
https://adtran.com/cloud
and provide the requested
information to create a new account. Express Cloud access
information and credentials will be sent via email within one
business day.
2. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect BSAP to a
power supply.
3. Connect BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The BSAP
will automatically discover Express Cloud and will display in
the account.
For existing Express Cloud accounts adding additional BSAPs:
1. Go to
https://adtran.com/cloud
.
2. Using the same email address as the existing Express
Cloud account in the email field and the domain name in the
company field.
3. If using an email address that already has an account and a
domain that already exists, you will be adding additional
BSAPs to that existing account and domain.
4. Confirmation that BSAPs have been added will be sent via
email within one business day.
5. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a
power supply.
6. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The
BSAP will automatically discover Express Cloud and will
display in the account.
Express Cloud support is available in the ADTRAN interactive
support community online at
https://supportforums.adtran.com
.
For further details regarding Express Cloud, Elite Cloud and Elite
On-Premises, please refer to the FAQ in the support Community.
For further information on creating an Express Cloud account
refer to Creating an Express Cloud Account in the support
community.
Using the BSAP with Elite Cloud
Purchasing an Elite Cloud subscription automatically creates a
user cloud account. All further communication regarding the
subscription will be provided via email.
For initial setup of Express Cloud:
1. Elite Cloud access information and credentials will be sent
via email within one business day.
2. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a
power supply.
3. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The
BSAP will automatically discover Elite Cloud and will display
in the account.
For existing Elite Cloud accounts purchasing additional BSAPs
and Elite Cloud Subscriptions:
1. Confirmation that the BSAPs have been added will be sent
via email within one business day.
2. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a
power supply.
3. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The
BSAP will automatically discover Elite Cloud and will display
in the account.
Using the BSAP with Elite On-Premises
The BSAP can be configured for use with Elite On-Premises, the
Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN). Using
BSAP discovery to configure the BSAP with a previously-installed
vWLAN can be achieved by allowing the BSAP to discover the
vWLAN and receive its configuration information. This BSAP
discovery process uses an algorithm that attempts discovery
methods in this order: static configuration, Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) vendor option (43), Domain Naming System
(DNS) discovery, cached vWLAN info, and Express/Elite Cloud
Zero Touch discovery. If no response to the discovery request is
received, the algorithm moves to the next method in the list
(except when using static configuration, which never queries the
other discovery methods).
Two additional network components can be configured to facil-
itate BSAP discovery:
