About the Startup Wizard
Startup Wizard
When an Airespace Wireless Switch or WLAN Appliance is powered up with a new factory AireOS
software load or after being reset to factory defaults, the bootup script runs the Startup Wizard, which
prompts the installer for initial configuration. The Startup Wizard:
•
Ensures that the Airespace Switch or Appliance has a System Name, up to 32 characters.
•
Adds an Administrative User Name and Password, each up to 24 characters.
•
Ensures that the Airespace Switch or Appliance can communicate with the CLI, ACS Software,
or Web Browser AireOS management interfaces (either directly or indirectly) through the
by accepting a valid IP configuration protocol (none or DHCP), and
if ‘none’, IP address and netmask. If you do not want to use the Service (Management) Port,
enter 0.0.0.0 for the IP address and netmask; this disables the Service Port.
Note:
Airespace recommends that you not use the switched network for your AireOS manage-
ment, because a service outage on your switched network means that you have no dedicated
path to the Airespace Wireless Switch.
•
Ensures that the Airespace Switch or Appliance can communicate with the switched network
(802.11 Distribution System) through the
by collecting a valid static IP
configuration protocol (none), IP address, netmask, default router, and physical port
assignment.
•
Collects the WLAN 1 802.11 SSID, or Network Name.
•
Enables and/or disables the 802.11b/g and 802.11a Airespace AP networks.
•
Enables or disables
