connect the switch to your network when running the Setup Wizard. The factory-default switch boots up
with a default IP address and both DHCP server and spanning tree functions are enabled. Once you have

Table 1
Prerequisites for the setup wizard
Requirement
Description
System Name
A user-defined name by which the Controller will be referenced. You can specify a name of up
to 63 characters.
Country Code
The country in which the switch will operate. The country code determines the 802.11
wireless transmission spectrum.
NOTE:
You cannot change the country code for controllers designated for certain countries,
such as the U.S. or Israel. Improper country code assignment can disrupt wireless
transmissions. Most countries impose penalties and sanctions for operators of wireless
networks with devices set to improper country codes.
admin Password
Password of up to 32 characters for the
admin
user to log in to the switch.
Enable Mode
Password
Password of up to 15 characters for the
admin
user to access the Enable mode in the CLI.
Date and Time
You can either manually set the date, time, and GMT time zone or specify the IP address of an
NTP server from which the switch will obtain its date and time settings.
Controller Mode
z
Standalone: If this is the only switch on the network.
z
Master: If this switch will manage other controllers on the network. You are prompted for a
key that will be used by all controllers on the network.
z
Local: If this switch will be managed by a master switch. You are prompted for a key that
will be used by all controllers on the network. (You need to provide the IP address of the
master switch.)
VLAN 1
The switch takes its IP address from VLAN 1. The switch uses the configured IP address to
communicate with other controllers and with APs.
Default Gateway
This is usually the IP address of the interface on the upstream switch or router to which you
will connect the switch. The default gateway and the VLAN 1 IP address need to be in the
same network.
N O T E
These configurations are not available if you use a serial port connection to the switch to run an initial setup. See
“Serial Port Connection” on page 3.
