Running the Setup Wizard
The default IP address of the switch is 172.16.0.254. When you connect a PC or workstation to a line port on
the switch, you can connect to this IP address through a Web browser to run the Setup Wizard.
You can use any PC or workstation on which you can run a Web browser. The system must either be
configured to obtain its IP address via DHCP or configured to have a static IP address on the 172.16.0.0/24
subnetwork.
To run the Setup Wizard:
1. Make sure that the switch is not connected to any device on your network.
2. Boot up the Alcatel-Lucent switch.
3. Connect your PC or workstation to a line port on the switch.
4. On your PC or workstation, open a Web browser and connect to https://172.16.0.254.
5. The switch contains a default server certificate. At the Security Alert, click
Yes
to proceed with the
Setup Wizard.
6. Enter the information described in
Table 1
.
7. Click
Continue
to install software licenses on the switch.
Proceed to
"Connect the Controller to the Wired Network" on page 4
Serial Port Connection
The serial port is located on the front panel of the switch. When you connect a terminal or PC/workstation
running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch, you enter the Initial Setup dialog.
To run the Initial Setup dialog from a serial connection:
1. Configure your terminal or terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings:
2. Connect your terminal or PC/workstation to the serial port on the switch using an RS-232 serial cable.
All accessory kits shipped with Alcatel-Lucent controllers contain an RJ-45 cable and DB-9 to RJ-45
adapter for this purpose. You may need to provide a USB adapter to connect the serial cable to your PC.
N O T E
A digital certificate is a way to validate a device on the network. The default certificate installed in the switch does
not guarantee security in production networks. Alcatel-Lucent strongly recommends that you replace the default
certificate with a custom certificate issued for your site or domain by a trusted Certificate Authority. See the
AOS-
W 3.4 User Guide
for more information about certificates.

The serial port connection allows you to configure the basic configuration required to connect the switch to the
network. The browser-based Setup Wizard allows you to also install software licenses and configure internal and
guest WLANs (see “Run the Setup Wizard” on page 1). If you use the Initial Setup dialog to configure the switch,
the Setup Wizard will not be available unless you reset the switch to its factory default configuration.
