Configuration Files - Optional
An initial configuration file can be used to rapidly configure the AP via the OMC-R Create
Site Wizard. This is an alternative to using settings from an existing AP. Additional
configuration files can be loaded against the AP object after it has been created by the
Create Site Wizard. If they will be used, the location of any configuration files must be
known.
When using configuration files, it is recommended, as a minimum, to create a generic
configuration file that contains attribute settings that are common to all APs in the network.
Optionally create a separate attributes file for each AP to be commissioned.
Configuration files are describe in section 4.
2.2.4
Optional Items for Commissioning
The optional items in this section can only be used if the commissioning terminal is running
a web server that provides a path to any ip.access AP software download packages. That
is, the required .sdp files must be present on the commissioning terminal.
Setting up a web server for this purpose on the commissioning terminal is outside the scope
of this manual.

If there is a requirement to update the AP’s software during commissioning, the relevant
.sdp file must be present on the commissioning terminal.
ATAS File
If there is a requirement to update the AP’s security certificates during commissioning, the
relevant .sdp file containing the ATAS package must be present on the commissioning
terminal.
2.2.5
Information Required for Commissioning
All nano3G AP models require the configuration details listed in this section. This
information will be to commission an AP from the commissioning terminal, so that the AP
can subsequently connect to its serving AP Management System.
It is possible to commission an AP before taking it on site.
For connecting to the AP from the commissioning terminal:
• User name and password for the AP web server - if necessary, contact customer
support at ip.access for the current user name and password
For commissioning the AP:
• IP Address or FQDN of the serving AP Management System
• IP Address or FQDN of an NTP server
• DHCP or static IP
• If static IP is required:
• IP address for the AP
