Connecting to Access Points
After WL Controller is mounted and installed, connect the WL Access Points to a
network.
When UNIVERGE WL System operates with Layer 2 mode, WL Access Point
will search for a WL Controller in the network, and send connection demand. In
this case, you have to put APs in the same subnet (segment) with the WL
Controller.
When UNIVERGE WL System operates with Layer 3 mode, WL Access Point
and WL Controller communicate with each other on network level (IP address).
Therefore, Access Point requires DHCP Server to acquire an IP address before
communicating with WL Controller. After Access Points acquire IP addresses,
they send connection request to the WL Controller.
WL Controller automatically configure the APs and starts to communicate with
them. Then, clients such as mobile users will be able to communicate with each
other through WL System.
DHCP Server Setting
UNIVERGE WL System requires DHCP Server if you will operate it with Layer
3 mode. Because WL Access Points acquire IP addresses from DHCP Server, it is
required to install the DHCP Server in the same subnet with the APs.
DHCP Server function of WL Controller can distribute IP addresses to WL
Access Points.
For data assignment on DHCP Server, network information (IP Address, subnet
mask, and default gateway) for WL APs is required. In addition, the system IP
address of WL Controller must be set to DHCP Option 43 by ASCII characters.
