Alternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point
blink sequentially back and forth for more than five minutes, the AP is unable to find its Primary
Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch. Check the connection between the AP and
the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch, and make sure the AP and the Nortel
Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch are either on the same subnet or that the AP has a
route back to its Primary Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch. Note that the
Remote Edge Access Points at each remote location must be on the same subnet to allow client
roaming. Also, if the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point is not
on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch, make sure there
is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote
Edge Access Point.
After you have prepared all Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points, reconfigure the Nortel Networks
WLAN - Wireless Security Switch so it is not the Master. A Master Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless
Security Switch should only be used for configuring Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Points and not in a
working network.

Alternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point
If your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point has Operating System 2.0 or a later version (which
includes all Remote Edge Access Points) loaded on it, you may choose to use this procedure. If your AP
has Operating System 1.2 or earlier loaded on it, or if you do not know what version the AP has loaded,
use the
Preparing a Version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point
procedure above.
Note:
This procedure assumes that you are preparing a version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN -
Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point to interoperate with a version 2.0 Nortel Networks
WLAN - Wireless Security Switch. It also assumes that your Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless
Security Switch is already operating in
LWAPP Layer 3 Mode
. It also assumes that you are
using the Internet Software Consortium (ISC) DHCP Server V3.0pl1. Finally, it assumes that if
you have deployed multiple Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switches, that the
Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch you use to initialize the Nortel Networks
WLAN - Access Point is in an Airespace Mobility Group with the Primary Airespace Switch or
Appliance you want to assign to the new Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote
Edge Access Point.
When you are preparing a version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point to interoperate with a
version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch, use the procedure found in the version
1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point Quick Installation Guide.
