Alternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point
Note:
When you are installing a Remote Edge Access Point or a Layer 3 Nortel Networks WLAN
- Access Point on a different subnet than the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security
Switch, MAKE SURE that a DHCP server is available on the subnet where you will be installing
the AP or Remote Edge Access Point, and that the subnet has a route back to the Primary
Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch. Also make sure that the route back to the
Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security Switch has destination UDP ports 12222 and 12223
open for LWAPP communications. Ensure the route back to the Primary Nortel Networks WLAN
- Wireless Security Switch allows IP packet fragments. Finally, make sure that if address
translation is used, that the Access Point and the Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security
Switch have a static 1-to-1 NAT to an outside address. (Port Address Translation is not
supported.)

When you have installed and powered up the AP or Remote Edge Access Point in its final desti-
nation, verify that the LEDs are in the same state they were in at the end of Step 7. If no LEDs
are on, the AP or Remote Edge Access Point is most likely not receiving power. If all the LEDs
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 that a
DHCP server is accessible on the same subnet as the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or
Remote Edge Access Point.
