For existing Express Cloud accounts adding additional BSAPs:
1. Go to
2. Using the same email address as the existing Express Cloud account in the email field and the domain name in the company field.
3. If using an email address that already has an account and a domain that already exists, you will be adding additional BSAPs to that existing account and
domain.
4. Confirmation that BSAPs have been added will be sent via email within one business day.
5. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a power supply.
6. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The BSAP will automatically discover Express Cloud and will display in the account.

Managing the BSAP 6040 with Elite Cloud
Purchasing an Elite Cloud subscription automatically creates a user cloud account. All further communication regarding the subscription will be provided via email.
For initial setup of Express Cloud:
1. Elite Cloud access information and credentials will be sent via email within one business day.
2. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a power supply.
3. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The BSAP will automatically discover Elite Cloud and will display in the account.
For existing Elite Cloud accounts purchasing additional BSAPs and Elite Cloud Subscriptions:
1. Confirmation that the BSAPs have been added will be sent via email within one business day.
2. After receiving e-mail confirmation, connect the BSAP to a power supply.
3. Connect the BSAP to an internet-accessed network. The BSAP will automatically discover Elite Cloud and will display in the account.
Managing the BSAP 6040 with Elite On-Premises and AP Discovery
The BSAP 6040 can be configured for use with Elite On-Premises, the Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN) management system. Using AP
discovery to configure the BSAP with a previously-installed vWLAN instance can be achieved by allowing the BSAP to discover the vWLAN instance and receive its
configuration information. This AP discovery process uses an algorithm that attempts discovery methods in this order: static configuration, Dynamic Host Control
Protocol (DHCP) vendor option (43), Domain Naming System (DNS) discovery, cached vWLAN information, and Express/Elite Cloud Zero Touch discovery. If no
response to the discovery request is received, the algorithm moves to the next method in the list (except when using static configuration, which never queries the
other discovery methods).
Two additional network components can be configured to facilitate AP discovery:
1. An external DHCP server can be configured to assign IP addresses to the BSAPs associated with the vWLAN instance. When configuring the DHCP server,
make sure to configure the Bluesocket DHCP Vendor option (
43
) on the server.
2. An external DNS server can be configured to resolve the name
apdiscovery
to the IP address of the vWLAN in the network environment.
For more information on the vWLAN and PNS discovery, refer to the
vWLAN AP Discovery Configuration Guide
available online at

Configuring the BSAP 6040 IP Address or Static Discovery Using the CLI
By default, DHCP is enabled on the BSAP 6040. However, if static configuration is required for the IP address or AP discovery for the BSAP, users can access the
BSAP's CLI using either a VT100 terminal emulation program or an SSH client.
To access the BSAP 6040 CLI using a VT100 terminal emulation program, follow these steps:
1. Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (rollover cable) to the BSAP's
CONSOLE
port, and connect the other end of the serial cable to the PC.
2. Open a VT100 terminal emulation program with the following settings:
115,200
data rate,
eight
data bits, no parity bits, and
1
stop bit (no flow control).
3. Select
<Enter>
to access the CLI. At the prompt, enter the user name
adm1n
and the password
blue1socket
.
To access the PNS CLI using an SSH client, complete these steps:
1. Ensure that the BSAP is connected to a controlling computer (using the provided RJ-45 Ethernet cable).
2. Specify that the computer's TCP/IP setting is
On
or
Enabled
by navigating to
Control Panel
and selecting
Network Connections
.
3. Double-click the connection of your network interface card and select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
.
4. Select
Properties
then specify that the TCP/IP setting is enabled.
5. Set your PC to a static IP address of
192.168.190.2
with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
.
6. Access the BSAP's command line interface (CLI) using an SSH client.
7. Open an SSH connection using the unit's DHCP-assigned IP address and port
2335
connected to the
LAN1
port on the BSAP.
8. At the prompt, enter the user name
adm1n
and the password
blue1socket
.
