Step 2: Configuring the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point Before Installation
The following procedures are designed to make sure that your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point
physical installation goes smoothly and that initial operation is as expected. If you are unable to
prepare your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point for deployment, this Step also describes RMA
(Return Material Authorization) procedures.
Note:
Perform either of the following two procedures on each Nortel Networks WLAN - Access
Point or Remote Edge Access Point BEFORE deploying the Nortel Networks WLAN - Access
Point or Remote Edge Access Point in its final location.
•
Preparing a Version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point
for installation in a Version 2.0
Nortel Networks 2200 series
•
Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point
or
Alternate Preparing a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access
Point
for installation in a Version 2.0 Nortel Networks 2200 series
If you are unable to perform either of previous procedures, refer to the RMA Procedures section in the
Nortel Networks Product Documentation.

Preparing a Version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point
If your Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point has Operating System 1.2 or an earlier version loaded on
it, or if you do not know what version the AP has loaded on it, use this procedure. If your AP is a
Remote Edge Access Point or has Operating System 2.0 or later loaded on it, use the
Preparing a
Version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point or Remote Edge Access Point
procedure below.
Note:
This procedure assumes that you are preparing a version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN -
Access Point to interoperate with a version 2.0 Nortel Networks WLAN - Wireless Security
Switch. When you are preparing a version 1.2 Nortel Networks WLAN - Access Point to inter-
operate 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.
