Step 7 In the System Name field, enter the system name, which is the name that you want to assign to the controller. You can enter up to 32 ASCII characters.
Step 8 In the User Name and Password fields, enter the administrative username and password for this controller. You can enter up to 24 ASCII characters for each. The default administrative username and password are both admin.
Step 9 Click Next. The Service Interface Configuration page appears.
Step 10 If you want the controller service-port interface to get an IP address from a DHCP server, check the DHCP Protocol Enabled check box. If you do not want to use the service port or if you want to assign a static IP address to the service-port interface, leave the check box unchecked.
The service-port interface controls communications through the service port, which is reserved for out-of-band management of the controller and for system recovery and maintenance in the event of a network failure. Its IP address must be on a different subnet from the management and AP-manager interfaces. You can use this configuration to manage the controller directly or through a dedicated management network to ensure service access during network downtime.
Step 11 If you did not check the DHCP Protocol Enabled check box in Step 10, leave the IP address and the netmask for the service-port interface as they are, or change them as necessary. If you do not want to use the service port, enter 0.0.0.0 for both the IP address and the netmask.
