Install the Controller

The WebUI Startup Wizard allows you to configure access to the controller, install software licenses, and configure wireless local area networks (WLANs) for internal or guest users. The Startup Wizard is available the first time you connect to and log into the controller or whenever the controller is reset to its factory default configuration. The serial console setup dialog allows you to configure basic controller settings through a serial port connection to the controller. After you complete the Startup Wizard or serial console setup procedure, the controller reboots using the new configuration information you entered.

Do not connect the controller to your network when running the Setup Wizard or serial console setup dialog. The factory-default controller boots up with a default IP address and both DHCP server and spanning tree functions enabled. Once you have completed setup and rebooted the controller, you can use the controller CLI or WebUI to complete its configuration before connecting the controller to your network.
