Establish a Wireless Network Connection (802.11)

You can create and save applications that describe the important attributes of wireless 802.11 networks throughout your organization. After you define and save these settings, you can deploy them to centrally managed DMPs individually or to any of your DMP groups.

Before You Begin

•Do your DMPs all support wireless connectivity? Some models do not. See their datasheets on Cisco.com.

•Verify that the Broadcast SSID setting is enabled on your wireless access points. Otherwise, your DMPs cannot connect to your WLAN and are prevented from obtaining IP addresses.

•Does a security policy in your network restrict DHCP address assignments to known MAC addresses? If so, locate the WLAN address printed on a sticker that is affixed to your DMP. Then, share this address with your security policy administrator.

•Verify that your wireless network is working correctly, is available, and you understand how it authenticates connection requests.

•Complete all steps in the “Establish a Wired Network Connection” section on page 13-5.
