Once the D-Link WLAN Controller Switch is connected to the network, you can use the IP address for remote access to the switch by using a Web browser or through Telnet or SSH.

Enabling the WLAN Features on the Switch

In order for the WCS to be able to discover and manage access points, the WLAN switch and its operational status must both be enabled. However, before you enable the WLAN switch, set the correct country code for the switch so that the access points can only operate in the modes permitted in your country. The default country code is US for operation in the United States.

To set the country code and enable the switch by using the Web interface, click Administration > Basic Setup. Table 3 describes the fields on the Wireless Global Configuration page.

NOTE:Wireless features are available under the WLAN tab on the navigation menu.

NOTE:Most configuration pages have a Submit button, which applies the changes to the running configuration but does not save them to non-volatile memory (NVRAM). To make the changes permanent so they persist across a reboot, click the Tool, then click Save Changes to navigate to the appropriate page. You can also use the write command in Privileged Exec mode.
