(switch-prompt) (Config-wireless)#enable

Preparing the Access Points

Depending on your network security requirements, you might need to connect to the access point CLI and configure some settings before you connect it to the network. By default, the AP uses untagged VLANs and no security. If your network requires IEEE 802.1x authentication, you must configure the supplicant information in the AP before you connect to the network. Also, if you configure the D-Link WLAN Controller Switch to require local AP authentication, you must connect to the access point CLI and configure a pass phrase. To prevent wireless clients from having access to the AP management interface, you can create a management VLAN.

NOTE:The commands you enter on the AP apply 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, use the save- running command.

Logging on to the AP

You can access the AP CLI only through Telnet. The default IP address is 10.90.90.91/8, and DHCP is enabled by default on the D-Link Access Point. When you connect the AP to a network with a DHCP server, the AP automatically acquires an IP address. If there is no DHCP server on the network, the AP retains its default IP address of 10.90.90.91/8 until you assign a static IP address.

For initial configuration with a direct Ethernet connection, make sure your PC has an IP address in the 10.0.0.0/8 subnet so you can access the AP CLI.
