If you are provisioning remote APs, you must also add the remote APs to the RAP whitelist. For details, see "Remote Access Points" on page 510.

Troubleshooting

After the AP has been provisioned, navigate to Monitoring>All Access Points window and verify that the AP has an up status. The AP on your network does not appear in this table, it may have been classified as an inactive AP for any of the following reasons:

•The AP is configured with a missing or incorrect VLAN. (For example, the AP is configured to use a tunneled SSID of VLAN 2 but the controller doesn't have a VLAN 2.)

•The AP has an unknown AP group.

•The AP has a duplicate AP name.

•An AP with an external antenna is not provisioned with external antenna gain settings.

•Both radios on the AP are disabled.

•No virtual APs are defined on the AP.

•The AP has profile errors. For details, access the command-line interface and issue the command “show profile errors”.

•The GRE tunnel between the AP and the controller was blocked by a firewall after the AP became active.

•The AP is temporarily down while it is upgrading its software. The AP will become active again after upgrading.

Configuring a Provisioned AP

Once the AP has been installed and provisioned, you can use the WebUI or CLI to configure the optional AP settings described in the following sections:

•"AP Installation Modes" on page 415

•"Renaming an AP" on page 416

•"Optimize APs Over Low-Speed Links" on page 417

•"AP Redundancy" on page 421

•"AP Maintenance Mode " on page 421

•"Energy Efficient Ethernet" on page 422

•"Managing AP LEDs" on page 423

AP Installation Modes

By default, all AP models initially ship with an indoor or outdoor installation mode. This means that APs with an indoor installation mode are normally placed in enclosed, protected environments and those with an outdoor installation mode are used in outdoor environments and exposed to harsh elements.

In most countries, there are different channels and power that are allowed for indoor and outdoor operation. You may want to change an AP’s installation mode from indoor to outdoor or vice versa.

Using the WebUI

To configure the installation mode for an AP, follow these steps:

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless> AP Installation page. The list of discovered APs are displayed on this page.

2.Select the AP you want to change.

3.Click Provision to reveal the Provisioning page.
