2.Make sure that the controller is not connected to any device on your network.

3.Boot up the controller.

4.Connect your PC or workstation to a line port on the controller.

5.On your PC or workstation, open a Web browser and connect to https://172.16.0.254.

6.The controller contains a default server certificate to validate the device on the network. At the Security Alert, click Yes to proceed with the Setup Wizard.

NOTE: The default certificate installed in the controller does not guarantee security in production networks. Dell strongly recommends that you replace the default certificate with a custom certificate issued for your site or domain by a trusted Certificate Authority. See the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 User Guide for more information about certificates.

7.The initial window of the Mobility Controller Setup Wizard asks you to select one of the following deployment modes. Select Standalone, Master, Local or Remote Node, then click Continue. If you are configuring a Remote Node controller, refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.2 User Guide for details on using the Remote Node Configuration Wizard.

Standalone: This is the only controller on the network.

Master: This controller will manage other controllers on the network.

Local: This controller will be managed by a master controller.

Remote Node: This controller will act as a remote node and get its local and global configuration and license limits from a master controller called a remote node controller (RNC).

8.If you selected Standalone or Master in the step above, you will be prompted to select the Campus WLAN or Remote Access Points deployment mode. The Remote Access Points deployment mode allows you to configure additional settings specific to remote APs.

9.Enter the information described in Table 1, and, if desired, the optional configuration information described in “Optional Information” on page 3.
