HP Manager Software manual Set auto-config

set auto-config 47

Usage — A network administrator at the corporate office can preconfigure the switch in a 3Com Wireless Switch Manager network plan. The switch configuration must have a name for the switch, the model must be WXR100, and the serial number must match the switch’s serial number. The configuration should also include all other settings required for the deployment, including MAP configuration, SSIDs, AAA settings, and so on.

When the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager server in the corporate network receives the configuration request, the server looks in the currently open network plan for a switch configuration with the same model and serial number as the one in the configuration request.

„If the network plan contains a configuration with a matching model and serial number, the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager sends the configuration to the switch and restarts the switch. The switch boots using the configuration it received from the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager.

„If the network plan does not have a configuration with a matching model and serial number, a verification warning appears in the 3Com Wireless Switch Manager. The warning lists the switch’s serial number and IP address. The network administrator can upload the switch into the network plan, configure switch parameters, and deploy the configuration to the switch.

To use the auto-config option with a new (unconfigured) WXR100, insert a paperclip or similar object into the WXR100’s Fn hole to press the switch. The Fn switch must be held for about 3 seconds while the Fn LED (the right LED above port 1) is lit. Normally, this LED remains solidly lit for 3 seconds after power on. However, when the Fn switch is pressed, the LED flashes for 3 seconds instead.

If you want another WX switch model to be able to access a 3Com Wireless Switch Manager server for a configuration, you also must preconfigure the WX with the following information:

„IP address

„Gateway address

„Domain name and DNS server address
