Chapter 6 Tutorial

In this example, the 1st floor NWA managed AP uses radio06 for its WLAN1 Radio Profile.

The WLAN2 radio is disabled. Refer to Section 5.7.1 on page 62 for instructions on how to set up WLAN radio profiles in the NWA controller APs.

6.5.7 Checking your Settings and Testing the Configuration

The NWAs should be working at this point. You can configure the settings of each NWA unit by just opening the Web Configurator of the primary controller AP.

One way to test if the setup is working is to use a wireless client to check if all the profiles you have set up in the managed APs and the controller APs are available for wireless connection.

For this example, we use the G-302 v3 wireless client utility screen to check if radio6 (SSID: Mktg Grp 6) is in the list of wireless networks available.

Figure 71 Tutorial: Checking your Setup (MGNT Mode Settings)

Open the wireless client’s screen that list the available networks within range. In the image above, we can see Mktg Grp 6 which is the SSID in the WLAN1 radio profile enabled for the 1st floor NWA managed AP.

Do the same for the other WLAN radio profiles of the remaining NWA APs (both controller and managed APs) and check if all the security configurations and device settings are in place. Do the proper modifications in the primary controller AP’s Web Configurator if necessary.

Note: Be sure you update the primary controller AP and not the secondary controller AP when setting the congfiguration for the managed APs. If you accidentally set up the secondary controller AP instead, the changes you made will not take effect. They are overridden by the configurations of the primary controller AP.
