Activating the Managed Access Points 21

To prepare your wireless network follow these steps:

1 Connect the DHCP server to a port on the Unified Switch 24.

Make sure that the DHCP server is on the same IP subnet and is using the 
same subnet mask as IP configuration of the switch.

2 Connect the wireless access points to the switch only after you have 

connected the DHCP server and it is fully operational.

To prepare the access points, see “Preparing the Managed Access Points” 
on page 23.

Managed access points must be either directly connected to the switch or 
connected using a Layer 2 network to the same subnet as the switch. The 
switch and the managed access points must be on the same Layer 2 
subnet in order for them to communicate.

To Discover and Activate the managed access points follow these steps:

1 Ensure the access points are converted to managed access points. (Refer 

to “Preparing the Managed Access Points” on page 23.)

2 Ensure the access points are connected to the switch.

3 Log in to the Web interface of the switch.

4 Select Device Summary, then click the Wireless tab.

5 In a short time you should see a list of “Discovered Access Points”.

6 Press the Activate button for each access point that you want to be 

controlled by your switch. The switch will take several minutes to activate 
the access points.

7 When the state has changed to Activated, the wireless network is ready 

for use. You can access the wireless network using the SSID and security 
parameters you configured in the setup wizard.
