Summit WM, Getting Started Guide

    

   

  

You must exercise caution while configuring VLAN ID tag. If a VLAN tag is not 
configured properly, the connectivity between the Summit WM Switch and the 
Altitude AP will be lost.

Note: To configure the VLAN tag for Altitude AP, you must connect the Altitude AP to 
a point on the central office network that does not require VLAN tagging. If the VLAN 
tagging is configured correctly and you are still on the central office network, the 
Altitude AP will lose connection with the Summit WM Switch after it is rebooted (the 
Altitude AP reboots when the configuration settings are saved). If the Altitude AP does 
not lose connection with the Summit WM Switch after the reboot, it indicates that the 
VLAN ID has not been configured correctly. This provides a feedback on whether you 
have configured the VLAN tag correctly. After the VLAN is configured correctly, you 
can move the Altitude AP to the target location.

To configure Altitude APs with a VLAN tag:

1. Connect the Altitude AP in the central office to the Summit WM Switch port 

(or to a network point) that does not require VLAN tagging.

2. In the VLAN Settings section, select Tagged - VLAN ID.

3. In the Tagged - VLAN ID text box, type the VLAN ID on which the Altitude AP 

will operate. 

4. To save your changes, click Save. The Altitude AP reboots and loses 

connection with the Summit WM Switch.

5. Log out from the Summit WM Switch.

6. Disconnect the Altitude AP from the central office network and move it to the 

target location. 

7. Power the Altitude AP. The Altitude AP connects to the Summit WM Switch.

If the Altitude AP does not connect to the Summit WM Switch, it implies that 
the Altitude AP was not configured properly. To recover from this situation, 
you must reset the Altitude AP to its factory default settings, and reconfigure 
the static IP address. For more information, see
