These installation instructions provide a general outline to 
quickly install and configure the Summit

® 

WM20 Controller. For 

more information, see the documentation CD. 

Lift the controller, in its protective foam casing, straight up 
and out of the carton.

Lay the controller on a flat surface and slide off the foam 
casing.

Confirm that your carton contains the following contents.

●

One controller

●

Two mounting brackets

●

Six M3x6 lens head machine screws

●

Four self-adhesive rubber feet

●

One crossover RJ45 Ethernet cable (for installation)

●

A printed copy of the installation instructions

●

A documentation CD that includes the Summit WM Getting 
Started Guide and the Summit WM User Guide.

Attach the mounting brackets to the Summit WM Controller 
by inserting the bracket tabs into the tab slots on the 
controller, and then tightening the screws. 

Attach the brackets to the rack.

Glue the four rubber feet to the stamped positions on the 
bottom of the controller.

Place the Summit WM Controller on the table.
Ensure at least 6 cm of clearance on all sides of the controller 
for proper ventilation.

●

Connect the power cord to the controller. 

●

Use the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands or the 
Summit WM Graphical User Interface (GUI). This operation 
halts the operation of the controller software. 

●

To completely power off the controller, move the main power 
switch to ‘Off’ position. 

This step is optional. You can retain the default IP address of the 
controller Management port if you do not intend to connect the 
controller to your enterprise network. 

Before you connect the controller to the enterprise network, 
change the IP address of the controller Management port from its 
factory default to the IP address suitable for the enterprise 
network. To access the controller, use a laptop computer with a 
browser. Connect the crossover Ethernet cable between the laptop 
and Management Ethernet port of the controller. Follow the steps 
below.

Statically assign an unused IP address in the 192.168.10.0/24 
subnet for the Ethernet port of the laptop. 

Launch your Web browser, and in the browser address bar, 
type 

https://192.168.10.1:5825

. 

This launches the Summit 

WM GUI. The logon screen appears.

In the User Name box, type 

admin

, and in the Password box, 

type 

abc123

.

Click Login.

From the main menu, click WM-AD Configuration.

In the left pane, click IP Addresses. 

In the Management Port Settings section, click Modify.

Type the following information:

●

 – The name of the controller

●

 – The IP domain name of the enterprise network

●

 – The new IP address for the 

controller’s Management port. Change this as appropriate 
for the enterprise network.

●

 – The appropriate subnet mask for the IP 

address to separate the network portion from the host 
portion of the address (typically 255.255.255.0)

●

 – The default gateway of the 

network

●

 – The primary DNS server used by the 

network

●

 – The secondary DNS server used by the 

network

To save your changes and disconnect the Web connection 
between the laptop and the controller, click Ok. 
The IP addresses are now set to the network you defined. 

Disconnect your laptop from the controller Management port.

Connect the controller Management port (Management port) 
to the enterprise Ethernet LAN. 

Login on the Summit WM GUI. The system is visible to the 
enterprise network.

These eight steps provide a general outline on how to configure 
the controller. For detailed information, see the documentation 
CD.

Research the type of WLAN deployment that is required. For 
example, SSIDs, security requirements, and filter policies.

Ensure that the external servers, such as DHCP servers and 
RADIUS servers (if applicable) are available and appropriately 
configured.

●

To manage the controller through the interface, enable Allow 
management

.

●

Configure the default IP address to be the relevant subnet 
point of attachment to the existing network, and setup the 
routing protocol and table. The default IP address is 10.0.#.1. 

●

To configure a physical port to attach to a VLAN, define the 
VLAN as part of the IP address assignment. 

Login on the Summit WM GUI and select the country and time 
zone, and then restart the controller.

LAN  Ports / Physical Ports 

Install the license and confirm the latest firmware version is 
loaded.

Research and configure the traffic topologies the network will 
support.

●

Confirm the latest firmware version is loaded. 

●

Deploy APs to their corresponding network locations. If 
applicable, configure a default AP template for common radio 
and WM-AD assignment.

●

For information on installing and powering the wireless APs, 
see the Altitude AP Installation Instructions.

●

Only authorized Extreme Networks

®

 service personnel are 

permitted to service the system.

●

Ensure that your system is grounded via the IEC320 
connector according to your country’s electrical grounding 
code requirements.

●

Use only original accessories or components approved for the 
system. Failure to observe these instructions may damage the 
equipment or even violate safety and EMC regulations.

●

This device must not be connected to a LAN segment with 
outdoor wiring.

●

Do not power off the controller using the power button. 
Instead, use the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands, or 
the Summit WM GUI. Failure to do so may corrupt the data 
in the hard disk drive.

●

The controller is capable of adjusting to voltages from 110 to 
240 volts. Do not operate the controller if the power supply is 
beyond this range.
