Configuring WSSs Remotely 311
Nortel WLAN—Management Software 2300 Series Reference Guide
If the network plan contains a configuration with a matching serial number, WLAN 
Management Software deploys the configuration to the switch. (See 
If the network plan does not have a configuration with a matching serial number, one 
of the following occurs:
If the Auto-Config IP Subnet Matching is enabled and other requirements are met, 
WLAN Management Software can give the configuration to another switch with a 
different serial number, if the switch is the same model and is in the same IP subnet. 
(See 
 for more 
information.) 
If the serial number does not match and the Auto-Config IP Subnet Matching option 
is disabled, WLAN Management Software cannot give the switch a configuration. 
WLAN Management Software generates a verification warning (on the Network 
Verification tab). 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. (See 
.)
Staged WSS
1
The switch is shipped to a network administrator who configures IP address and DNS 
information on the switch, and enables the auto-config option, to configure the switch to 
contact WLAN Management Software Services in the corporate network. 
The network administrator can configure the switch to use a DCHP client to obtain IP 
information, or can statically configure the information. The IP address and default router 
(gateway) are required. 
DNS information is optional, but is recommended if DNS is available. If DNS is available, an 
entry must be added to the DNS server that maps the IP address of the host where WLAN 
Management Software Service are installed to the well-known hostname wlan-config-srv. 
Otherwise, an IP alias can be configured on the switch itself to map the address to the 
hostname.

The preconfigured switch is shipped to the remote office where it will be deployed.
3
Someone at the remote office physically installs the switch and APs.
4
The person at the remote office powers the switch on. The switch boots using the configuration 
created during staging.
5
The switch either uses its DHCP client to obtain an IP address from a local DHCP server, or 
uses a statically configured address. This depends on the switch’s preconfiguration. 
6
If the auto-config option is enabled, the switch sends a DNS query for the IP address of 
well-known hostname wlan-config-srv.
7
DNS replies with the IP address of the host where WLAN Management Software Services are 
installed. The switch sends a request to WLAN Management Software Services in the corporate 
network for a configuration. (If the auto-config option is not enabled, the switch boots using its 
configuration file. You can use the CLI, WLAN Management Software, or Web View to 
complete its configuration.)
8
WLAN Management Software receives the configuration request, and 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.
