Configuring APs 201

Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide

•

Configure SSID and encryption settings in a service profile.

•

Map the service profile to a radio profile, assign the radio profile to radios, and enable the radios.

Before you can configure APs and radio parameters, you must specify the country in which you plan to operate the 
radios. Since each country has different regulatory environments, the country code determines the transmit power levels 
and channels you can configure on the radios. WSS Software ensures that the values you can configure are valid for the 
country you specify.

You must specify the country in which you plan to operate the WSS and its APs. WSS Software does not allow you to 
configure or enable the AP radios until you specify the country of operation

The country code determines the valid radio types as well as channel numbers and power settings for AP radios. The 
country code is one of the parameters you set when you create a network plan. Be sure to select the country code for the 
country in which the AP will be operated. It is a violation of regulatory laws to set the country code to a country that is 
different than the actual country in which the AP is operating.

For a complete listing of the approved two-letter country codes, refer to the "Approved Countries for the WLAN 2300 
Series Components" at

To configure the WSS to support an AP, you must first determine how the AP will connect to the switch. There are two 
types of AP to WSS connection: direct and distributed.

•

In direct connection, an AP connects to one or two 10/100 ports on a WSS. The WSS port is then configured 
specifically for a direct attachment to an AP. There is no intermediate networking equipment between the WSS and 
AP and only one AP is connected to the WSS port. The WSS 10/100 port provides PoE to the AP. The WSS also 
forwards data only to and from the configured AP on that port. The port numbers on the WSS configured for 
directly attached APs reference a particular AP. 

•

An AP that is not directly connected to a WSS is considered a Distributed AP. There may be intermediate Layer 2 
switches or Layer 3 IP routers between the WSS and AP. The WSS may communicate to the Distributed AP 

Intentional radiators, such as the Nortel WLAN 2330/2330A/2330B and Series 2332 

access points, are not intended to be operated with any antenna(s) other than those furnished by 
Nortel. An intentional radiator may only be operated with the antenna(s) with which it is authorized.

The 2332 access point has been region-locked to meet geographic regulatory restrictions. 

Each model is associated to a specific regulatory domain and subsequent country of operation. 
During installation, the access point model and wireless security switch regulatory domain must 
match or the access point will not operate.
