Setting Up the Wireless AP Using Static Configuration
The Wireless AP static configuration feature provides the SCALANCE WLC711 solution with the
capability for a network with either a central office or a branch office model. The static
configuration settings assist in the setup of branch office support. These settings are not
dependent of branch topology, but instead can be employed at any time if required. In the branch
office model, Wireless APs are installed in remote sites, while the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
is in a central office. The Wireless APs must be able to interact in both the local site network and
the central network. To achieve this model, a static configuration is used.
Note:
If a Wireless AP with a statically configured IP address (without a statically configured Wireless Controller
Search List) cannot register with the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller within the specified number of retries, the
Wireless AP will use SLP, DNS, and SLP multicast as a backup mechanism.
To Set Up a Wireless AP Using Static Configuration:
1. From the top menu, click Wireless APs. The Wireless AP screen is displayed.
2. Click the appropriate Wireless AP in the list.
3. Click the Static Configuration tab. The Static Configuration page displays.
