Configuring the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller
SCALANCE WLC711

– Configure the time zone. Because changing the time zone requires restarting the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, Siemens recommends that you configure the time zone
during the initial installation and configuration of the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller to
avoid network interruptions. For more information, see “Configuring Network Time” on
page 2-49.
– Apply an activation key file. If an activation key is not applied, the SCALANCE IWLAN
Controller functions with some features enabled in demonstration mode. Not all features
are enabled in demonstration mode. For example, mobility is not enabled and cannot be
used.
5. Configure the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller for remote access:
– Set up an administration station (laptop) on subnet 192.168.10.0/24. By default, the
SCALANCE IWLAN Controller's Management interface is configured with the static IP
address 192.168.10.1.
– Configure the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller’s management interface.
– Configure the data interfaces.
– Set up the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller on the network by configuring the physical
data ports.
– Configure the routing table.
– Configure static routes or OSPF parameters, if appropriate to the network.
For more information, see “Configuring the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller for the First
Time” on page 2-12.
6. Configure the traffic topologies your network must support. Topologies represent the
Controller’s points of network attachment, and therefore VLANs and port assignments need
to be coordinated with the corresponding network switch ports. For more information, see
“Configuring a Basic Data Port Topology” on page 4-4.
7. Configure policies. Policies are typically bound to topologies. Policy application assigns user
traffic to the corresponding network point.
– Policies define user access rights (filtering or ACL)
– Polices reference user's rate control profile.
For more information, see “Configuring Policies” on page 5-1.
8. Configure WLAN services.
– Define SSID and privacy settings for the wireless link.
– Select the set of APs/Radios on which the service is present.
– Configure the method of credential authentication for wireless users (None, Internal CP,
External CP, GuestPortal, 802.1x[EAP])
For more information, see “Configuring WLAN Services” on page 6-1.
9. Create the VNSs.
NOTICE
Whenever the licensed region changes on the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, all Wireless APs are changed
to Auto Channel Select to prevent possible infractions to local RF regulatory requirements. If this occurs, all
manually configured radio channel settings will be lost.
