5. Assigning the Satellite Wireless APs’ radios to the network VNSs.

6. Connecting the WDS Wireless APs to the enterprise network via the Ethernet link for

provisioning. For more information, see “Provisioning the WDS Wireless APs” on page 11-11.

7. Disconnecting the WDS Wireless APs from the enterprise network and moving them to the

target location.

Note:

During the WDS deployment process, the WDS Wireless APs are connected to the enterprise network on two

occasions — first to enable them to discover and register with the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller, and then

the second time to enable them to obtain the provisioning from the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.

Connecting the WDS Wireless APs to the Enterprise Network for

Discovery and Registration

Connect each WDS Wireless AP to the enterprise network to enable it to discover and register

itself with the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller.

Note:

Before you connect the WDS Wireless APs to the enterprise network for discovery and registration, you must

ensure that the Security mode property of the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller is defined according to your

security needs. The Security mode property dictates how the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller behaves when

registering new and unknown devices. For more information, see “Defining Properties for the Discovery

Process” on page 3-16.

If the Security mode is set to Allow only approved Wireless APs to connect (this is also known as secure

mode), you must manually approve the WDS Wireless APs after they are connected to the network for the

discovery and registration. For more information, see “Adding and Registering a Wireless AP Manually” on

page 3-18.

Depending upon the number of Ethernet ports available, you may connect one or more WDS

Wireless APs at a time, or you may connect all of them together.

Once a WDS Wireless AP has discovered and registered itself with the SCALANCE IWLAN

Controller, disconnect it from the enterprise network.

Configuring the WDS Wireless APs Through the SCALANCE IWLAN

Controller

Configuring the WDS Wireless APs involves the following steps:

1. Creating a WDS WLAN Service.

2. Defining the SSID name and the pre-shared key.

3. Assigning roles, parents and backup parents to the WDS Wireless APs.

For ease of understanding, the WDS configuration process is explained with an example.

Figure 11-10 depicts a site with the following features:

• An office building, denoted by a rectangular enclosure.

• Four Wireless APs — Ardal, Arthur, Athens and Auberon — are within the confines of the

building, and are connected to the wired network.

• The space around the building is the warehouse.

• The solid arrows point toward Preferred Parents.
