Initial Setup on a Serial Port

You can launch the setup wizard using any PC or workstation that can run a supported Web browser.

The PC or workstation must either be configured to obtain its IP address usingDHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to an IP-enabled device from a defined range of numbers configured for a given network., or configured to have a static IP address on the 172.16.0.254/24 sub-network. The default IP address of themanaged deviceis 172.16.0.254/24. Connect a PC or workstation to any line port on themanaged device, then enter this IP address into a supported Web browser to launch the Setup Wizard.

To run the Setup Wizard:

1.Connect your PC or workstation to a line port on themanaged device

2.Make sure that themanaged deviceis not connected to any device on your network.

3.Boot up themanaged device

4.On your PC or workstation, open a Web browser and connect to https://172.16.0.254/24.

5.The initial window of theMobility Controller SetupWizard asks you to select one of the following deployment modes. SelectStandaloneorManagedthen clickContinue

StandaloneController: This is the onlycontrolleron the network.

Managed Controller: Thismanaged devicewill be managed by aMobility Master

Initial Setup on a Serial Port Connection

The serial port is located on the front panel (back panel in case of7024and7008controllers) of themanaged device。You can start the Initial Setup dialog when you connect a terminal, PC or workstation running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on themanaged device

The serial port connection only allows you to configure the basic configuration required to connect themanaged deviceto the network. The recommended browser-based configuration Wizard allows you to also install software licenses and configure internal and guestWLANsWireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a 802.11 standards-based LAN that the users access through a wireless connection.。If you use the Initial Setup dialog to configure themanaged device, the browser-based Setup Wizard will not be available unless you reset themanaged deviceto its factory default configuration.

To run the Initial full setup dialog from a serial connection:

1.Configure your terminal or terminal emulation program to use the following communication settings:

Table 1:Terminal Communication Settings

2.Connect your terminal or PC/workstation to the serial port on themanaged devicesusing an RS-232 serial cable. RJ-45 cable and DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter is required. You may need aUSBUniversal Serial Bus. USB is a connection standard that offers a common interface for communication between the external devices and a computer. USB is the most common port used in the client devices.adapter to connect the serial cable to your PC.

3.Boot up themanaged device。After themanaged devicehas booted up, you should see a screen similar to the following setup dialog formanaged devices:

Auto-provisioning is in progress. Choose one of the following options to override or debug...

'enable-debug' : Enable auto-provisioning debug logs

'disable-debug': Disable auto-provisioning debug logs

'mini-setup' : Stop auto-provisioning and start mini setup dialog for smart-branch role

'full-setup' : Stop auto-provisioning and start full setup dialog for any role

Enter Option (partial string is acceptable):f

Are you sure that you want to stop auto-provisioning and start full setup dialog? (yes/no): y
