Altitude AP static configuration: branch office deployment

The Altitude AP static configuration feature provides Summit WM-Series Switch Software capability for

a network with the central office / branch office model. In this scenario, Altitude APs are installed in

remote sites, while the Summit WM-Series Switch is in the central office. The Altitude APs require the

capability to interact in both the local site network and the central network. To achieve this, a static

configuration is used.

NOTE

In static configuration, if the Altitude AP cannot register with the Summit WM-Series Switch within the specified

number of retries), the Altitude AP will use SLP, DNS and SLP multicast as a backup mechanism (as described in

the discovery process). If unsuccessful, the Altitude AP resumes the discovery process with the static configuration,

followed with SLP, DNS and SLP multicast.

Once the static configuration is set up, then all traffic is bridged locally on the wired Ethernet segment

that the Altitude AP is connected to, without going through a Summit WM-Series Switch.

Set up a Altitude AP with static configuration

1 Select the Altitude AP tab in any screen. In the Altitude AP Properties screen, click on the Static

Configuration tab. The Static Configuration screen appears.

2 Select one of the two methods of IP address assignment for the Altitude AP:

● to enable DHCP, click the radio button on (default), or

● to specify the IP address of the Altitude AP, click the Static Values radio button on and fill in the

IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.

NOTE

For first-time deployment of the Altitude AP for a Branch Office scenario, it is recommended that you use DHCP

initially on the central office network to obtain an IP address for the Altitude AP. Then enter these values in the

Static Configuration screen for this Altitude AP and save the configuration.
