Connect Power

WARNING: DO NOT place equipment in tight spaces or in drawers. Be sure

that your equipment is surrounded by at least 5 cm (2 inches) of air space.

Before deploying the wireless controller, we recommend that you set up

and test the device.

1. Plug the wireless controller into a power outlet.

2. Check the LEDs on the wireless controller.

The following table describes the behavior of the wireless controller LEDs.

Wireless Controller LEDs

LED Description

ID The number of connected access points.

Power • Green. Power is supplied.

• O. The switch is not receiving power.

If the Power LED is o, check the connections and see if the

power outlet is controlled by a wall switch that is turned o.

Status • Green. Normal operation.

• Yellow. Booting.

• Blinking yellow. Firmware update in progress.

Fan • Green. All fans are operating normally.

• Yellow. One or more fans failed.

• O. No fan is detected.

Stack Master • Green. The controller is acting as master in a stack.

• O. The controller is operating as standalone or a slave in a

stack (WC7600 only feature).

Ethernet port

(le and right)

• Green (le). The port is linked in gigabit mode (WC7600).

• Blinking green (le). Activity is detected.

• O (le). The port is not linked in gigabit mode (WC7600).

• Yellow (right). The port is linked in 10/100 megabit mode.

• Blinking yellow (right). Activity is detected.

• O (right). The port is not linked in 10/100 megabit mode.

Conﬁgure the Wireless Controller

1. Record your computer’s TCP/IP conﬁguration settings, and then

conﬁgure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210

and with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

Note: If you are unsure how to do this, visit support.netgear.com and

search for Static IP address on computer.

2. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port

on your computer and the other end to the Ethernet port on the front

panel of the wireless controller.

Note: All four Ethernet ports provide equal performance and are

bonded together to form Linux active-backup mode.

3. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.250.

4. Enter the password.

The default password is password.

Note: The ﬁrst time you log in, you must change the password.

You cannot change the admin user name, but you can create a new

administrative account with a customized user name.

5. Click the Login button.

6. To set up the wireless controller name and select the country in which

the wireless controller is used, select Conﬁguration > System >

General.

7. To choose the time zone and optionally conﬁgure NTP settings, select

Conﬁguration > System > Time.

8. To conﬁgure the wireless controller IP settings, select Conﬁguration

> System > IP/VLAN.

When you click the Apply button to save your settings, your

connection to the wireless controller is terminated because you

changed its IP address.

9. Reconﬁgure your computer with an IP address and subnet mask that

are in the same IP subnet as the wireless controller. Use the new IP

address of the wireless controller to log in again.

10. Select Conﬁguration > System > DHCP Server and specify the

DHCP server settings.

The Discovery Wizard (see Discover Access Points on page 8)

requires a DHCP server to discover the access points.

If your network already includes a DHCP server, disable the DHCP

server on the wireless controller. Otherwise, conﬁgure the DHCP

settings for the DHCP server on the wireless controller.

11. To conﬁgure the WLAN settings, select Conﬁguration > Proﬁle.

Basic settings are suitable for a small WLAN. Advanced settings are

suitable for a large WLAN with proﬁle groups.

For information about wireless controller conﬁguration, including proﬁle

groups, see the reference manual.

Deploy the Wireless Controller

1. Disconnect the power cord from the wireless controller.

2. Disconnect the wireless controller from the computer and place it

where you intend to deploy it.

3. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on a router or

switch in your network and the other end to the Ethernet port on the

front panel of the wireless controller.

4. Reconnect the power cord from the wireless controller to an AC

power outlet.

The LEDs light as described in Wireless Controller LEDs on page 4.

Discover Access Points

The Discovery Wizard can discover access points over a Layer 2 or Layer 3

network. The following general guidelines apply to the discovery process

(for speciﬁc Layer 3 guidelines, see the reference manual):

• The wireless controller can discover access points that are still in their

factory default state and access points that are already deployed in a

standalone conﬁguration.

Both access points in the factory default state and deployed

standalone access points run standalone ﬁrmware.

• Access points in the factory default state that are in the same Layer 2

network and are assigned the same IP address can be discovered.

In the factory default state, AP dynamic IP conﬁguration is disabled

by default. Aer discovering an access point, you can either enable

it from the wireless controller or leave it in its default state. If you

enable dynamic IP conﬁguration on the access points, ﬁrmware

upgrades on access points occur in parallel. Otherwise, ﬁrmware

upgrades on access points happens sequentially, which takes longer.

• Specifying an internal DHCP server on the wireless controller

automatically enables DHCP option 43 (vendor-speciﬁc information)

with the IP address of the wireless controller.

When an external DHCP server is used, Option 43 is not required if

the access points are in the same Layer 2 network as the wireless

controller. If the access points are not in the same L2 network, then

Option 43 with the wireless controller IP must be conﬁgured on the

external server.

¾To discover access points and add them to the Managed

AP List:

1. Access the wireless controller at the network IP address that you

conﬁgured (see Conﬁgure the Wireless Controller on page 5).

2. Select Access Point > Discovery > Discovery Wizard.

3. Follow the steps onscreen to discover the access points and review

the discovery results.

4. Select Access Point > Discovery > Managed AP List. Add the

access points that you want to be managed by the wireless controller

to the Managed AP List.

While the access points are being converted from standalone mode to

managed mode, the following occurs:

• The wireless controller pushes management ﬁrmware onto the

access points.

• The access points become DHCP clients and receive an IP address

from either the DHCP server in your network or the DHCP server

on the wireless controller.

• The proﬁles that you have conﬁgured on the wireless controller

are pushed onto the access points.

Note: For extensive information about the Discovery Wizard and the

discovery process, see the reference manual.
