BlueSecure™ Access Point 1840 Installation Guide
10
In DHCP requests sent from the BSAP, the BSAP uses option 60 Vendor class identifier
with a value of BlueSecure.AP1500 to identify itself to the DHCP server (Note that all
BSAPs —1500,1540, 1800, and 1840 —identify as AP1500 for option 43).
Refer to the documentation supplied with your DHCP server when configuring vendor-
specific option 43

DNS Server Configuration
BSAPs are factory configured with apdiscovery as the DNS hostname. You can configure
a DNS server on your network with an entry for apdiscovery with the home BSC
Controller IP address as the resolution.
To configure this, add a NAME record to the DNS server for apdiscovery (at the domain
server that the BAP will receive). Point this name to one or more BSC IP addresses
(managed, protected or VLAN depending on the network configuration).
So for example, if there are two BSCs (192.168.100.23 and 192.168.100.28), and the
domain is customer.com, add two NAME records to customer.com, for the name
apdiscovery.customer.com. One should resolve to 192.168.100.23 and one to
192.168.100.28. PTR (i.e., pointer) records are not needed for this portion of discovery.
