3 Basic configuration
The basic configuration is conducted with a convenient Setup Wizard that
provides step-by-step guidance through the configuration and that requests
any necessary information.
Unconfigured LANCOM Access Points with standard factory settings
cannot be commissioned by means of the WLAN interface.
First of all this chapter presents the information that has to be entered for the
basic configuration. This first section will help you to gather up all of the
necessary data before you start the Wizard.
You subsequently enter this information into the Setup Wizard. Starting the
program and the following procedure are described step by step. LANconfig
and WEBconfig each have their own description. With all of the necessary
information collected in advance, this basic configuration can now take place
quickly and in ease.
At the end of this chapter we show you the necessary settings for the work-
place computers in the LAN so that they can access the device without pro-
blem.
For LANCOM Access Points that are unconfigured and in their factory settings,
the WLAN modules are switched off and set to the "Managed" operating
mode. The WLAN modules search the LAN for a LANCOM WLAN Controller
from which they can receive their WLAN-interface configuration profiles.
Once executed, the Basic Settings Wizard automatically resets the
WLAN-module operating mode to "Access Point". The WLAN interface then
has to be configured manually.
Only activate the Basic Settings Wizard if the Access Point is not to be
configured from a WLAN-Controller. Subsequently execute the WLAN
Wizard
→
WLAN Configuration.
