Registration after discovery
Any of the discovery steps 2 through 5 can inform the Altitude AP of a list of multiple IP addresses to
which the Altitude AP may attempt to connect. Once the Altitude AP has “discovered” these addresses,
it sends out connection requests to all of them simultaneously. It will attempt to register only with the
first which responds to its request.
When the Altitude AP obtains the IP address of the Summit WM-Series Switch, it connects and
registers, sending its serial number identifier to the Summit WM-Series Switch, and receiving from the
Summit WM-Series Switch a port IP address and binding key.
Once a Altitude AP is registered with a Summit WM-Series Switch:
● it appears in the Altitude AP Access Approval screen. You can check its status in this screen. If the
registration mode was “Approved only” then the status will be “Pending”. You must modify it to
“Approved”.
● it appears in the side list in the Altitude AP Configuration: Properties screen, where you can modify the
properties and radio parameters.
● its two radios appear as available choices in the WM Access Domain Configuration: Topology screen,
when you are setting up a WM-AD (up to four WM-ADs for each radio).
Before a registered Altitude AP can handle wireless traffic, you must set up a WM-AD definition and
assign the Altitude AP's radios to a WM-AD. See Chapter 6.
Discovery and registration: Altitude AP LED sequence
As the Altitude AP is powered on and boots up, you can follow its progress through the registration
process by observing the LED sequence described below.
The Status LED (center) also indicates power: dark when unit is off and green (solid) when the AP has
completed discovery and is operational.
The Altitude AP boot sequence is described below:
1 When powered on, the Altitude AP status LED turns from dark to green briefly.
Status LED: green (solid) then to dark before beginning boot sequence.
2 The Altitude AP performs a self-test.
Status LED: red (solid) if POST failed.
3 The “Discovery” mode: the Altitude AP sends a request to the DHCP server on the enterprise
network for the location of the Summit WM-Series Switch (as described above.)
Status LED: orange (solid) while searching (“Discovery”)
Status LED: red-orange (alternate blink) if DHCP server not found on network
Status LED: green-orange (alternate blink) if SLP issues in failed discovery.
