WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Software Administration Manual
2-8 Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System
v1.0, June 2007
• Master (if this will be the only switch on the network)
• Local (if this will be managed by a master switch)
• Country code. The two-letter code for the country in which the switch will operate from
the drop-down menu.
This determines the 802.11 wireless transmission spectrum. You are responsible for
assigning the correct country code and for changing it if the switch is moved to another
country. Improper country code assignment can disrupt wireless transmissions. Most
countries impose penalties and sanctions for operators of wireless networks with devices
set to improper country codes.
• Master switch IP (if the switch is local). The IP address of this switch’s master switch.
• Admin user password. For logging into the switch (up to 32 characters).
You must enter this password in order to further configure the switch; there is no factory
provided password.
• Date and time. Time, date, and time zone. (If you are going to use an NTP server, the
switch will pick up the date and time from this server later.)
3. Click Save and Reboot.
The switch will reboot, using the new configuration. (This can take up to 2 minutes). After
reboot you will probably not have network connectivity on your PC. Reconfigure your PC to
match the settings you just configured for the switch and then proceed to the access point
configuration.
Configure the Switch for the Access Points
1. Connect the WFS709TP Smart Wireless Switch to your PC using an Ethernet cable to one of
the Fast Ethernet Ports.
2. In the web browser of your PC:
a. Enter the IP address of your master switch. See step 2 of “Run the Initial Setup” on
page 2-6.
b. Log in using the admin user account and password (Figure 2-5). See step 2 of “Run the
Initial Setup” on page 2-6.
Note: Later, if needed, you can reconfigure the PC you used in step 1 back to its
original TCP/IP settings.
