56 WSS setup methods
NN47250-500 (320657-F Version 02.01)
Overview
WSS Software provides the following quick-start methods for new (unconfigured) switches:
• Web Quick Start (2350 and 2360/2361 only)
•CLI quickstart command
You can use either quick-start method to configure a switch to provide wireless service. You also can use any
of the following management applications to configure a new switch or to continue configuration of a partially
configured switch:
• WLAN Management Software
•CLI
•Web View
Quick starts
The Web Quick Start enables you to easily configure a 2350 or 2360/2361 switch to provide wireless access to
up to 10 users. The Web Quick Start is accessible only on unconfigured 2350 and 2360/2361 switches. The
interface is not available on other switch models or on any switch that is already configured.
The quickstart command enables you to configure a switch to provide wireless access to any number of users.
WLAN Management Software
You can use WLAN Management Software to remotely configure a switch using one of the following
techniques:
• Drop ship—On model 2350 only, you can press the factory reset switch during power on until the right
LED above port 1 flashes for 3 seconds. Activating the factory reset causes the 2350 to bypass the Web
Quick Start and request its configuration from WLAN Management Software instead.
• Staged WSS—On any switch model, you can stage the switch to request its configuration from WLAN
Management Software, by preconfiguring IP parameters and enabling the auto-config option.
(These options are described in more detail in “Remote WSS configuration” (page 66).)
You also can use WLAN Management Software to plan your network, create WSSs in the plan, then deploy
the switch configurations to the real switches. For information, see the following:

• Nortel WLAN Management Software 2300 Series Reference Guide
