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” on page 71.)
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 User Guide
• Nortel WLAN Management Software 2300 Series Reference Guide
