Configure WLAN controller

Go to Wireless LAN Controller -> Controller Configuration -> General.

The Region must be set up to match the location of the access points, e. g. Germany . The result of this setting is that the access points' WLAN wireless module will only run inside the legally permitted framework of the country concerned.

As the WLAN controller's Interface, select LAN_EN1-0 .

The DHCP Server setting must be left at External or static because the DHCP server has already been set up on the branch office routers.

The Slave AP location must be changed to Remote (WAN) . The result of this is that managed slave access points continue to run autonomously if the network falls over (so that, at least, the local WLAN at the location affected goes on working) and are only reinitialized after reconnecting to the WLAN controller. Likewise, this switch is also used to adapt slave access points' and WLAN controllers' mutual waiting times to typical WAN characteristics (e. g. short network interruptions due to forced DSL separation).

Confirm with OK.

The settings are now enabled and the WLAN controller is started.
