WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 configuration
— DHCP option 151
— DNS lookup of “SLNKSVP2” if the DHCP options 6 (DNS Server) and 15 (Domain
Name) are configured.
•
Server 1 IP – the published IP address of the BCM. If the wireless handset is using static IP
address configuration, enter the published IP address of the BCM. If the WLAN handset is
using DHCP, the DHCP Server must be configured to provide the published IP address (and
UDP port number) of the BCM using one of the following DHCP options:
46, 128, 144, 157, 191, and 251.
•
Server 1 Port – the UDP port number used by the wireless handset to contact the LTPS Node
Connect Service to request registration with the BCM. If the wireless handset is using static IP
address configuration, enter port number 4100. If the WLAN handset is using DHCP, the
DHCP Server must be configured to provide the published IP address and UDP port number of
the BCM using one of the following DHCP options: 46, 128, 144, 157, 191, and 251.
The following components can be configured optionally:
•
TFTP Server IP – the IP address of the TFTP Server on the network that holds firmware
images for updating the wireless handsets. If this feature is configured (not set to 0.0.0.0 or
255.255.255.255), either through Static IP configuration, through using DHCP option 66
(TFTP Server), or the Boot server/next server (siaddr) field, the wireless handset checks for
different firmware each time it is powered on or comes back into range of the network. This
check takes only a short time and ensures that all wireless handsets in the network are kept
up-to-date with the same version of firmware.
•
OAI Server IP – the IP address of the WLAN Application Gateway 2246 (if using). If using
Static IP configuration, this is simply the IP address of the WLAN Application Gateway 2246.
If DHCP is being used, the wireless handset tries DHCP option 152.
•
Default Gateway and Subnet Mask – used to identify subnets, when using a complex
network which includes routers. Both of these fields must be configured (not set to 0.0.0.0 or
255.255.255.255) to enable the wireless handset to contact any network components on a
different subnet. They can be configured using Static IP configuration or through DHCP
options 3 (Default Gateway) and 1 (Subnet Mask) respectively. Contact the network
administrator for the proper settings for the network.
Note:
It does not matter if the firmware version on the TFTP Server is newer or older. If
the versions are different, the wireless handsets download the firmware from the TFTP
Server.
Note:
The wireless handsets cannot roam across subnets, since the wireless handsets
cannot change their IP address while operational. Ensure that all the APs are attached to
the same subnet for proper operation. The wireless handset can change subnets if DHCP is
enabled, and the wireless handset is powered off, then back on, when within range of APs
on a new subnet.
