16 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 3 Defining a Basic Configuration An AP6532 Series access point can utilize an initial setup wizard to streamline the process of initially accessing the wireless network. The wizard defines the access point’s operational mode, deployment location, basic security, network and WLAN settings. 3.
Defining a Basic Configuration 3. Enter the default username admin in the Username field. 4. Enter the default password motorola in the Password field. 5. Click the Login button to load the management interface. NOTE When logging in for the first time, you’re prompted to change the password to enhance device security in subsequent logins. NOTE If you get disconnected when running the wizard, you can connect again with the access point’s actual IP address (once obtained) and resume the wizard.
18 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 6. If this is the first time the management interface has been accessed, a dialogue displays to start the wizard. Select Start Wizard to run the initial setup wizard.
Defining a Basic Configuration The first page of the Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Navigation Panel and Introduction for the configuration activities comprising the access point's initial setup 19
20 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide A green checkmark to the left of an item in the Navigation Panel defines the listed task as having its minimum required configuration parameters set correctly. A red X defines the task as still requiring at least one parameter be defined correctly. The Introduction screen displays a list of the basic configuration activities supported by the Initial Setup Wizard. 7. Select Save/Commit within each page to save the updates made to that page's configuration.
Defining a Basic Configuration 9. Select an Access Point Type from the following options: • Virtual Controller AP - When more than one access point is deployed, a single access point can function as a Virtual Controller AP. Up to 24 access points can be connected to, and managed by, a single Virtual Controller AP of the same AP6532 model. • Standalone AP -Select this option to deploy this access point as an autonomous fat access point.
22 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide NOTE • If designating the access point as a Standalone AP, Motorola Solutions recommends the access point’s UI be used exclusively to define its device configuration, and not the CLI. The CLI provides the ability to define more than one profile and the UI does not. Consequently, the two interfaces cannot be used collectively to manage profiles without an administrator encountering problems.
Defining a Basic Configuration 11. Select an Access Point Mode from the available options. • Router Mode - In Router Mode, the access point routes traffic between the local network (LAN) and the Internet or external network (WAN). Router mode is recommended in a deployment supported by just a single access point. • Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, the AP depends on an external router for routing LAN and WAN traffic.

An AP6532 access point does not have an onboard DHCP server and an external DHCP server must be utilized. • Static IP Address/Subnet - Enter an IP Address and a subnet for the access point's LAN interface. If Use DHCP is selected, this field is not available.
26 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 15. Set the following DHCP and Static IP Address/Subnet information for the WAN interface: • Use DHCP - Select the checkbox to enable an automatic network address configuration using the access point’s DHCP server. • Static IP Address/Subnet - Enter an IP Address/Subnet and gateway for the access point's WAN interface.
Defining a Basic Configuration 16. Select Next. The Initial AP Setup Wizard displays the Radio Configuration screen to define support for the 2.4GHz radio band, 5GHz radio band or to set the radio's functionality as a dedicated sensor. An AP6532 supports a single dual-band radio. NOTE The ADSP Sensor Support field displays at the bottom of the screen only if a radio has been dedicated as a sensor.
28 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 17. Set the following parameters for the radio: • Configure as a Date Radio - Select this option to dedicate this radio for WLAN client support in either the selected 2.4 or 5GHz radio band.

The selected band is used for WLAN client support. Considers selecting one radio for 2.4GHz and another for 5GHz support (if using a dual or three radio model) when supporting clients in both the 802.11bg and 802.11n bands. • Power Level - Use the spinner control to select a 1 - 23 dBm minimum power level to assign to this radio in selected 2.4 or 5.
30 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 19. Set the following parameters for each of the two WLAN configurations available as part of this Initial AP Setup Wizard: • SSID - Enter or modify the Services Set Identification (SSID) associated with the WLAN. The WLAN name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum number of characters is 32. Do not use < > | “ & \ ? , This is a required parameter for each WLAN.
Defining a Basic Configuration granted to the network. If using this option, define whether a local or external RADIUS authentication resource is used. • PSK Authentication and WPA2 Encryption - Select the option to implement a preshared key that must be correctly shared between the access point and requesting clients using this WLAN. If using this option, specify a WPA key in either ASCII (8-63 characters) or HEX (64 characters) format.
32 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 21. Refer to the Username, Password, Description and Actions columns to review credentials of existing RADIUS Server user accounts. Add new accounts or edit the properties of existing accounts as updates are required. 22. Refer to the Add On-Board RADIUS Server Users field to set the following parameters for a user account: • Username - If adding a new user account, create a username up to X characters in length.
Defining a Basic Configuration • Confirm Password - Re-enter (or modify) the password as a means of confirming the password. This is a required parameter. • Description - Optionally provide a description of the user account as means of further differentiating it from others. 23. When completed, select Add User to commit a new user, Modify User to commit a modified user or Reset to clear the screen without updating the configuration. Selecting Reset clears the field of all entered user account information.
34 AP6532 Series Access Point: Installation Guide 25. Refer to the Country and Time Zone field to set the following device deployment information: • Location - Define the location of the access point. The Location parameter acts as a reminder of where the AP can be located within the Motorola Solutions managed wireless network. • Contact - Specify the contact information for the administrator. The credentials provided should accurately reflect the individual responding to service queries.
Defining a Basic Configuration that can be transmitted. This is a required parameter. • Time Zone - Set the time zone where the access point is deployed. This is a required parameter.
