Precautions

Before installing an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point, verify the following:

●

●

The intended deployment site is not a wet or dusty area.

The environment has a continuous temperature range between 0° C to 50° C.

Access Point Placement

For optimal performance, install the Altitude 4600 Series Access Point away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other industrial equipment. Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block transmission. Install the access point in an open area or add access points as needed to improve coverage.

Antenna coverage is analogous to lighting. Users might find an area lit from far away to be not bright enough. An area lit sharply might minimize coverage and create dark areas. Uniform antenna placement in an area (like even placement of a light bulb) provides even, efficient coverage.

Place the access point using the following guidelines:

● Install the access point at an ideal height of 10 feet from the ground.

● Orient the access point antennas vertically for best reception.

To maximize the access point’s radio coverage area, Extreme Networks ® recommends conducting a site survey to define and document radio interference obstacles before installing an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point.

Integrated Antenna Model Wall Mount Instructions

This mounting requires hanging the access point along its width or length using the two slots on the bottom of the unit. An Altitude 4600 Series Access Point can be mounted onto any plaster, wood, or cement wall surface using the provided wall anchors.

Basic 4600 Series Configuration

Establishing Basic AP Connectivity

This section defines the steps required to establish basic AP connectivity with an

Extreme Networks Summit ® WM3000 series controller.

Prerequisites for connecting an Altitude 4600 Series Access Point to a controller include:

●

●

●

Ensure your controller has an appropriate access point capacity license.

Ensure the controller is up and running on the network and is reachable from the network on which the AP is installed.

Refer to the controller installation guide and Summit WM3000 Series Controller System

Reference Guide for details.

Access Point Controller Adoption

Access point adoption is the process of a controller accepting the access point’s device radios for use within the controller managed network. The access point’s radio(s) encapsulates every packet and sends them to the controller.

When the controller and the AP are in same Layer 2 domain, the AP can discover the controller and gets adopted by the controller automatically. It is plug-n-play and no other configuration is required. If the AP and controller are across a subnet, the process defined in the next paragraph is required for AP adoption.

The Altitude 4600 Series Access Point and WLAN controller support standard and vendor specific DHCP options which can be supplied from a DHCP server to the

Altitude 4600 Series Access Point operating as a DHCP client. The DHCP options can be enabled on the DHCP server to automate management functions such as firmware image and configuration file updates as well as provide the necessary information to an access point for automatic controller discovery allowing for plug and play access point deployment.


Basic 4600 Series Configuration

An Altitude 4600 Series Access Points support the following DHCP vendor options:
