Step 14 Enter the IP address of the Wireless LAN Controller in the Primary Controller IP Address field.
Step 15 Leave the Static IP check box unchecked to allow the WAN IP address to be assigned by DHCP.
Step 16 Click Apply to commit your changes.
Step 17 The screen switches to a verification screen. Click Continue when it appears.
The 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point connects to the controller and downloads the current software image. Allow 5 minutes for the device to download and reboot with the new code and configuration.
Note The 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point restarts when any change is applied on local the GUI. For example, changing the settings for the personal SSID causes interruption to the corporate SSID. It recovers only after the 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point rejoins controller.
Note You do not need to configure any SSIDs for your 600 Series OfficeExtend AP to connect to your company network. The access point receives the company SSID when it connects to the company network by way of the Internet. If you have problems connecting to your company network, contact your IT administrator. You can configure your local SSID WLAN for other devices. Refer to the Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend Access Point User Guide for more information.
