Deployment and Installation

At SKYRS, we ensure the hardware is primed for the local Pakistani networking environment. The deployment process follows these critical stages:

Physical Setup

1. Unboxing: Verify the unit and power adapter (100–240 VAC compatible).

2. Mounting: The compact form factor allows for desktop or shelf placement. Ensure 10 cm of clearance for ventilation.

3. Cabling: Connect the Management port to your local switch. Use the RJ-45 console port for initial out-of-band access if required.

Connectivity Requirements

• Access Points: Requires AIR-AP521G or AIR-LAP521G units.

• Management PC: A workstation with an Ethernet port and a modern browser for the Web UI.

Configuration Guide

Configuration is simplified through the Cisco Configuration Assistant (CCA) or the embedded Web-based Device Manager, both supported by the SKYRS technical team.

Initial Priming

1. Connect your PC directly to the Controller’s management port.

2. The controller defaults to a DHCP server mode for setup; your PC will receive an IP in the 192.168.1.x range.

3. Access the setup wizard via browser at http://192.168.1.1.

4. Define the System Name, Country Code (Pakistan), and Admin Credentials.

WLAN and Security Setup

• SSID Mapping: Assign specific VLANs to SSIDs to separate guest traffic from corporate data.

• Guest Access: Enable the “Secure Guest Access” feature to provide a captive portal for visitors without compromising your internal network.

• Radio Resource Management (RRM): The controller automatically adjusts power and channel settings of connected APs to minimize interference in crowded urban areas like Karachi or Lahore.
