Wireless Access

Hallo,

 

we have some aruba AP-207 and IAP-207-RW. There are no problems with the IAPs, which are all working fine. But we are not able to connect the AP-207 APs with the virtual controller. To configure them we are using a control cable and the settings (command: printenv) are equal to the IPA-207, also they have the same firmware 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.2. The AP-207 is pingable in the wireless network and i can even connect with the webinterface but for any reason the default username/password (admin/admin) doesn't work. Also reseting the device (command purgeenv) doesn't help.

 

Best regards

Hi,

 

I think you have only IAP-207 and not an AP-207. Are the country codes the same? All the AP's needs the same country code.

If the country code is the same. Please take a look in the logs add the VC > show log system 50. If the AP is rejected you will see it in the logs.

 

Regards,

 

Hallo,

thanks for your answer. The Countrycodes on the packaging are all ROW. But I guess I need to have a chat with our supplier cause the SN, MAC, etc. are different (packaging label and device label). I think we need to workout a solution with the supplier, that we received the APs we ordered. We hoped that we can use the AP-207 after configure them with the console cable but it looks like it won't be working in this combination.

 

Best regards

You cannot convert an AP-207 to an IAP-207. The other way round will work.

You have to talk to your Distributer to get an Instant AP instead.

Dear Team,

 

we have AP 207 device and not able to login through UI interface. i have tried with APboot and configured the ENET0 port.

The AP is running ArubaOS Version 6.5.1.0 so it will not have a GUI you can log in to. If this is an IAP and running InstantOS then the (I)AP will have a GUI you can log in to.

Thank you sir.

Can you please guide how to configure it.
Is AP207 has to be configured from master controller?

We have a master controller : 7205.

Please guide.

Regards,
Jose

Yes, you will need to configure the AP from the Master controller. In the first case make sure that the AP in question can discover the master controller.
