Quick Start Guide

This document describes the initial setup of a Dell user-centric network that consists of a Dell controller and Dell
Access Points (APs). The installation consists of the following steps:
1.
Launch the WebUI or Console Setup Wizard to configure the controller.
2.
Connect the controller to the wired network.
3.
Configure the controller to allow APs, when installed and powered on, to able to locate and connect to the
controller. If you are configuring mesh, define the mesh cluster profile, mesh radio profile, before installing
APs in a mesh networking environment.
4.
Install and connect your APs to the network.
Before you begin, review the contents of your controller shipment to ensure that you have received the following
items, then read the Dell Software
Dell Software License Agreement.

Install the Controller
The WebUI Startup Wizard allows you to configure access to the controller, install software licenses, and
configure wireless local area networks (WLANs) for internal or guest users. The Startup Wizard is available the
first time you connect to and log into the controller or whenever the controller is reset to its factory default
configuration. The serial console setup dialog allows you to configure basic controller settings through a serial
port connection to the controller. After you complete the Startup Wizard or serial console setup procedure, the
controller reboots using the new configuration information you entered.
Do not connect the controller to your network when running the Setup Wizard or serial console setup dialog. The
factory-default controller boots up with a default IP address and both DHCP server and spanning tree functions
enabled. Once you have completed setup and rebooted the controller, you can use the controller CLI or WebUI
to complete its configuration before connecting the controller to your network.
In addition to the traditional method mentioned above, the W-7000 Series controllers running ArubaOS 6.4.3
can be configured without user intervention with zero touch provisioning (ZTP). This option automatically
configures the controller using DHCP, or mini-setup. For more details, see
“Zero Touch Provisioning” on page

.
NOTE:
ZTP is enabled only on branch controllers. Only W-7000 Series controllers running on ArubaOS 6.4.3.1 or later can function
as a branch controller. The factory-default software on W-7005, W-7010, and W-7030 controllers is ArubaOS 6.4.2.3, and does not
support the branch controller feature. Hence, if W-7005, W-7010, and W-7030 controllers must function as a branch controller, they
must be upgraded to ArubaOS 6.4.3.1. The W-7200 Series controllers, even if running ArubaOS 6.4.3.1, cannot function as a branch
controller.
