Before You Begin

WLAN Planning
Determine how many Dell APs are needed for your wireless network deployment and where they will be installed.
You can easily accomplish this planning using Dell's automated RF Plan site-survey software (available
separately). This process is considered WLAN or RF planning and should have been completed during the master
Dell controller installation and configuration. In typical Dell installations, the controllers are configured and
installed before the APs.
For WLAN planning assistance, refer to the Indoor Access Points: Site Survey and Planning Pre-Deployment Guide
and the RF Plan Installation and User Guide.
Pre-Installation Network Requirements
After WLAN planning is complete and the appropriate products and their placement have been determined, the
Dell controller(s) must be installed and initial setup performed before the Dell Access Points are deployed.
For initial setup of the controller, refer to the ArubaOS Quick Start Guide for the software version installed on
your controller.
