The TQ6702 GEN2-R wireless AP router supports the AlliedWare Plus firmware with command line interface (CLI) similar to Allied Telesis' switch and router products.
Configuration of wireless functions such as VAPs and security, as well as routing and firewall settings as a router, are done through the CLI or Web Graphical User Interface (Web GUI) of the wireless AP itself. The AWC plug-in only checks wireless and VAP settings and monitors the wireless AP and Associated clients via floor maps.

This quick tour will introduce the process of setting up a TQ6702 GEN2-R and registering it under the AWC plug-in management.

Components

Here is an example where another device on the Vista Manager EX management network already has an access to the Internet.
In this example, you will configure the basic settings for a terminal-based connection that is assigned a single fixed IP address on the management network.


You will configure WPA Personal wireless security mode.
In this example, two VAPs with the same SSIDs are created, both in the 2.4GHz band and the 5GHz band, and four VAPs are grouped into two IP segments by SSIDs. The firewall will block wireless communication between the different segments and only allow communication from each segment to the Vista-managed AMF network, including Internet access.
Band steering is enabled between VAPs with the same SSID to encourage client association to less congested bands.
To deny client access to the AMF network and allow only communication to the Internet, additional firewall settings will be required.

Note

When registering the wireless AP router under the management of the AWC plug-in, use eth1 port for the connection to the AMF network. You cannot register the router via eth2 port.

Note

If you wish to use the AWC calculation results of the wireless router, match the settings in the AP Profile with the settings in the CLI or Web GUI of the router itself. If you do not use the AWC calculation results, save the AP Profile in its default settings.

Before configuring your device

Confirm and delete automatic configuration

This Quick Tour assumes that the wireless routers start in an unconfigured state (with factory settings only).

Therefore, we recommend that you run the "erase startup-config" command and restart the device before beginning the configuration.

awplus# erase startup-config

The wireless AP router, even without a startup configuration, may automatically configure itself when certain conditions are met. If this occurs, even if commands are entered according to the configuration example, the commands may result in an error or the intended operation as a whole may not be achieved.

To avoid this, we recommend that you do one of the following to start the setup

• Start without a network cable attached and connect the cable after finishing startup sequence.
  One of the conditions for automatic configuration to take place at startup is the link-up of a specific interface.
  Startup with no network cable connected avoids this automatic configuration.
  
• Manually delete the automatic settings before the configuration.
  If automatic settings have been applied, delete these settings manually before starting the configuration.
  

Please refer to the TQ6702 GEN2-R Command Reference.

System Clock Setting

This product does not have a built-in real-time clock, so the time must be adjusted each time it is started up.
In managing the wireless router as an AMF member, the system time of the AMF member is synchronized with the AMF controller or master.
