Dell PowerConnect W

AirWave 7.1

Quick Start Guide

Overview

This guide is designed as a reference for installing the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave Wireless

Management Suite (AWMS) using the CentOS software bundled with the .iso disc image. If you are

installing AWMS on a VMware server, please consult Appendix H of the AWMS User Guide for

important installation instructions. If you are installing AWMS on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server,

contact Dell support at http://suport.dell.com.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Use this checklist to ensure installation goes smoothly

Checklist

Check

Have available the AWMS license key text sent to you in an email from Dell.

Obtain dedicated server meeting Dell sizing specifications

Static IP address for each AWMS server

Firewall provisioning enabling proper ports/protocols

WLAN infrastructure properties (type, quantity, and location)

WLAN infrastructure access credentials (SNMP, telnet, SSH, etc)

WLAN security policy specifications

Router and switches to monitoring (optional)

Upstream NMS applications (optional)

Wireless client authentication servers (optional)

AWMS administrative authentication servers like TACACS+ or RADIUS (optional)

Creating an AWMS Installation CD from .iso Disc Image

There is a variety of software tools that can be used to create an installation CD from the Dell

PowerConnect W AirWave Management Platform Installation CD .iso disc image. Dell recommends

using a free tool called burnatonce.

Note : The CD burning software included with Windows XP does not currently support the ability to create a CD from

an .iso disc image.

1. Download and save the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave Wireless Management Suite

Installation CD .iso disc image.

2. Download and install burnatonce from http://www.burnatonce.net/downloads/ (NOTE:

Windows ME users will need to download and install an additional ASPI layer.)

3. Insert a blank CD-R into the CD-R drive.

4. Right-click on the AWMS Installation CD .iso disc image file and select “burnatonce”.

When the burnatonce program opens, click the Write button. If burnatonce has not

automatically associated to the .iso disc image, run burnatonce manually and select the AWMS

install image from the Load menu.

For help with CD burning software other than burnatonce, please refer to the user guide for that

product and reference the option to create a CD from .iso disc image. With Nero, for instance, this

option may be found under File > Burn Image or Recorder > Burn Image.

Server Requirements

AWMS runs on a dedicated system and is compatible with most standard PC or rack-mount server

hardware. The AWMS Installation CD will format the hard disk, install the CentOS operating system,

and install the AWMS software. Please refer to the Dell PowerConnect W Airwave Sizing Guide for

minimum hardware requirements or contact dell support http://support.dell.com. Installation on

virtual machines may suffer from poor performance due to a current incompatibility with the operating

system kernel. The hardware must support Red Hat Enterprise 5.0.

Installing the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave Wireless

Management Suite

Warning : This will format system hard disk drive(s) and destroy existing data

Phase 1: Installation of Cent OS

Insert the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave Wireless Management Suite Installation CD into the CD-

ROM drive and boot the server from this CD. When prompted at the Dell PowerConnect W AirWave

splash screen, type “install” to begin installation of the Cent OS operating system. This process will

later prompt for the selection of appropriate keyboard layout and time zone for your location. When

the Cent OS installation is complete, the system will reboot and the installation CD will be ejected.

Remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive.

Phase 2: Installation and configuration of AWMS software

The system will proceed through the Cent OS Linux boot process and a login prompt will be displayed.

Use the following credentials to log in to the system which will display the message included below.

username: root

password: admin
