Wireless LAN Management

Members,
Any suggestions as to which is the best WLAN management application to use for AP 1200s?
Our WLAN Network is small at the moment but could grow a lot bigger.
I would like to try Cisco Wireless LAN solution Engine, but unfortunately they do not make available an evaluation copy.
So, any ideas?
Regards,
Martin.

Martin,
I am aware of a solution that effeciently manages, moitors and helps in mass-configuration of small and medium sized WLAN infrastructure including all Cisco Accesspoints, Switches and routers.
If you are interested send me an e-mail at [email protected] I can refer you to the appropriate contact. They do provide an evaluation copy.

Wireless LAN Management - Cisco 1130 WLSE Error.

Hello,
I'm tearing my hair out over a Cisco WLSE 1130, I recently purchased it and I'm trying to run the Recovery CD.
I've downloaded the 2.15 Recovery CD ISO image from Cisco and created a working CD
I've run into a wall with the Recovery CD - the WLSE begins to boot from it, but will stop almost immediately in a LINUX loading screen like this:
Loading initrd.lmg..............ok
Loading vminuz..................ready.
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
I tried downloading the different ISO version image again, with the same result.
When I logged onto the console port at the back after series of messages, I get the following result.
--------------- ME1110 Maintenance Image -----------------
INIT: Entering runlevel: 1
bash: no job conEXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
trol in this shell
CDROM is hde
Partitioning the drive: size = 78150744.
Error: Version infomation not found in flash.
flushing ide devices:
hda hde
Restarting system.
And then it just hangs there instead.
Has anyone had these kinds of problems before and how did they get round them?
I'm under the impression that the Recovery CD has a full HD image of the WLSE - it rewrites everything on the WLSE hard disk, including the filesystem, partitions and the LINUX OS, not just the Cisco bits on top of those?
Is there a limit to what version of the OS a WLSE 1030 can run (the 2.1.15 CD won't load because of this?)?
Is there another way to get into the recovery image?
Is there a ghost image or something of a virgin WLSE server hard drive somewhere, to reimage the WSLE HDD offline?
Is my WLSE toast?
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards
AB

That error message is recoverable by two things, try them in the following order:
1. Burn a new iso CD with a slower speed (no more than 4x).
2. Open a TAC case for a Replacement Unit (RMA)

Incompatible Config Free and Wireless LAN driver/manager

Hi,
The *ConfigFree 5.90.05AB*, available in the Satellite MCE A100-498 download drivers area, is incompatible with the wireless lan manager *Intel PROSet Utility 12.4.0.0.3* (driver *Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 12.4.0.21.1*), also available in the same place.
When both installed, the *Conectivity Doctor* and *Profiles* tool returns the error "+cfmain.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience+".
Is there any other version of ConfigFree that works with this wireless lan driver/manager version? Will Toshiba release another ConfigFree version?
Best regards,
FilipeSilva

You can install what you want but please follow the exact installations order .
It is very important.
All offered drivers, tools and utilities are tested and I cannot imagine Toshiba will offer some new version for 3 years old notebooks.

4404 wireless lan controller managment via wireless clients

I am having an issue managing a 4404 wireless lan controller via wireless clients.
I have checked the box "enable controller management to be accessible from wireless clients" under management. For some reason that does not seem to fix the problem (page cannot be displayed). I cannot ping the controller by IP but other devices on the same subnet respond. Everything else works fine.
I CAN manage the controller when plugged in a wired connection.
When I do a route print it is identical wireless or wired. The route simple points to my interface. If I modify the route on my computer to actually point to our gateway instead of the interface then everything works. But why should I have to do this only for my wireless connection and not my wired to manage this box?

Thanks for the info. I narrowed the problem down to an ARP issue.
In order for me to connect to the controller, I run a batch file that creates a static ARP entry on my laptop. I don't have to do this for any other device except the controller. Not sure what the underlying cause is, but that works as a workaround right now.

PCI Card Slot - Wireless LAN Card Problems - Help!

Help.
I'm having problems getting my board to recognize both:
Linksys WMP11 Wireless LAN card; and
Netgear WG311T Wireless LAN card
(returned the Linksys card, but the Netgear card had the same problem).
Neither card is being picked up by Windows (XP Home), although both the "power" and "link" LED lights up when inserted. I've tried every PCI slot, same issue. Nothing shows up in the device manager, and no new hardware is detected. The Netgear software tells me that the card has not been installed.
Am left thinking I need to RMA the board. Any suggestions woudl be much appreciated.
K8N Neo Platinum
AMD 64 3200+
512mb OCZ 3200EL
Samsung 120mb SATA 7200rpm
Pioneer 108D DVD
Sapphire 9600xt

My roommate has a similar setup as you and I am having the same problem getting a pci wifi card to work in the machine. I have tried both a Linksys WMP54G and a Netgear WG311. Both cards will scan for networks bit will never connect my router (Linksys WRT54G). Just to get them to recognise the network, I have to turn off WEP, and turn on ESSID broadcast. Both of these cards work prefect in other computers. I know it not a signal problem because I can take my laptop and set it in the same location and it gets excellent signal.
I have tried changing slots in the machine, the wifi cards were the only PCI cards in the machine and an GeForce 6800 GT in the AGP slot. I have no idea what the problem could be. But I'm leaning towards the mobo at this point.

Domain Logon fails using wireless LAN

Hi Sir,
I am setting up an ACS server to authenticate the wireless LAN users using PEAP MS-CHAPv2for one of my existing customer. They need to login to domain whenever they need to access to the network
On the wireless client's end, the OS is Xp and the client will use Windows XP wireless zero configuration. I have put in the necessary setting in order for it to support PEAP. I managed to get authenticated by checking against the passed authentications log found in the ACS.
However, the problem happens when I tried to reboot the desktop and Domain Logon appears, I was not able to logon to the Domain. I think I know the cause of the problem. It was because the wireless card is not authencated yet prior to the Domain logon screen.
How can I connect to the wireless network prior to the appearance of the Domain logon windows. There is no options for me to try in the XP wireless zero configuration to activate the wireless LAN before the Domain Logon windows comes out.
Thank you.
Delon

Even if still it does not work, ensure the following:
1) Change the logon credentials for the ACS services to use a domain administrator account. Often times the local member server administrator account does not have any rights on the AD.
a. Ensure the ACS services start with the Domain Administrator account.
b. Ensure you are able to log in to the server using this Domain Administrator account .
c. Ensure the Domain Administrator account (or the account with which the services start) have privileges to log on locally, Log on as a service and Act as part of the operating system.
2) Ensure the FQDN of all domain controllers is added to the DNS names.

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

Hi Joao,
The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
From this doc;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
Overview of WCS
The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

Is it possible run a Wireless LAN controller without a WCS?

is it possible run a Wireless LAN controller without a WCS?
How Can I configure the Wireless Lan controller?
Thanks

Hi Alfred,
The WLC can be completly configured and operated without the WCS. The WCS is a nice addition for the management especially when running multiple WLC's but is not required.

AIR-CAP3501I access point not joining the Cisco 2100 Wireless Lan controller.

Hello All,
I am installing a new LAP (AIR-CAP3501I ) through the wireless lan controller (AIR-WLC2112-K9) with software version 7.0. I have an external ADSL modem which will act as the DHCP server for the wireless clients and the LAP.
Please find my network setup as below:
The ISP ADSL modem , WLC and LAP are connected to a unmanaged POE switch. The LAP gets its power through the POE switch. When i connect the LAP and the WLC to the switch along with the ADSL modem, the LAPs are getting the ip address from the ADSL modem, however they are not joining the WLC for further process.
ADSL Modem ip address: 192.168.1.254
Management ip address on the LAP: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to port 1, untagged Vlan).
Ap Manager ip address: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to the same port i.e port1, Untagged Vlan).
The LAP is getting an IP address from the ADSL modem in the range of the DHCP scope.
I will paste the logs very soon.
Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong oe what will be the issue.
Thanks in advance,
Mohammed Ameen

The Acess point joins the Controller for 2-3 seconds and then unjoins again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The access points are getting the IPs from the ADSL modem through the switch, then it talks to the WLC, however it does not join the controller for further process.
Note:
The Managemnet interface and the AP manager interface are assigned to the same port 1 with unassigned Vlan as mention above.

What should I download as the wireless LAN driver/adapter

When I search for a wireless LAN driver in the hp site there are 8 or more wireless LAN drivers/adapters under different names. I do not know what exactly I need. please help me. I downloaded Mediatek 802.11wireless LAN adapter driver but I couldn't connect to any other laptop's wifi hotspot. Sometimes it says "Connecting to the connecting to the network is taking longer than usual".Because of this I can not play LAN games. I know the connection is limited but connecting to the network should be fast and there should not be any problem with it.

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand that you are looking to find out which Wireless LAN driver you should download for your Wireless Adapter. If you look under your device manager, what does it say under Network Adapters ? You can right click on the Network Adapter it lists and click Update Driver Software right there. Do you have any exclamations marks or red x's? Your could also use the HP Support Assistant to make sure that all of your updates have been done. That would put the proper driver in also. If you want to use the HP Pavilion 15-n240tx Notebook PC Driver Webpage, all you have to do is find out what the name of your Network Adapter is in your Device Manager. (Picture above) Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!

Satellite C55-A5105 Wi-Fi is painfully slow, wireless LAN driver won't install

I've been bouncing around for solution on this issue of C55-A's and 8.1 having problems with slow Wi-Fi, and attempted to do the driver update. However, after downloading an extracting to it's own folder on my Desktop, I get to a point where it reads it cannot locate file C:\Users\<my username>\Desktop\<folder name>\Win8164\REALTEK Wirless LAN Driver.msi. If I retry, I get a 1706 error, no valid source could be found for product REALTEK Wireless LAN driver. I'm pretty certain I'm download the correct driver. I have run a check from Device Manager to see if the latest driver is installed, and I'm being told yes, so I can't figure out why speed is so slow still. This is my wife's laptop and it's barely used since we got in May, so we are a bit behind on Windows updates. Not sure that has anything to do with it. I've also disabled the Wireless card from being able to be powered down, another tip I found in this forum.

Hi Peter. I stumbled on this site and downloaded the driver they link to, followed their instructions, and see no improvement. I'm trying to break up the Windows Update downloads, and 84MB is a snail's pace. Do you have any info on what driver i should be updating exactly, and where that file may be?
