Table 1 Pre-Installation Checklist

Checklist Check

Have available the AirWave license key sent to you in an email sent from Dell

Obtain dedicated server meeting Dell sizing specifications

Determine the static IP address for each AirWave server

Firewall provisioning enabling proper ports/protocols

Determine WLAN infrastructure properties (type, quantity, and location)

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

Determine WLAN security policy specifications

Set router and switches to monitoring (optional)

Configure upstream NMS applications (optional)

Determine wireless client authentication servers (optional)

Determine AirWave administrative authentication servers like TACACS+, LDAP, or

RADIUS (optional)

If upgrading, ensure that your current version is not more than two versions behind. For

Creating the AirWave Installation CD from .iso Disc Image

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

CD .iso disc image. You can use a free tool called burnatonce.

1. Download and save the AirWave 7.5 Installation CD .iso disc image.

2. Download and install burnatonce from http://www.burnatonce.net/downloads/. Windows 95/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 AMP Installation CD .iso disc image file and select burnatonce.

5. 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 AirWave 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

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

The AirWave Installation CD will format the hard disk, install the CentOS operating system, and install the

AirWave software.

For minimum hardware requirements, refer to the AirWave 7.5 Sizing Guide on support.dell.com/manuals, or

contact Dell support at support.dell.com. The hardware must support Red Hat Enterprise 5.0.

Installing AirWave

Phase 1: Installation of Cent OS

Insert the AirWave Installation CD into the CD-ROM drive and boot the server from this CD. When prompted

at the 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 AirWave 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 that will display the message included below.

username: root

password: admin

NOTE: The CD burning software included with Windows XP does not currently support the ability to create a CD from an .iso disc

image.

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