Configuring a New Controller Starting from Factory Defaults

1. Initial provisioning of the controller is done via the command line

interface (CLI). Connect a null modem serial cable between the
console port of the controller and the serial port of a PC.

2. Open a terminal program, such as Hyper Terminal, and configure the

port settings to 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.

3. Power-on the controller. Status of the controller’s boot process will

appear as the controller is powering up. Once the controller is
running, it will prompt you to run the Startup Wizard.

4. The Startup Wizard provides for an easy means to perform initial

controller setup and provisioning. Refer to the Installation and Startup
Guide
for the Cisco 4400 Series WLC, or other appropriate controller,
found at Cisco’s website. This document contains a detailed
explanation of using the Startup Wizard for the 4400:

k/guide/ctrlv32.html#wp34023

5. Once the controller has been configured via the Startup Wizard, the

remaining configuration can be configured through the switch-web
interface using a Web browser (Cisco recommends using MS IE 6.0+).

6. If necessary, the controller can be reset to factory defaults. To reset

the WLC to factory default, you must reboot, then type

Recover-

config

at the CLI. This only works before the first time a user logs in

via the console.
