1 Introduction
The Symbol WS5100 Series Switch is the high-performance member of Symbol’s Wireless Switch
family. The WS5100 Series Switch provides centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration and
management by coalescing the network “intelligence” that was previously spread across physically
distributed access points. By replacing access points with simpler access ports (or “thin” access
points), the WS5100 becomes a WLAN’s single point of contact, thus reducing wireless networking
complexity by moving management out of the ceiling and into the wiring closet. In addition, through
the use of Symbol’s patented Virtual AP architecture, the WS5100 lets you create multiple WLANs
without changing or adding to the existing wired network infrastructure.
This document is written for the network device installer.

3 Hardware Setup
3.1 Installing the WS5100

To install the WS5100 switch in a rack:

1. Attach the rack brackets to the sides of the device. The rack brackets are ambidextrous.
2. Attach the brackets to the rack.
 Hardware Setup 7

3.2 Adding the WS5100 to the Network

The WS5100 fits in the distribution layer of the existing wired network, and must have OSI Layer 2
or Layer 3 connectivity with the access ports it needs to adopt.
To add the WS5100 to the network and prepare it for initial configuration:
1. Using a Category 6 Ethernet cable, connect a LAN switch to the Eth1 Ethernet port (the left port)
on the front panel of the WS5100.
2. Deploy the required amount of access port(s) to the WLAN.
3. Using a Category 6 Ethernet cable, connect another LAN switch to the Eth2 Ethernet port (the
right port) on the front panel of the WS5100.
4. Using the supplied console cable, connect the WS5100 serial port to an RS-232 (DB-9) serial
port on a separate computer (the “configuration computer”).
5. On the configuration computer, configure a terminal emulation application
(such as HyperTerminal) as follows:

Terminal Type VT-100

Port COM 1-4 (depending on which COM port you are using.)
19200 bps transfer rate
8 data bits
no parity
Terminal Settings
1 stop bit
no flow control
no hardware compression

The WS5100 does not need to be fully deployed into the wired or wireless network to complete the
installation steps outlined in “Preliminary Switch Configuration” on page 11.

3.3 Supplying Power to the WS5100

1. Verify the WS5100 power is switched off before connecting the AC power cord.
2. Plug an approved AC power cord into the power connector at the back of the WS5100.
3. Plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC.
4. Toggle the power switch (at the back of the WS5100) to the On position.
8 WS5100 Series: Installation Guide

WARNING! An improper shutdown can render the WS5100 inoperable such that it
could require service by Symbol Support. Do not remove AC power or
turn off the WS5100 (by toggling the on/off switch on the back of the
device) without first following the shutdown procedure described in
“Shutting Down the WS5100” on page 20. An abrupt loss of power can
corrupt the information stored on the device.

3.4 Verifying the Installation

View the LEDs on the front panel of the WS5100 to ensure the device is functioning properly. The
normal LED pattern follows this path:
• During the Power On Self Test (POST), the two LEDs cycle through all three colors (blue, amber,
red).
• If the POST test fails, both LEDs eventually blink red. If the POST test succeeds, the LEDs will be
(momentarily) lit solid blue.
• As the software is initialized, the top LED is solid blue, but the bottom LED is unlit.
• After the software has finished initializing, the top LED is blinking amber and the bottom LED
is solid amber. The WS5100 is ready to be configured, as described in the next chapter.
Other LED codes indicate the presence (or absence) of access ports, different standby states, and so
on. A guide to the WS5100 LEDs codes is provided in “LED Codes” on page 4.
 Preliminary Configuration through the CLI 9

4 Preliminary Configuration through the CLI

Before proceeding with the instructions below, connect a configuration (host) computer to the
WS5100, as described in “Adding the WS5100 to the Network” on page 7. Keep in mind, the
switch does not have to be deployed into the network to perform this initial configuration.

4.1 Logging Into the CLI

After you have connected to the WS5100 through the serial port and powered on the switch, the
terminal emulation window displays a series of diagnostic messages (which you can ignore), after
which it displays the WS5100 Series user name prompt. Use the name CLI to continue:
user name: cli

NOTE If the user name prompt isn’t displayed, press Enter until it appears.

Next, you are taken to the CLI login. Log in as admin with the password superuser:
ws5100>

NOTE When using the WS5100 CLI, be aware of the inactivity timeout in order
to avoid being logged out of your CLI session if the interval is exceeded.
10 WS5100 Series: Installation Guide

4.2 Configuring the WS5100 IP Address

Before you can set the switch’s preliminary configuration using the Web UI, the IP address assigned
to the switch must be known. By default the switch uses virtual LAN 1, which is mapped to Ethernet
port 2 for the switch default wired LAN management port.

4.2.1 DHCP Configuration

The default setting is to use a DHCP served IP address to access the WS5100 through Ethernet Port
2. No Changes to the configuration are required for this setting.
Use the “show ip interface brief” command to display the IP address assigned to the switch by the
DHCP server.

4.2.2 Setting Static IP Information

Setting a fixed IP address for the VLAN 1 interface on the switch will automatically disable DHCP.
To set the IP address for the switch:
ws5100>enable
ws5100#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z
ws5100(config)#interface vlan 1
ws5100(config-if)#ip address w.x.y.z/24
ws5100(config-if)#exit
ws5100(config)#ip default-gateway w.x.y.n
ws5100(config)#ip name-server x.x.x.x

To verify the settings and connection:

ws5100(config)#exit
ws5100#ping w.x.y.z

To save the settings to be available on the next reboot of the switch:

ws5100#write memory
[OK]
At this point, the initial configuration of the WS5100 is complete. Continue the configuration
through the switch’s Web UI, as described in the next section.
 Preliminary Switch Configuration 11

5 Preliminary Switch Configuration

To complete a preliminary configuration of the WS5100, several different screens within the Web UI
will be referenced. The goal of the initial configuration, is to define settings for the switch to
associate to an MU with a minimal level of data protection. For advanced switch configuration, refer
to the WS5100 Series System Reference Guide, available on the Symbol Web site.
Using the instructions below, define a WLAN policy and a security policy. Then, apply these policies
to the WS5100 switch. After you have created and applied the policies, you should be able to
associate and communicate with a properly configured mobile unit. When ready to verify the
preliminary configuration described in this section, refer to “Verifying the Configuration” on
page 19.

5.1 Web UI Requirements

The WS5100 Series Web UI is accessed using Internet Explorer version 5.5 and SUN JRE (Java
Runtime Environment) 1.5. (Later versions of IE and the SUN JRE are also supported.) Refer to the
Sun Microsystems Web site for information on downloading JRE.
To prepare Internet Explorer to run the WS5100 Series Web UI:
1. Open IE’s Tools > Internet Options panel and select the Advanced tab.
2. Uncheck the following checkboxes:

3. Close the WS5100 Series Switch Dashboard.

The WS5100 Switch screen displays with the Configuration tab selected.
14 WS5100 Series: Installation Guide

4. Enter a System Name for this WS5100 Series Switch. The System Name is helpful in
differentiating multiple switches with similar configurations.
5. Use the Country drop-down menu to assign the switch a country of operation.
Selecting the country is central to legally operating a WS5100 Series Switch. Each country has
its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum RF
signal strength that can be transmitted. To ensure compliance with national and local laws, be
sure to set the country accurately.

!
CAUTION The switch cannot adopt access ports until the country code is set.
Failure to set the proper country could violate regulatory laws.

6. Optionally specify the switch location and the administrator’s email address as a point of
contact in case an individual needs to be notified regarding events impacting switch
performance.
You are now ready to define a WLAN and configure it with the minimum security required to
securely test an MU association.
 Preliminary Switch Configuration 15

7. From the main menu, select Network > Wireless LANs.

The Wireless LANs screen displays with existing WLANs appearing within the table. 32
disabled WLANs are available to either use as is, or select, enable and edit to better suit the
needs of WS5100 switch-managed network. For the purposes of the preliminary configuration
described within this guide, a WLAN will be enabled and edited to configure a secure
association with a single MU.

CAUTION The WLANs initially displaying within the Wireless LANs

!
configuration screen have no authentication or encryption scheme
assigned. To securely use one of these WLANs, it must be enabled
and have a security scheme assigned to it.

8. Highlight a WLAN from those displayed within the table and click the Enable button at the
bottom of the screen.
A green checkmark within the Enabled column defines the WLAN as enabled. A red “x” within
the Enabled column defines the WLAN as disabled.
16 WS5100 Series: Installation Guide

9. Select the newly enabled WLAN and click the Edit button.
The Wireless LANs Edit screen displays.

10. Within the Configuration field, set the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) used with
the WLAN. The ESSID defined for this WLAN must match the ESSID defined for those MUs
intending to use the WLAN for switch-managed network communication. The maximum number
of characters that can be used for the ESSID is 32.
Make a note of the ESSID, you will need it later when verifying the configuration
 Preliminary Switch Configuration 17

11. Define the Name for the WLAN. The name should be logical representation of the WLAN’s
coverage area (engineering, marketing etc.). The maximum number of characters that can be
used for the name is 31.
At this point of the WLAN configuration, a WEP 128 based encryption scheme will be defined to
secure the data traffic between the WS5100 and its associated MU(s).

NOTE For the purposes of defining a security scheme for the WLAN (as
described within this preliminary configuration discussion), WEP 128 will
be used. However, there are many more sophisticated security schemes
available to the WS5100 Series Switch. For information on configuring a
more robust security scheme. refer to the WS5100 Series Switch System
Reference Guide available from the Symbol Web site.

12. Within the Encryption field, select the WEP 128 checkbox and click the Config button.
The WEP 128/KeyGuard screen displays with fields to define the Pass Key used to generate
WEP keys. These keys must be the same between the WS5100 and its associated MU to encrypt
packets between the two devices.

13. Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button. The pass key can be any
alphanumeric string. The WS5100, other proprietary routers and Symbol MUs use the algorithm
to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Symbol adapters
need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.
18 WS5100 Series: Installation Guide

14. Use the Key #1-4 areas to specify key numbers. The key can be either a hexadecimal or ASCII
string. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length or 13 ASCII
characters. Select one of the keys for activation by clicking its radio button.
15. Click OK to save the settings within the WEP 128/KeyGuard screen.
16. Click OK within the Wireless LANs Edit screen to save the changes made within this screen.

NOTE Ensure the ESSID and WEP 128 Key settings defined for the WS5100
have been set identically for the MU used to verify the WS5100
preliminary configuration.

17. Click the Save button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen to ensure all changes have
been implemented.
 Verifying the Configuration 19

6 Verifying the Configuration

The surest way to verify the WLAN’s configuration is valid and the switch is operational, is to
associate a MU and confirm the MU can communicate with a device on the wired LAN.
To verify the MU’s association with the WS5100:
1. Deploy the WS5100 into the wired and wireless networks by connecting the Ethernet cables as
described in “Adding the WS5100 to the Network” on page 7.
2. Identify (by IP address or host name) a computer the WS5100 can communicate with over the
wired LAN. This is the device the MU will try to communicate with later in these instructions.
3. Verify an access port has been adopted by the WS5100.
4. Ensure the target MU has the same ESSID and WEP settings defined for the WS5100 following
the instructions in section 5 of this document.
5. Verify the MU has been associated by selecting Network > Mobile Units from the main
menu. The Mobile Units screen should display the MU’s MAC address and network address
information. If the MU does not display within the Mobile Units screen, verify the MU’s ESSID
and encryption settings are properly set.
6. If more information is required for the target MU, select the MU from the Mobile Units screen
(within the Status tab) and click the Details button. The Details screen displays everything the
WS5100 knows about this specific MU.
7. Finally, verify the WS5100 is fully operational on both sides of the network (wired and wireless)
by pinging the device on the wired LAN from the MU. If the wired device responds, the WS5100
is working. If it doesn’t respond, make sure the wired device is on, is on the proper LAN, and
you are pinging the correct IP address or host name.
