Configuring APs to Communicate with the Host Computer

Context

After receiving information reported by student wristbands, RFID cards sends the information to the host computer through APs and upstream Ethernet links. To enable the RFID cards to connect to the correct host computer and establish links, configure communication parameters between the APs and host computer.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run wlan
The WLAN view is displayed.
Run iot-profile name profile-name
An IoT profile is created and the IoT profile view is displayed.

By default, no IoT profile is created.
Run type common
The IoT card type is set to common.

The default type of an IoT card is common.
Run management-server { domain domain-name | server-ip server-ip } server-port server-port-num
The IP address and port number of a host computer is configured.

By default, no host computer is configured.
(Optional) Run share-key key-value
A shared key is configured.

By default, no shared key is configured.
Run quit
Return to the WLAN view.
Apply configurations to an IoT card interface.
- Bind the IoT profile in the IoT card interface view of an AP group.
  1. Run the ap-group name group-name command to enter the AP group view.
  2. Run the card card-number command to enter the IoT card interface view.
  3. Run the iot-profile profile-name config-agent tcp port port [ ext-port ext-port ] command to bind the IoT profile and configure the local port number mapping the IoT card interface.
    
    By default, no IoT profile is bound to an IoT card interface.
    
    A port number within the range from 50200 to 50202 is recommended. If another port number is used, a port conflict may occur and an alarm is generated.
    
    Telpo's host computer can connect to APs using TCP.
- Bind the IoT profile in the IoT card interface view of an AP.
  1. Run the ap-id ap-id, ap-mac ap-mac, or ap-name ap-name command to enter the AP view.
  2. Run the card card-number command to enter the IoT card interface view.
  3. Run the iot-profile profile-name config-agent tcp port port [ ext-port ext-port ] command to bind the IoT profile and configure the local port number mapping the IoT card interface.
    
    By default, no IoT profile is bound to an IoT card interface.
    
    A port number within the range from 50200 to 50202 is recommended. If another port number is used, a port conflict may occur and an alarm is generated.
    
    Telpo's host computer can connect to APs using TCP.

Verifying the Configuration

Run the display iot-profile { name profile-name | all } command to check the IoT profile configuration.
Run the display reference iot-profile name profile-name command to check reference information about the IoT profile.
