4.      Select a baud rate.

 

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

·       If you use a baud rate value other than the default, you must reconnect to the configuration terminal and change its baud rate to be the same as the baud rate selected in the BootWare menu.

·       Baud rate change is a one-time operation. The baud rate will be restored to the default (9600 bps) at reboot. To set up a console session with the device after a reboot, you must change the baud rate of the configuration terminal back to 9600 bps.

 

In this example, enter 0. This option enables you to return to the BASIC-BOOTWARE menu with the default baud rate selected.

5.      Enter the mode number.

The mode takes effect immediately without an AP restart.

Converting the AP mode from the Cloudnet

1.      Set up the configuration environment as shown in Figure 17, and configure the AP to obtain an IP address through DHCP.

Make sure the following conditions are met:

¡  The AP cannot register on any AC.

¡  The AP can use the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to reach the public network.

¡  The DNS server can translate the address of the Cloudnet correctly.

Figure 17 Setting up the configuration environment

 

2.      Visit oasiscloud.h3c.com through a browser, and then enter the username and password.

3.      Add the AP to the Cloudnet.

a.    On the top navigation bar, click Network, and then select Network > Devices from the left navigation pane.

b.    Select the target branch and site from the upper left corner of the page, and then click Add.

c.    Specify the site, device name, and device serial number, and then click Add.

Figure 18 Adding a device

 

4.      Start the AP. If the AP starts up and fails to discover any AC, its operating mode will change to cloud at the first association with the Cloudnet.

5.      To manually convert the AP mode, click Network on the top navigation bar, and then select Settings > Cloud APs > Oasis Mode from the left navigation pane. Then, enable the cloud mode (oasis mode in the following figure) for the target AP.

Figure 19 Enabling the cloud mode

 

Converting the AP mode from the CLI

Access the CLI of the AP and then execute the ap-mode { anchor-ac | cloud | fit } command in system view. Then, the AP restarts for the new mode to take effect and uses the factory defaults or previously saved settings, if any, for the mode.

The CLI does not support entering a question mark (?) to display parameters of this command or using the Tab key to complete the command.
