1
00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:08.100
Start with a configured controller, a directly connected access point, and a wireless-capable host.

2
00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:19.250
Check that the wireless network is enabled before connecting a client.

3
00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:31.950
Select the host and open its WLAN Client settings in Properties.

4
00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:42.850
Saving client settings does not guarantee that the wireless connection succeeded.

5
00:00:47.550 --> 00:00:54.050
Enter the matching network name and key, then apply the changes.

6
00:01:00.350 --> 00:01:07.850
Verify the client and its serving access point in the controller's Monitoring page.

7
00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:13.450
An unavailable signal value is not a zero-strength measurement.

8
00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:27.150
A wireless association still needs a valid IP address and route to carry traffic.

9
00:01:28.100 --> 00:01:34.100
Test the connection by sending traffic to the lab gateway.

10
00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:43.600
Run arp dash a to see the gateway's IP address and MAC address on eth zero.

11
00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:57.200
Enable the teaching radio model when you want distance to affect wireless connectivity.

12
00:01:57.250 --> 00:02:05.250
These radio settings apply to the lab, including its wireless clients and access points.

13
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:15.750
The displayed signal is modelled for this lab and is not a hardware measurement.

14
00:02:24.700 --> 00:02:31.700
Moving the client beyond the configured range can disconnect its wireless path.

15
00:02:36.850 --> 00:02:44.350
The wireless ping fails while the wired control still reaches its own gateway.

16
00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:54.250
Move the client back into range and verify that connectivity returns.

17
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.900
Zooming and panning change your view, rather than the modelled distance.

18
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.400
Disabling distance and signal returns this lab to its supported non-distance behaviour.

19
00:03:28.100 --> 00:03:35.600
Reopen the lab to confirm the saved settings and check the connection again.
