1 Initial setup
To open the EMS GUI, run the Java Web Start application (Oracle-Java8 must be installed).
1.1 Enter the server address in the browser address bar:
192.168.50.1:8080/ems/jws
To create a shortcut opening the EMS GUI on the desktop, you must enable temporary file storage in the Java Control Panel. Run the downloaded file having .jnlp format.
When loading a page, you may need a permission to run the Java application, as shown below. Select "Do not show this again for apps from the publisher and location above" and click "Run" button so that the message does not occur again.
1.2. For authorization on EMS server, enter the username admin without a password.
1.3. After authorization, the EMS GUI will open.
The main menu and controls are located under the window title.
1.4. Perform the initial controller setup.
Go to "Administration/Server configuration/System modules" menu. Open System tab and specify:
IP address of the EMS server in the control network of the station: 192.168.50.1;
Tomcat URL: http://192.168.50.1:8080 (used for downloading files by EMS user);
Internal Tomcat URL : http://192.168.50.1:8080 (used for software updating via HTTP) ;
type of device system access: BY_DOMAIN.
Click the "tftpserver" tab and save your changes. Set the IP address for the station devices: 192.168.50.1. Click Accept and save changes you made.
Restart EMS by command sudo service eltex-ems restart or by using the "Administration/Server configuration/EMS server Restart" menu.
Create domains in the system. To do this, select Administrative Tools, then Rights and Users, and Domains. Create the root domain root and sub domains if necessary.
1.5 Add the RADIUS object to the object tree.
Click the "+" button in the Control Panel to add the object to the device tree.
In the window that appears, enter the name of the object, select the type “RADIUS” and specify the IP address. If the RADIUS server is installed locally on your server, enter 127.0.0.1.
Click Add, then the RADIUS object appears in the object tree.
Select the RADIUS object in the tree and open the Access tab, click Edit and enter the login and password to access the server. In this case :
Telnet/SSH login: tester Telnet/SSH password: tester
2 Adding Access Points
Connect the access point to the network according to the scheme. When enabled, the access point will receive a DHCP address. In order for the point to inform the controller about its presence in the network, you must configure Option 43 with 10 DHCP suboption in which IP SoftWLC will be transmitted. Then the access point will automatically appear in EMS in the Initialization of Wi-Fi AP tab.
2.1. Create initialization rules in the Wireless/Initialization Rules Manager of access points menu . Add a rule, select a device type, specify the rule name and domain.
In the initialization rule
- You need to activate the addition of the AP to the RADIUS database and to specify the password of the AP to RADIUS: 'eltex' ('key' field). Otherwise, users will not be able to perform authentication.
- To automatically update the software on the AP during initialization, select the Update to current software file flag and select the software file transfer protocol (TFTP or HTTP).
In order for the upgrade to be performed, you must download the latest software to the server before initializing the access points. To do this, use " Administration/Device firmware/Station firmware" menu. The current software can be downloaded from the official website https://eltex-co.com/catalog/enterprise_wi-fi_access_point/. For each type of access points, you should download your own software file, and you should specify the device type and subtype when downloading. Set the Make relevant flag, to update the access point to the selected firmware version when initializing.
- To restore the default configuration on the access point before adding AP to the tree, set the Restore Default Configuration flag.
- You can select a pre-created configuration template (in the menu “Wireless/Configuration Template Manager”), which will be assigned to the AP. If necessary, create a template beforehand and select it when creating an initialization rule. Alternatively, edit the rule after creating the template.
- Select the protocol for SNMP packet transmission between the access point and EMS: TCP or UDP, as well as Community field values. Click Accept button, the created rule will be displayed in the AP initialization rules manager .
2.2. Configure the binding of the access point to the initialization rule. To do this, open the Links tab.
Binding can be performed by three types of keys: MAC address of the a ccess point, access point IP address (or IP address range), 13 suboption of 43 DHCP (location) option. If you specify Device Name, the access point appears with it in the tree. If you leave the field empty, MAC address and device type will be displayed as the name. You also need to specify the name of the initialization rule to bind (click 
button at the end of the line to select from existing rules), the rule domain, and the host domain where the access in the device tree. With a complex host domain hierarchy, all the required nodes will be created.
Created mapping will be visible in the AP initialization rule manager.
2.3. To initialize an access point with the specified parameters, select the root node in the left side of the window, open the Wi-Fi AP Initialization tab on the right side of the window, select the access point and click the Initialize button.
If the Automatic Initialization flag is set in the "Administration/Server Configuration/System Modules" menu in the 'WirelessCommon' module, the initialization will be started automatically as soon as the corresponding binding is created.
Initialization process is displayed in the Tasks tab that you may open from the Applet/View/Dashboard menu or by pressing Alt+F6 hotkey. When the process is finished, access point will be shown in the tree according to the initialization rule host domain.
