Mobility Express - 1852 & 1832 APs

[Mahmoud Bakri]

Hello guys ,

I have 1 AP 1852i and another AP 1832i :

I want to make sure if we can do the following:

1-I will download the 1852i ME OS as well as the 1832i ME OS ( same versions).

2-Install both OS on each AP.

3-Connect the 1852i to my switch 2960 which will be my dhcp server.

4-I will setup my 1852i as controller ( defining all parameters , SSIDs, .... )

I need to know if the above steps are correct and would the next step be just connecting in the 1832i to my switch and it will automatically detect all settings ?

Regards , 

Mahmoud

Great website , 
Thank you Sandeep

I still need someone to help me in downloading the ME software image for 1852I access point ?

Could you help with the above ??

You need to have valid service contract to download the Mobility express SW.

Here is the link:

If you dont have the valid contract then ask with your supplier, he may help you.

One more question ,
Have you tested if sessions are dropped/interrupted during transitions between access points ?
I have a critical application , session should not be dropeed

Thanks in advance.

No did not test it because I have only one AP.

You can test it before going live, as you have 2 APs.
