(1) The SmartPath AP initially forms a
CAPWAP connection with
SmartPath.blackbox.com.
(2) When the online server discovers an
entry for the SmartPath AP assigning it to
VSPM-1, it redirects the SmartPath AP to
that VSPM.
(3) When you log in to
SmartPath.blackbox.com
VSPM-1, you can see the
SmartPath AP listed on the
Monitor > Access Points >
SmartPath APs page.

If the SmartPath AP MAC address or serial number is in Smartpath.blackbox.com, but not yet assigned to the VHM, the
SmartPath AP that forms a CAPWAP connection with Smartpath.blackbox.com remains connected to it. If the SmartPath AP MAC
address or serialnumber is not in Smartpath.blackbox.com, then Smartpath.blackbox.com does not respond to the CAPWAP
connection attempts from that SmartPath AP. For details about the initial CAPWAP connection process, see "How SmartPath APs
Connect to SmartPath EMS VMA" in Section 8.4.
SmartPath Virtual Appliance
SmartPath Virtual Appliance (SmartPath EMS VMA) is similar to a physical appliance except that it is available as VMware that you
load onto a computer of your choice. SmartPath EMS VMA ships as VMware on a CD.
You must first install a VMware product such as VMware Workstation or VMware Player on your computer. Then install SmartPath
EMS VMA on the VMware workstation or player, where it runs like a virtual server inside your computer. SmartPath EMS VMA
forms a virtual Layer 2 connection to your computer—much as if the two were connected by a layer 2 switch internally—and
shares the Ethernet connection with your computer.
NOTE: You can find full installation instructions on the SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance QuickStart, which is also included on
the CD.
