Configuring the Access Point

Using the RoamAbout AP Console Port

1. Press the <Return> key at the terminal that is connected to the console port until the
RoamAbout Access Point Installation Menu appears. If using a computer, start the
terminal emulation program and connect to the console port.
2. To allow the AP Manager or other management tools using SNMP to remotely manage
the AP, perform the following:
a) Choose Set IP Address from the Installation Menu.
b) Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
3. Choose Module-Specific Options from the Installation Menu, then choose Set
Wireless Configuration.
4. Enter the name of the wireless network.
5. Enter a channel. If there are other APs whose coverage areas overlap, enter a channel
that is at least five channels apart from the adjacent APs, if possible.
6. Enter a station name. This name is displayed when clients run the RoamAbout Client
Utility. Each AP should have a unique station name.
7. To implement your changes, reset the AP by choosing Reset with Current Settings
from the Installation Menu. Allow approximately one minute for the AP to reset and
complete its self-test.
