CONFIGURATION OF THE ACCESS POINT MODULES
In all cases, for configuration changes to take effect, the operator must
1. Make the configuration change or changes on a module's web page.
2. Save the configuration change or changes, using the Save button.
3. Reboot the module, using the Reboot button.
The configuration changes don't take effect until the module is rebooted.
The are two methods that can be used to configure each of the Access Point modules. The first
method is to use the Quick Start feature of the product. For more information on Quick Start see
The Interface Screens. The second is to manually set each of the parameters.
The Access Point module, from the factory, is configured to not transmit on any frequency. This is
done so that an operator does not accidentally turn on an unsynchronized Access Point module.
An operator will need to verify the following information:
•
Will the Access Point module need to generate its own sync pulse or will it receive it
from the Cluster Management Module?
•
The operator will assign a RF frequency for the module to transmit.
•
The operator may assign value for uplink and downlink bandwidth capping. If the
Access Point module is in a cluster with other modules then this parameters on all
units must be set exactly the same.
•
The operator will assign an IP address to the module for the network it will be installed
on and assign an appropriate subnet mask and network gateway.
