Initialization
Proxim provides two tools to simplify the initialization and configuration of an AP-600:
•
ScanTool
•
Setup Wizard
ScanTool is included on the ORiNOCO CD; the Setup Wizard launches automatically the first time you access the
HTTP interface.

These initialization instructions describe how to configure an AP-600 over an Ethernet connection using
ScanTool and the HTTP interface. If you want to configure the unit over the serial port, see
using Serial Port and Normal CLI
Command Line Interface (CLI)
ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. The tool automatically detects the
Access Points installed on your network, regardless of IP address, and lets you configure each unit's IP settings. In
addition, you can use ScanTool to download new software to an AP-600 that does not have a valid software image
installed (see
Client Connection
To access the HTTP interface and configure the AP-600, the AP-600 must be assigned an IP address that is valid on
its Ethernet network. By default, the AP-600 is configured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your network contains a DHCP server, you can
run ScanTool to find out what IP address the AP-600 has been assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP
server, the Access Point's IP address defaults to 169.254.128.132. In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign the
AP-600 a static IP address that is valid on your network.
ScanTool Instructions
Follow these steps to install ScanTool, initialize the Access Point, and perform initial configuration:
1. Locate the unit's Ethernet MAC address and write it down for future reference. The MAC address is printed on the
product label. Each unit has a unique MAC address, which is assigned at the factory.
2. Confirm that the AP-600 is connected to the same LAN subnet as the computer that you will use to configure the
AP-600.
3. Power up, reboot, or reset the AP-600.
–
Result: The unit requests an IP Address from the network DHCP server.
4. Insert the ORiNOCO CD into the CD-ROM drive of the computer that you will use to configure the AP-600.
–
Result: The installation program will launch automatically.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Access Point software and documentation.

•
Windows 2000
•
Windows ME
•
Windows XP
6. After the software has been installed, double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the
program.
–
Result: ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected ORiNOCO Access Points. The ScanTool's Scan
List screen appears, as shown in the following example.
