can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Access Point 3000 Overview
The Enterasys Networks Wireless Access Point 3000 is an IEEE
802.11a/b/g (RBT3K-AG & RBT3K-AG-G), or an IEEE 802.11b/g
only (RBT3K-1G), access point that provides transparent,
wireless high-speed data communications between the wired
LAN and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with an
802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter.
This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with
considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include
long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using 802.11a,
802.11b, and 802.11g technology, this access point can easily
replace a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection and provide seamless
integration into a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN.
In addition, the access point offers full network management
capabilities through an easy to configure web interface, and a
command line interface for initial configuration and
troubleshooting.
Installation
Please read the Regulatory, FCC, and specification information
before you install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000.
Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should
perform installation procedures.
Caution: Ensure that you wear the ESD (Electrical Static
Discharge) strap during the installation.
To install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000, perform the
following steps:
1. Select a site. Choose a proper place for the access point. The
best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area,
within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the
access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service
Set. Normally, the higher you place the access point, the
better the performance.
