Introduction The Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO™ is part of a comprehensive wireless network solution. The device works in conjunction with the Ortronics Wireless Controller and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor. As a wireless Access Point (AP), the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO provides transparent, secure, high-speed data communications between wireless network devices (fixed, portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the wired...

Ortronics Wireless Controller). AP Provisioning—Provisioning provides each Ortronics AP with initial settings that allow it to locate the host Ortronics Wireless Controller. Depending on the network topology and services, AP provisioning can be performed manually for each AP or plug-and-play for batches of APs.
Wireless Controller (using the CLI or Web interface) and then uploaded to the APs. This method can be used for adding Ortronics APs to a highly customized network, or greatly simplified for the most common provisioning. Manual Provisioning—APs can be individually provisioned using a serial console terminal connected to the AP.
Software User’s Guide for more information on reprovisioning existing APs. Discovery Protocol The Discovery Protocol is a plug and play provisioning tool for Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO. The Discovery Protocol performs two tasks: Obtains the IP address of the TFTP server from which it downloads the AP boot image It discovers the IP address of the master Ortronics Wireless Controller in the network from which the AP can download its configuration.
Once these discovery prerequisites are met, the switch will respond to APs with the IP address of the Ortronics Master Wireless Protocol. The APs can then obtain their image and configuration. To enable Discovery Protocol on an Ortronics Wireless Controller, enter:...
Select the Port or Port Range for provisioning. To set the Port Range, select the first and the last ports of your range. All the ports in between are automatically selected. (Ports have to be sequentially assigned.) Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO Part OR-71601435 Rev 02 Installation Guide...

Enter the required information and click Enable.The Port Range screen displays. 2-2 Port Range Screen IGURE Plug the AP into one of the ports configured for provisioning. If your AP is already plugged into the port, unplug it and plug it in again. If AP is connected through PoE, enter poe off followed by poe on.

(Provisioned). Note Check that the configured parameters are reflected in the AP list entry. Note Ortronics recommends that you provision each AP for a unique location as suggested by site-survey planning. Label each AP with this location infor- mation and place the AP in its proper location. Failure to place APs in the location for which they were provisioned will reduce the effectiveness of such RF features as triangulation.

12 Reboot the AP so the AP will come up with the new configured parameters. Use the Reprovisioning tab for APs which are already deployed but need to be reconfigured. See the Ortronics Wireless Software User’s Guide for information on reprovisioning. Provisioning Access Points...
Manual provisioning requires this procedure. You must use the serial console breakout adapter cable to be able to access the serial console interface to the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO while allowing the device to be powered by the AC adapter or PoE (from an Ortronics Wireless Controller).
LAN connections. Select a location as close as possible to the center of the intended coverage area. If necessary, use the Ortronics RF Plan site survey tool to determine the optimum locations for your access points and air monitors. The service location should be free from obstructions or obvious sources of interference.

Cables “To AP” Specifications The RJ-45 connector labeled “To AP” attaches to the Ortronics Wi-Jack DUO User port either directly (if the AP is physically available) or indirectly (if the AP is already deployed). When connecting indirectly, use a straight-through FE coupler to attach the “To AP” connector to the FE cable leading directly to the AP’s User port with no intervening hubs, routers, or...

Radio Characteristics The Ortronics Access Point can be configured to support IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an AP, and supports both IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as an 802.11a provides a high data rate and reliable wireless connectivity.
Power over Ethernet The Ortronics Access Point supports the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet (PoE). With this feature, the Ortronics Access Point can accept electrical power from a compatible PoE-capable device (such as the Ortronics OR-WCU-5, OR-WCU-16 and OR- WCU-48) directly over the FE cable.
