Ethernet Installation
The RangeLAN802 Access Point is attached to the wired LAN backbone via an
Ethernet cable. Two types of Ethernet connection are supported: 10BASE-T and
10BASE2.
10BASE-T Cabling
The RangeLAN802 Access Point 10BASE-T cable is typically connected between the
device and a 10BASE-T hub or wiring rack. It will use the same cable that would
otherwise be plugged into a 10BASE-T workstation on the Ethernet LAN. If you are
using a functional cable, the LED nearest the connector will light. Standard 10BASE-T
specifications apply to the 10BASE-T interface of the RangeLAN802 Access Point.
No segment can exceed 100 meters.
10BASE2 Cabling
When using 10BASE2 cabling with the RangeLAN802 Access Point, the cable must be
properly terminated on each end. Standard 10BASE2 specifications apply to the
10BASE2 interface of the RangeLAN802 Access Point. Each coax cable segment can
support up to 30 devices and the cable itself cannot exceed 185 meters.
Antenna Options
The RangeLAN802 Access Point is shipped with a standard directly-connected antenna.
To install the antenna, screw it clockwise onto the antenna connector. Proxim sells
several antenna alternatives including higher gain and directional antennas. Each of
these antennas ships with installation and mounting instructions. For information on
additional antenna options, please contact your Proxim Sales Representative.
