Configuration; Locally (Out-Of-Band) - Proxim RangeLAN 802 8520 User Manual

Table of Contents

You need to configure the RangeLAN802 Access Point if:

There is more than one RangeLAN802 Access Point on this network, for example

in a roaming environment;

You need to change the software default values, including IP address;

You want to set ESSID on your network; or

You want to enable Security and set an Encryption Key on your network.

There are five ways to configure the RangeLAN802 Access Point:

Locally via a null modem cable and a terminal or terminal emulation package;

Remotely across the network using a telnet session;

Remotely across dial-up modems;

Remotely across the network using an SNMP management package; and

Remotely across the network via a Web browser.

You may use the DB-9 Local Management Port on the back of the Access Point to configure

the unit. To locally configure the RangeLAN802 Access Point, you need a null modem RS-

232 cable with a nine pin female connector on the Access Point side and a terminal or

PC with an available serial port running a terminal application package.

Note:

If you use a terminal application that has the option to check for the CD

(Carrier Detect) signal before establishing a connection, configure the

software to ignore CD. Alternatively, verify that your null modem cable is a

full handshake cable and pulls CD high.
