Remotely (In-Band) - Proxim RangeLAN 802 8520 User Manual

Remotely (In-band)

The second configuration option is remote configuration across the wired network.
Note:
The RangeLAN802 Access Point is manufactured without a default IP
address. In order to telnet to the RangeLAN802 Access Point, you must first
assign it a valid IP address for your network using the null modem cable
configuration described above or a BOOTP server.
1. Connect the null modem RS-232 cable between the RangeLAN802
Access Point Local Management Port and a free serial port on your
terminal or PC.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation package for 9600 bps,
no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. If you are using a terminal
emulation package, choose TTY as the terminal type.
3. Apply power to the RangeLAN802 Access Point. During the boot
process, messages will be displayed on the terminal screen. When
they are completed and you see the "Initialization Complete"
message, press <Enter> to enter the software configuration menu.
If the unit was already turned on, you can press <Enter> to display
the menu.
1. From a wired client on your network, open a telnet session to the
RangeLAN802 Access Point. For Windows 95/98 computers,
type "telnet w.x.y.z" at a command prompt where "w.x.y.z" is the
IP address assigned to the RangeLAN802 Access Point to open a
telnet session.
2. You will be prompted for a password if you enabled this option
through the TCP/IP Configuration Menu.
3. You will enter the configuration menu.
