  • Page 7: Fixed Antennas

    Familiarizing Yourself with the BSAP Hardware Fixed Antennas The BSAP includes two omni-directional antennas for wireless communications. The antennas support diversity whereby the signal transmitted from both antennas is identical, but only the best signal received on one of the antennas is used. The antennas transmit the outgoing signal along a horizontal plane perpendicular to the antenna (in the shape of a toroidal sphere).
  • Page 8: Power Supply Connector

    Power Supply Connector The BSAP does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to the supplied AC power adapter, and the power adapter is connected to a power source. The BSAP automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz.

    When you run a DHCP server or a DHCP relay agent on the BSC to assign IP addresses to BSAPs on the managed side, the BSC will also pass its IP address to the BSAPs automatically using vendor-specific option 43. In this way, the BSAPs will learn the home BSC to which they should connect.

    Selecting a BSAP Installation Location • DNS Server Configuration - BSAPs are factory configured with apdiscovery as the DNS hostname. You can configure a DNS server on your network with an entry for apdiscovery with the home BSC Controller IP address as the resolution.
  • Page 12: Connecting And Powering The Bsap

    Connecting and Powering the BSAP Follow these instructions to connect your BlueSecure BSAP to your Bluesocket WLAN and then power it up: Make a note of the 12-character MAC address and the serial number listed on the bottom of the BSAP before mounting the BSAP to a wall or other surface.
  • Page 13: Using The Bsap Command Line Interface (Cli)

    Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI) Note: Normally you will not need to access the BSAP CLI. In a properly provisioned Bluesocket WLAN, the BSAP will automatically discover and communicate with its home BSC. We recommend that you use the CLI to configure the BSAP only in a lab or test environment, or where a pre-defined static IP address is desired.

  • Page 15: Setting The Bsap And Home Bsc Ip Addresses Using The Cli

    Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI) The two options for IP address mode are: • (0) DHCP - The BSAP runs a DHCP client and receives its IP address from a DHCP server. • (1) Static IP - You assign the BSAP a static IP address via its CLI. The two options for WG address mode are: •...
  • Page 16 Enter 5 at the Network Cfg prompt to specify the BSC mode, i.e. how the BSAP is to obtain the IP address of its home BSC. You can set the BSC mode to either Discover or Static BSC. Enter 1 to set the BSC mode to Static BSC. Enter 6 at the Network Cfg prompt to specify the IP address of the BSAP’s home BSC.
