  • Page 9: Before You Start

    The purpose of this User’s Guide is to allow you to install and configure your Access Point, so that an end node or another Access Point (acting as a Repeater) will be able to register to it. For detailed installation and configuration procedures, see the AP1000-T/AP2000-T Technical Reference Manual .

  • Page 10: Understanding The Radio Network

    Radio Node - A PC, notebook computer, etc. containing a Wireless LAN ISA, MCA card or PCMCIA Adapter. End Node - A Radio Node that is at the end of the RF Network Tree. Understanding the Radio Network Advanced Radio Local Area Network (ARLAN) is designed like an upside-down tree, with a Root Unit at the top and repeaters and Radio nodes branching down and out from the Root as shown in the figure below.
  • Page 11 Optional long range antennas are shown below; a range of 6 miles can be achieved with the 900MHz Yagi and 4 Miles with the 2.4GHz Yagi.

  • Page 12: Installing The Hardware

    Installing the Hardware With the unit powered off, attach the RP-TNC antenna to the antenna connector. Do not over-tighten when connecting, finger-tight is sufficient. Once connected, make sure the antenna is positioned vertically to achieve an omni-directional pattern. Attach the console port cable to the EIA-232-E port and the other end of the cable to the serial port on a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.
  • Page 13 If using STP cabling: The Access Point supports STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cabling. Once you have connected the Token Ring Cabling, you will have to go to the Configuration-Tokenring-Speed to set the ring speed, and Configuration-Tokenring-Active-On to allow the Access Point to enter the ring.
  • Page 14 Insert the small plug on the end of the AC/DC Power Pack Cord into the 12-18VDC port, then plug the AC/DC power pack into an electrical outlet. Power-on the Aironet Wireless Access Point by pushing the ON button. When power is initially applied to the Access Point, all three Indicators will flash yellow, red and then green, in sequence, to test the functionality of the Indicators.

  • Page 15: Configuring The Access Point

    Configuring the Access Point To configure the Access Point so that it will communicate with end nodes or Repeaters, you must first use the Console Port to set the following parameters - SID, Frequency or Datarate, Root Mode. If you choose to set an IP address, remote access to the unit is possible via Telnet or HTML browser.

  • Page 16: System Identifier (Sid)

    HEX number not exceeding 6 digits, or select random if you want the Access Point to pick the SID. Bitrate/Frequency (2000 Series/2.4 GHz Models) The bit rate and frequency must match those of other nodes on the RF network. The default bit rate is the highest available, and the default frequency is the center frequency.

  • Page 17: Channel (1000 Series/900Mhz Models)

    Channel (1000 Series/900MHz Models) The channel must match that of other nodes on the RF network. The default channel is the center frequency with the highest data rate. Since each channel is matched to a bit rate, changing the channel will also change the bit rate. Type Channel and then type the applicable channel from the choices shown.
