Configuring APs in an Infrastructure Network
After installing the AP, you can configure its network and wireless parameters using the
AP Manager, the console port, or the R2 Web Management. To configure the RoamAbout
R2 for management by an NMS using SNMPv2 or SNMPv1, see
SNMPv1 or SNMPv2" on page
Required Information
When configuring an AP, have the following information available:
If the AP has been configured with an IP address, you need to know that IP address. If
the AP has not been assigned an IP address, you need the following:
— The AP wired MAC address, which is printed on the front of the Access Point
2000 and on the side of the RoamAbout R2.
— Valid, unused IP address. Depending on your network configuration, you may
also need to provide the subnet mask and default gateway.
The AP SNMP read/write community name (default is public). If you do not enter the
correct community name, you cannot modify the AP or add it to an AP Manager group.
For a RoamAbout R2, the SNMPv3 Authentication and Privacy Passwords (default for
both is password).
Identification information, such as a unique name for the AP, its location, and the name
of the person responsible for the AP.
Wireless Parameters Used in an Infrastructure Network
If adding APs to an existing wireless network, write down the wireless parameter settings.
If creating a wireless infrastructure network, you can enter the Channel, Wireless Network
Name, and Station Name, and use the default settings for the other parameters. The
following describes the settings used in an infrastructure network:
Slot 1/Slot 2: (RoamAbout R2 only): Select the slot to be configured.
Channel: Set adjacent APs to different channels that are at least five channels apart if
possible. See
Wireless network name: The wireless network name can be any alphanumeric string
(uppercase and lowercase) with a maximum of 32 characters. Spaces are allowed. The
name is case-sensitive. An example of a wireless network name is:
My RoamAbout NETWORK 2
5-29.
