  • Page 16: Installation

    Antenna Options The RangeLAN2 Access Point is shipped with a standard directly-connected antenna. To install the antenna, screw it clockwise onto the antenna connector. Proxim sells several antenna alternatives including higher gain and directional antennas. Each of these antennas ships with installation and mounting instructions. For information on additional antenna options, please contact your Proxim Sales Representative.

  • Page 20: Wireless Topologies

    4. Wireless Topologies RangeLAN2 products look and operate similar to Ethernet products. The only difference is that a radio replaces the wire between various nodes. This means that all of your existing applications that operate over Ethernet will work with RangeLAN2 without any special wireless networking software.

  • Page 21: Infrastructure

    Infrastructure Many companies have an existing Ethernet or wired LAN infrastructure and want to be able to extend that capability to wireless nodes. This is accomplished by attaching an Access Point to the wired LAN. This allows the wireless clients to access the network re- sources.

In addition, the overlapping cells offer redundancy of coverage required in networks where downtime is not tolerated.

  • Page 24 See the previous illustrations for examples of networks set up with RangeLAN2 roaming domains. Many more network configurations exist. Proxim’s diverse line of RangeLAN2 products allows you to customize your wireless configuration to meet your specific networking needs.

  • Page 25: Guidelines For Roaming

    Guidelines for Roaming Roaming occurs between RangeLAN2 Access Points and Extension Points. It does not occur between RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapters or RangeLAN2 7100 ISA cards that are installed in network file servers. All RangeLAN2 Access Points must have the same Domain and Security ID. All RangeLAN2 Access Points have a unique Channel/Subchannel pair.

    Master (repeating) Figure 9 Repeating Building to Building Configuration Two Access Points can be used to connect LANs in separate buildings. Here are some guidelines: The antennas should be placed so they are line of sight for best range. In many cases, they will be placed on rooftops.

  • Page 28: Configuration

    5. Configuration You need to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point if: There is more than one RangeLAN2 Access Point on this network, for example in a roaming environment You need to change the software default values, including IP addresses You want to set security IDs on your network There are five ways to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point: Locally via a null modem cable and a terminal or terminal emulation package Remotely across the network using a telnet session...

  • Page 29: Remotely (In-Band)

    1. Connect the null modem RS-232 cable between the RangeLAN2 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 N81 opera- tion. If you are using a terminal emulation package, choose TTY as the termi- nal type.

  • Page 30: Modem Support (Rangelan2 752X Only)

    Modem Support (RangeLAN2 752x Only) The RangeLAN2 752x Access Point may be remotely configured via a dial-up modem. To allow for this type of configuration: 1. Configure the modem from a terminal or terminal emulation program at 9600 bps. 2. Issue the following commands to the modem: (Auto-answer after 1 ring) ATS0=1 (Ignore DTR)

  • Page 34: Tcp/Ip Configuration Menu

    TCP/IP Configuration Menu Use this option to change the TCP/IP parameters of the RangeLAN2 Access Point. t l u t l u t n i IP Address indicates the IP address that will be assigned to the RangeLAN2 Access Point. It must be a unique number on the network. This parameter will not change until the Access Point is reset.

  • Page 35: Filter Configuration Menu

    If a packet is destined for an IP host or node belongs to a different IP subnet, the RangeLAN2 Access Point will send IP packets to the Default Gateway (usually a router) for the packets to be routed to the proper destination. This parameter will not change until the Access Point is reset.
  • Page 37 The Fixed Nodes Filter will prevent traffic which is destined to a non-broadcast, non- multicast, non-RangeLAN2 address from being forwarded from Ethernet to wireless. DO NOT use this filter when using the node address overwrite feature on RangeLAN2 stations. The Protocol Type Filters prevent traffic of a particular protocol type from being forwarded from Ethernet to RangeLAN2.

  • Page 38: Bridge Configuration Menu

    Bridge Configuration Menu t l u t n i The Aging Period parameter specifies the time after which the learned physical address of the network node, which is stored in the Forwarding Database, is discarded. This data is dynamically acquired by the RangeLAN2 Access Point so that it can forward packets properly.
  • Page 39 Error Domain, which is Domain 13 by default, and the Status LED will blink yellow. This Domain change will force all RangeLAN2 Stations to lose synchronization to the Access Point, allowing the Stations to seek out another Access Point still configured to the appropriate Domain and reestablish network connectivity.

  • Page 41 This option allows you to change the various wireless parameters. Radio Port Administrative Status, when disabled, temporarily prohibits the Access Point from sending or receiving any packets over its radio. This parameter is automati- cally returned to Enabled when either the radio or the Access Point is reset. This param- eter is primarily included for customer who intend to manage the Access Point using SNMP.
  • Page 42 The Subchannel is just a software code that is appended to each radio packet. It does not affect the frequency hopping sequence like a Channel does. Use a Subchannel if you need more than 15 Masters in the same coverage area and, therefore, all the Chan- nels are used.
  • Page 43 work is configured to operate on Domain 13, change the Error Domain parameter to another Domain number between 0 and 15 that is not in use. You may enable or disable the ability for the RangeLAN2 Access Point to repeat signals coming from one Station and destined for another Station.
  • Page 44 The MAC Optimize parameter can help improve throughput for small networks. The default setting of Auto causes the RangeLAN2 Access Point to determine the number of units synchronized to it and adjust this parameter accordingly. If you have 0 or 1 wire- less node communicating with a RangeLAN2 Access Point, set this parameter to Very Light.

  • Page 45: Authorization Table

    This menu is only visible on the 752x Access Point. This feature allows you to upload the current configuration of each Access Point on the network to a file on an FTP server. A member of the Proxim Technical Support Department may ask you to create this file for troubleshooting purposes.

    The Read/Write SNMP Community parameter specifies the a community supported by the RangeLAN2 Access Point. Actions permitted by this commu- nity are “read-write” (GET, GET-NEXT, and SET). The Read/Write SNMP Manager IP Address specifies the IP address of the SNMP manager which is permitted to use the Read/Write SNMP Community. An address of 0.0.0.0 indicates any manager may use the community.

    The site survey tool was developed to aid in this process. Additionally, Proxim has developed some guidelines to estimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in their facility, but there are no hard and fast specifications.
  • Page 67 Proper antenna placement can help improve range. Here are some guidelines: The antenna should be placed so that it emits its signal in the appropriate direc- tion. For example, the standard antenna shipped with the unit should be mounted vertically. Higher gain omnidirectional antennas may be mounted upside down to the ceiling or a beam.

  • Page 68: Site Survey And Master Search Tool

    13. Site Survey and Master Search Tool The RangeLAN2 752x Access Point has two mechanisms to determine proper place- ment of radios and antennas: a site survey tool which displays the quality of the wireless link between the Access Points and wireless clients (or other Access Points); and a Master search tool which displays information on all visible Masters.
