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
Remotely across dial-up modems
Remotely across the network using an SNMP management package
Remotely across the network via a Web browser
Locally (Out-of-band)
You may use the DB-9 Local Management Port on the back of the Access Point to
configure the unit. To locally configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point, you need a null
modem RS-232 cable with a nine pine female connector on the Access Point side and a
terminal or PC with an available serial port running a terminal application package.
Note:
If you use a terminal application that has the option to check for the CD signal
before establishing a connection, configure the software to ignore CD.
Alternatively, verify that your null modem cable is a full handshake cable and
pulls CD high.
