Introduction AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Mesh Networking Mesh Networking Using the ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol (OMCP), the AP-4000/4000M/4900M supports structured Mesh networking. In a Mesh network, access points use their wireless interface as a backhaul to the rest of the network. Access points connected directly to the wired infrastructure are called “Portals;”...

Page 13: Mesh Network Configuration
• The maximum number of links downlinks from a Mesh Portal to Mesh APs in the tree is 32. Proxim recommends a maximum of 30-40 APs total per portal (whether connected directly to the Portal or to another Mesh AP) for an average per-client throughput of 300-500 Kbps.
Page 14: Guidelines For Roaming
The Access Points’ cells should overlap to ensure that there are no gaps in coverage and to ensure that the roaming client will always have a connection available. To ensure optimal AP placement, Proxim recommends having a site survey done professionally to ensure optimal performance. For professional site surveyors, Ekahau™ Site Survey software is included in the Xtras folder of the Installation CD.

ORiNOCO Enterprise MIB Proxim provides these MIB files on the CD-ROM included with each Access Point. You need to compile one or more of the above MIBs into your SNMP program’s database before you can manage an Access Point using SNMP. See the documentation that came with your SNMP manager for instructions on how to compile MIBs.

When transmitting, the AP chooses the antenna with the highest success rate, and broadcasts are transmitted on alternating antennas. Antenna diversity is enabled by default (set to “auto”) per wireless interface. When using the internal antennas, Proxim recommends leaving antenna diversity enabled. However, you may disable antenna diversity by manually selecting which antenna to use for each wireless interface through the Command Line Interface.
Page 20 With external antennas connected, you may wish to manually select a particular antenna for use. To do so, disable antenna diversity by manually selecting which antenna to use for each wireless interface through the Command Line Interface.

Page 69 Advanced Configuration AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Interfaces Transparent Mode Transparent mode is the default mode and is equivalent to the NO VLAN support. The VLAN receievs both the tagged and untagged frames from the network. Transparent mode simply forwards both the tagged and untagged frames received on the Ethernet port to WDS, Mesh or BSS and is not able to read any VLAN information.
Page 70 Advanced Configuration AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Interfaces Trunk Mode Trunk mode works as a filter. Trunk links provide VLAN identification for frames travelling between switches. Once this mode is enabled, the frames received from the WDS, Mesh or wireless ports are filtered and compared with the trunk tables entries.

Page 175: Reset
Commands AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Reset Reset Use the Reset tab to restore the AP to factory default conditions. Since this will reset the AP’s current IP address, a new IP address must be assigned. See Logging In for more information. CAUTION: Resetting the AP to its factory default configuration will permanently overwrite all changes that have made to the unit.

Commands AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Help Link Help Link Use the Help tab to configure the location of the AP Help files. During initialization, the AP on-line help files are downloaded to the default location: C:/Program Files/ORiNOCO/AP4x00x/HTML/index.htm. To enable the Help button on each page of the Web interface to access the help files, however, copy the entire Help folder to a web server, then specify the new HTTP path in the Help Link box.

Troubleshooting AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Symptoms and Solutions Symptoms and Solutions Connectivity Issues Connectivity issues include any problem that prevents you from powering up or connecting to the AP. AP Unit Will Not Boot - No LED Activity 1. Make sure your power source is operating. 2.
Page 179 Troubleshooting AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Symptoms and Solutions 2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your network’s DHCP server is not available while the AP is booting, the device will use the default IP address (169.254.128.132). Reboot the AP once your DHCP server is on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the Access Point’s current IP address.

Page 183: Recovery Procedures
Troubleshooting AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Recovery Procedures Recovery Procedures The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address, you will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP. IP Address management is fundamental. We suggest you create a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system.
Page 184 Recovery Procedures – Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI Because the CLI option requires a physical connection to the unit’s serial port, Proxim recommends the ScanTool option. Download a New Image Using ScanTool To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single computer running both programs).
Page 185 Download Procedure 1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com. 2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s default directory. 3. Use a straight-through serial cable to connect the Access Point’s serial port to your computer’s serial port.

Troubleshooting AP-4000/4000M/4900M User Guide Recovery Procedures [Device name]> reboot The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few seconds within the TFTP server’s status screen. 8. When the download process is complete, configure the AP. Setting IP Address using Serial Port Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI.
