Initial Configuration
Initial Configuration Steps
Setting the Country Code – Regulations for wireless products differ from country to
country. Setting the country code restricts the wireless bridge to use only the radio
channels and power settings permitted in the specified country of operation. If the
wireless bridge unit is shipped with a preset country code, you are not permitted to
change it, as required by country regulations. If the unit is set to the default "99," you
must set the country code to the country of operation.
At the Exec prompt, type "country ?" to display the list of country codes. Check the
code for your country, then enter the country command again followed by your
country code (e.g., IE for Ireland).
Dual Outdoor#country ie
Dual Outdoor#
Setting the IP Address – By default, the wireless bridge is configured to obtain IP
address settings from a DHCP server. You may also use the CLI to assign an IP
address that is compatible with your network.
Type "configure" to enter configuration mode, then type "interface ethernet" to
access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.
Dual Outdoor#configure
Dual Outdoor(config)#interface ethernet
Dual Outdoor(config-if)#
First type "no dhcp" to disable DHCP client mode. Then type "ip address ip-address
netmask gateway," where "ip-address" is the wireless bridge's IP address, "netmask"
is the network mask for the network, and "gateway" is the default gateway router.
Check with your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is compatible with
your network.
Dual Outdoor(if-ethernet)#no ip dhcp
Dual Outdoor(if-ethernet)#ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0
192.168.2.254
Dual Outdoor(if-ethernet)#
After configuring the wireless bridge's IP parameters, you can access the
management interface from anywhere within the attached network. The command
line interface can also be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the
network.
