This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g technology, this access point can easily replace a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection and provide seamless integration into a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN. In addition, the access point offers full network management capabilities through an easy to configure web interface, and a command line interface for initial configuration and troubleshooting. Installation Please read the Regulatory, FCC, and specification information before you install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000. Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures. Caution: Ensure that you wear the ESD (Electrical Static Discharge) strap during the installation. To install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000, perform the following steps:
1. Select a site. Choose a proper place for the access point. The best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service Set. Normally, the higher you place the access point, the better the performance. 1 2 3 4 2. Mount the access point. The access point can be mounted on any horizontal surface or wall. a. Mounting on a horizontal surface. To keep the access point from sliding on the surface, attach the four rubber feet provided in the accessory kit to the embossed circles on the bottom of the access point. b. Mounting on a wall. Locate at least two mounting holes/slots on the mounting bracket that line up with a wall stud. Use two screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall stud. Use plastic anchors, or self-anchoring screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wallboard. Then, slide the access point down onto the screws until the screws are secure. 3. Lock the access point in place to prevent unauthorized removal of the access point. You can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access point to a fixed object. 4. Connect the Ethernet cable. The access point can be wired to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a network device, such as a hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ-45 port on the back panel with category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. When the access point and the connected device are powered on, the Ethernet Link LED should light indicating a valid network connection. LOCK CONSOLE POE IN DC 5V/3A Note: The RJ-45 port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use straight-through cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports, and crossover cable for network connections to PCs, servers or other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto-MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable. 5. Connect the console port. Connect the console cable
(included) to the RS-232 console port to access the command-line interface. LOCK CONSOLE POE IN DC 5V/3A 6. Connect the power adapter to the access point, and the power cord to an AC power outlet. Otherwise, the access point can derive its operating power directly from the RJ-45 port when connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE). Caution: Use ONLY the power adapter supplied with this access point. Otherwise, the product may be damaged. LOCK CONSOLE POE IN DC 5V/3A 7. Observe the self test. When you power on the access point, verify that the PWR indicator stops flashing and remains on, and that the other indicators start functioning. If the PWR LED does not stop flashing, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide for troubleshooting information. 8. Position the antennas.The antennas emit signals along a plane perpendicular to the antenna (with the propagation pattern shaped as a toroidal sphere), and provide more effective coverage when positioned along different axes. For example, you might position the antennas 45 to 90 degrees from each other. Accessing the Configuration Screens The Enterasys Networks Access Point 3000 includes a web-based interface and a direct connection to the console port for management. You can also manage the Access Point 3000 using Enterasys Networks NetSight. Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide for complete information. Initial Setup Using the Console Port To connect to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the access point. 3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or 2). Set the data rate to 9600 baud. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF WIRELESS NETWORKING Access Point 3000 Quick Start Set the flow control to none. Set the emulation mode to VT100. When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows keys. Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, make sure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminals VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service packs. 4. Once you have set up the terminal correctly, press the
[Enter] key to initiate the console connection. The console login screen is displayed. 5. Log in by entering admin for the user name and password for the password. Accessing Web Management To access the Access Point web management, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the default IP address: http://192.168.1.1 in your browser window. 2. Enter the username admin and the password password, and click on LOGIN. Using NetSight To use NetSight, refer to the documentation that shipped with the software.
