STEP 3: CONNECT PC TO THE
TRANSCEIVER
Connect a PC’s Ethernet port to the
LAN
port using an Ethernet cross-
over cable. The
LAN
LED should light. Alternatively, you can use a
serial cable to connect to the
COM1
port (
Figure 2-3 on Page 27
).

STEP 4: REVIEW TRANSCEIVER
CONFIGURATION
2.5.1 Getting Started
Start by logging into the Access Point radio. This is done first because
the Remotes are dependent on the AP’s beacon signal to achieve an
“associated” state.
Once the Access Point is up and running, move the computer connection
to each of the Remote units, log-in at each unit, review their configura-
tion, set their IP addresses, Network Name, and frequency configura-
tion, then wait for each AP to achieve an associated state.
With all units associated, you will be ready to connect and test your data
services.
2.5.2 Procedure
The following is a summary of the configuration procedure that must be
done on each unit in the system. Key parameters are shown on the
Embedded Management System overview (
Figure 3-1 on Page 34)
. A
lists of parameters is located in two tables—
Table 4-5 on Page 154
and
Table 4-7 on Page 156
. Detailed information on using the Management
System can be found in
INTRODUCTION on Page 33
.
NOTE:
The Management System supports the use of “configuration
files” to help consistently configure multiple units. These are
explained in
Configuration Scripts Menu on Page 131
.
2.5.3 Basic Configuration Defaults
Table 2-1
provides a selection of key operating parameters, their range,
and default values. All of these are accessible through a terminal emu-
lator connected to the
COM1
serial port or through a Web browser con-
nected to the
LAN
port (see
Figure 5-1 on Page 163
for hookup).
NOTE:
Access to the transceiver’s Management System and changes
to all parameters requires entering a security password.
