Digital Conguration

1. Digital conguration is done by means of the radio’s built in browser interface. The unit should be

powered on and connected at least temporarily to a network containing a computer that can run a

conventional web browser.

2. Using your web browser, connect to the radio as described in the Quick Start Guide found earlier

in this manual.

3. The initial page after a successful login is “Quick Set.” The content of this page is somewhat dif-

ferent for the AW58100HTA Access Point and for the AW58100HTS Subscriber Unit.

4. Each page provides a menu on the left to navigate from section to section. The menu looks like this

when its sections are expanded:

Beware that certain actions may cause the web page to freeze. In most cases, this is because you are

viewing a browser-cached version of the page and not the live one from the radio. Clear your browser

cache and/or logout and log back in to recover. You are cautioned not to use the “back” button on

your browser to attempt to move back to earlier pages. If you do, you will be logged out and will

need to login again.

In the upper right of the page is a label that tells you the version of the web interface. If the ver-

sion number is not the same as shown below, you might want to visit www.avalanwireless.com (the

Downloads page under the Support menu) to see if a newer version of this manual exists before pro-

ceeding further.

Changing The Configuration - Step by Step

Please be aware that if you change the IP Address or User Password and forget their new values, you

have locked yourself out of the browser interface. The AW58100 runs self-diagnostics at boot-up and

will auto-correct most system conguration errors. Prior to calling technical support, it is recom-

mended to power cycle the radio and conrm that the problem remains.

In the event of a lost IP address, reboot the AW58100 to create a temporary IP address of 192.168.88.88

that can be used to access the radio to reset the user-dened IP address. This IP address expires after

3 minutes from reboot. In the event of a lost password, please contact AvaLAN technical support for

assistance.

If you are changing parameters over the RF link (we do not recommend this), be sure to make the re-

mote changes rst because the link will be broken if the network name or Security Keys do not agree.

1. Setting the IP Address and Subnet Mask, Gateway and Device Name:

• In the upper right area of the Quick Set page are the data entry boxes for these parameters.

They contain the current values.

• A special notation is used for the IP Address and Subnet Mask: Use /x at the end of the

IP Address to specify the subnet mask: /8 for 255.0.0.0, /16 for 255.255.0.0 and /24 for

255.255.255.0. Enter a new IP Address and subnet making sure you will be able to browse to

the new address with your computer. Also, make sure that the new IP address is unique on your

LAN.

• The Gateway address should be specied if it is necessary to communicate with the radio

through the Gateway. Your system administrator should have this value.

• The Device Name is an arbitrary string and simply allows you to attach a human-friendly name

to this specic radio.

• Click “Apply Conguration” when you have entered new values. Nothing appears to happen, but

you have been disconnected and will need to browse to the new IP Address to login again.

2. Setting the User Password:

• On the Main Menu at the left side of the browser window, click “System”, then click

“Password.”

• Enter the old password and the new password twice in the boxes indicated.

• Click the “Change” button.

• Log out and log back in to test.

3. Setting the Frequency, Network name and Encryption Key:

• To set the Frequency, log in to the Access Point and on the quick start page a selection can be

made.

• The Network name is an arbitrary character string that must be set alike in all linked radios.

• The encryption key is a user specied character string.

After conguring your AvaLAN radios and establishing links among them, you can use the browser

interface to view status and troubleshooting Information. The initial “Quick Set” page will show

whether the wireless link is operating and the current signal strength. For more comprehensive infor-

mation, choose “Wireless” from the Main Menu at the left side of the window. The “Wireless” page

leads to most of the useful status information.

The table on the Interfaces tab provides a list of the interface processes running in this radio. If it is

a Subscriber Unit, there will be only one, “Wireless_Radio.” If it is an Access Point, there will also be

a WDS process running for each Subscriber Unit that is connected. These very long rows summarize

the conguration details and current running status of the radio. You can click and drag in the heading

row of the table to change the column width if part of the data is not visible.

Physical Setup

1. Mount each unit securely using the mounting brackets provided or other means as necessary.

Maximize lightning resistance by providing a strong DC ground connection to the metal housing.

A. Assemble both bracket arms using the Rotator

Bolt, a Large Lock Washer and the Hex Nut. Leave the

bracket loose enough to rotate.

B. Use one of the following methods, or other

methods necessary to seccure the bracket.

Wide Pole Mounting: Place the pole between the

two large wedges of Bracket Arm A and the Pole

Clamp Bar. Use the two Clamp Bolts to bind the bar

and bracket to the pole. Use Large Washers and Lock

Washers if needed. Leave the clamp loose enough to

rotate.

Narrow Pole Mounting: Place the pole between the

large wedge of the Bracket Arm A and the small

wedge on the reversed side of the Pole Clamp Bar.

Use the two Clamp Bolts to bind the bar and bracket

to the pole. Use Large Washers and Lock Washers if

needed. Leave the clamp loose enough to rotate.

Wall Mounting: Hold Bracket Arm A ush against

the wall then drill four holes of roughly 3/16 inch

diameter using the four corner holes of bracket as a

measuring guide. If mounting on wood, simply use the

Wall Mounting Screws to secure the bracket through

its four corner holes and those that you have drilled.

If mounting on drywall press Drywall Anchors into the

drill-holes then do the same but instead screw into

the anchors.

C. Adjust the bracket apparatus so the square face of

Bracket Arm B faces the direction of the device your

radio will be communicating with. Then using a ½

inch wrench fully tighten all applicable components.

AW58100HTA, HTS User’s Manual

PAGE 10

Technical Support (650) 384-0000 www.avalanwireless.com

D. Use a large Phillips head screwdriver to mount

your radio to Bracket Arm B using the four Radio

Mounting Screws. Use small washers and lock washers

if necessary. Make sure that the orientation arrow on

the back of the panel antenna faces upward so that

the drainage hole is at the bottom of the radio.

E. Assemble the cable gland on the end of your RJ45

Ethernet cable(not provided). Then connect the

cable to your radio’s Ethernet port, and fasten the

gland. The gland must be fully tightened to provide a

waterproof seal.

2. The AW58100HTS units have dual directional at panel antennas. It is important that the

AW58100HTS antennas be pointed toward their Access Point AW58100HTA. Care should be taken to

align the AW58100HTS panel antenna to provide the best performance. The HTS antenna performs

best when the panel’s face is aligned toward its partner. By browsing to the Access Point radio, you

can see a graphical representation of signal strength received from each linked Subscriber Unit. Click

the row in the table to display the graph for that particular unit. This information can be used to

facilitate the aiming process.

3. Power is provided to the units by means of their Ethernet cables, allowing the power supplies to

be located at convenient locations. The included power-over-Ethernet injectors (POE) provide the

means for adding DC power to unused wires in the cable. Each radio is provided with a cable clamping

device that allows an RJ45 plug on the cable to pass through and can be tightened down around the

cable to provide a weatherproof seal.
