Installation Practice

Wireless LAN systems need a little more planning than conventional wired LANs. This is because

the access point relies on the propagation of radio signals, which are sometimes greatly affected

by a range of factors including:-

• building materials,

• thickness and type of walls,

• proximity of metal,

• proximity of radar and other high power transmitters

• relative positions and characteristics of client devices.

Do I Need A Site Survey ?

If you are uncertain about the characteristics of an intended location for a wireless LAN system,

then it is advisable to obtain a professional site survey. This will provide a report on the current

radio environment and may also make recommendations about the location of access points.

It is possible to conduct your own informal site survey using the software tools provided on some

client WLAN cards. This is achieved by fitting the appropriate client card into the PC,

commissioning and installing the Access Point in the intended position and then moving the PC

around the intended area. Whilst this is not a scientific method, it does provide a quick method of

determining the likely coverage of an area by observing the relative signal strength.

Note that radio environments may change due to new radars, transmitters, access points and

scientific instrumentation being installed near the access point. This means that further site surveys

may be needed in the future to assist in problem diagnosis.

Location Guidelines

a) Ensure that the number of barriers between the access point and client devices are kept to

the absolute minimum. In an ideal environment, there should be “line-of-sight” between the

access point and the client devices.

b) If the access point and clients are separated by walls, then ensure that the wall is relatively

thin and constructed of a material that is of high radio transparency (not steel or re-inforced

concrete etc).

c) If walls separate the client and the access point, then ensure that the wireless devices are

perpendicular to the walls. This reduces the apparent depth of the wall compared with the

signals needing to pass through a wall at an angle.

d) Reduce the distances between the access point and the client devices to maintain high

signal strengths. This will keep the data transfer rates achieved over the wireless links to

the highest possible levels.

e) Consider the availability of power for the access point. If power is not available, then the DC

Power Injector Model 0-15910710-x can be used to inject power for the access point into

the Ethernet cable at the equipment room. This option enables easy remote powering of

distant access points.

WLAN Security

Wireless access points are potentially a security risk to a network if no precautions are taken.

However as with any network, simple precautions can greatly increase the security of a network to

create a highly secure environment. These precautions include:-

1. Change the default SSID setting and password (see pages 22 and 26).

2. Hide the SSID value (see page 24)

3. Implement an 802.1x authentication scheme if at all possible (see page 25).

4. If 802.1x cannot be implemented:-

a. Use the integrated WEP encryption at the highest possible key values and change

the keys on a regular basis (page 24).

b. Use the MAC address based filters (page 21)

5. Place access points on inner walls of a building and use the lowest possible transmit power

settings (see page 23).

Wireless Access Point Model 0-1591700-x User Manual Page 8 of 33

Access Point Ports

The access point has all the physical connections located on the right hand side panel. These

connections are:-

Figure 1 - Access Point Side Panel

DC In

This is a 3.5mm coaxial format jack socket that accepts +12v DC for locally powering the access

point. Ensure that the correct polarity and voltage range is applied.

LAN

This RJ-45 connector is the auto-sensing 10/100Mbps Ethernet circuit that will be connected to the

local switch or other LAN element. For installation, this port is connected to the configuring PC

using the supplied cable. This port is not Auto-MDI/MDI-X and so the correct type of cable is

needed. This port can also be used for powering the access point by the application of +48v DC on

the spare pairs of the structured wiring. See page 32 for details.

RS232

This 9W D-Type connector is the 9600bps serial console link that can be used during configuration

and maintenance activities. The console system uses a command line interface.

Reset

This push-button switch is used to force a factory default reset of the access point. See page 32.

LED Indicators

The access point has 4 LED indicators on the front surface of the unit.

Indicator Function

Power Lights when there is suitable DC power on either the DC In port or on the

RJ-45 Ethernet LAN cable.

LAN Flashes when data is transmitted on the 10/100M Ethernet LAN port

A Flashes when data is transmitted on the 802.11a band radio

B/G Flashes when data is transmitted on the 802.11b/g band radio

Note that even if there are no wireless clients associated with the access point, the A and the B/G

LEDs will flash when the access point transmits a beacon frame. See page 23 for details.

Wall Mounting the Access Point

Figure 2 - Rear Panel

The access point is supplied with a desk-mount stand

but it is probably best to wall-mount the unit to deliver

best possible radio performance.

1. Choose a location that is likely to provide line-of-

sight or maximum visibility of the clients in their

intended locations.

2. Ensure that the wall is suitable for drilling and that

there are no major metallic structures in the wall that

may interfere with the radio signals.

3. Consider the powering of the access point and either

provide a local AC socket or use the DC Injector unit

0-1591700-x to down-line power the access point.

4. Drill the mounting surface with 2 holes spaced apart

by 95mm and insert 2 screws into the holes leaving

about 10mm of screw head protruding.

5. Locate the keyhole slots on the rear of the access

point and carefully hang the access point on to the

screw head.

6. Fit the power and LAN cables and position the

antennae vertically as show.

Desk Mounting the Access Point

The access point can be mounted on a desk or similar surface, however it is recommended that

the unit is wall mounted to achieve a more professional installation and reduce the risk of

accidental knocks and other damage that can happened to desk-mounted equipment. The unit is

supplied with a plastic stand that is shaped to accommodate the access point.

1. Ensure that the proposed desk area is safe, dry and clean.

2. Carefully locate the access point into the stand.

3. Connect the cables to the access point.

4. Position the antennae vertically as show.
