Proxim AP-2500 Management

Network Parameters

14. Click Configure > Interfaces > Wireless (A or B, if applicable) to open the configuration screen for the radio that

will use WDS.

15. Disable Auto Channel Select if necessary.

16. Change the Frequency Channel to match the AP-2500’s Frequency Channel, if necessary.

17. Scroll down to the Wireless Distribution System heading.

18. Click the Edit button to update the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Table.

19. Enter the MAC address for the AP-2500 in one of the Partner MAC Address field of the WDS Table

Configuration screen.

20. Set the Status of the device to Enable.

21. Click OK.

22. Reboot the AP.

Select the desired speed and transmission mode from the drop-down menu. Half-duplex means that only one side can

transmit at a time and full-duplex allows both sides to transmit. When set to auto-duplex, the AP negotiates with its

switch or hub to automatically select the highest throughput option supported by both sides.

For best results, Proxim recommends that you configure the Ethernet setting to match the speed and transmission

mode of the device the Access Point is connected to (such as a hub or switch). If in doubt, leave this setting at its

default, auto-speed-auto-duplex. Choose between:

• 10 Mbit/s - half duplex, full duplex, or auto duplex

• 100 Mbit/s - half duplex or full duplex

• auto speed - half duplex or auto duplex

NOTE

See Configure the Ethernet Interface for step-by-step configuration instructions.
