How can a client “roam” from access point to access point ?

1.Clients can “roam” between access points if the SSID, WEP and optionally the 802.1x settings are common. The channel assignments do not need to be identical as the clients should be frequency-agile.

2.Use the Wireless > 11a or > 11g menu options to identify the settings.

3.Use the Wireless > Status option to list the connected clients on the access point(see page 28 for details).

A Duplicate Administrator message is displayed on the web browser screen:-

Check that only one entity is managing the access point at any time. When this message is displayed, note the reported existing management IP address and request that their existing session is closed.

What range does the access point support ?

This is an impossible question to answer as the answer depends on many external factors. However, in the standard, open plan office environment, the access point should be able to provide satisfactory coverage over at least 40-50m range.

How many users can the access point support ?

This depends on the bandwidth expectations of each user as all users share the same aggregate bandwidth of approx 20Mbps for the 802.11g and 802.11a wireless networks. The access point can store up to 255 MAC addresses, but the suggested maximum number of clients for the 2.4GHz band is 30 users and up to 100 users for the 5GHz band.

How do I reset the access point ?

If control of the access point has been lost or if passwords have been lost, then it is possible to return the access point to the factory default state. This is achieved by using a small pointed tool to carefully activate the reset button located next to the console port on the side of the access point. Press this button for about 3 seconds and the access point will be hard-reset.

Power Supplies

The access point can be powered in the following ways:-

•Local AC power via a +12v DC converter connected to the power port,

•Remote +48v DC power over the Ethernet cable from a power splitter (p/n 0-1591710-x).

By default, the access point is supplied with an external, in-line AC/DC power converter that delivers 12v DC at up to 1A.

Remote DC power can also be delivered to the access point using the spare pairs of the RJ-45 Ethernet connector in conjunction with the power splitter:-

Pin No. Power Function

4+48v DC

5+48v DC

70v

80v

Ensure that the correct power polarity is observed.
