MOUNTING THE BSAP TO A WALL/HARD CEILING/JUNCTION BOX

BSAPs should be positioned for maximum throughput and range between other APs and wireless client devices. Follow these instructions to mount the BSAP on an interior hard ceiling, wall, or junction box using the appropriate enclosed mounting kit:

1. BSAP 3045 only: Install the antennas (sold separately) onto the appropriate antenna ports. The antenna ports are labeled

2. Using the metal bracket as template, mark the locations of the four mounting holes on the sheetrock wall, hard

3. For sheetrock ceiling/walls: Press the point of the metal screw anchors into the sheetrock at the marks. Using a drill

4. For masonry walls: Using a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) masonry drill bit, drill a hole 1.5-inch (38.1 mm) deep. Tap the

anchor into the hole until the top is flush with the surface of the wall.

5. Drive the appropriate provided mounting screws through the metal bracket into the anchors until the bracket is secure against the wall.

6. Once the bracket is mounted on the wall, insert the mounting pegs into the keyed slots on the back of the unit.

7. Slide the unit downward until the pegs are fully engaged.

8. Using a screwdriver, drive the set screw into the hole to secure the unit to the bracket.

9. Optionally protect your BSAP with a Kensington cable lock (not provided) inserted in the security slot.

MOUNTING THE BSAP TO A DROPPED CEILING

BSAPs should be positioned for maximum throughput and range between other APs and wireless client devices.The BSAP 3040/3045 ships with two drop ceiling mounting brackets (9/16 and 15/16) to mount the BSAP on the ceiling tile separators of flush and recessed dropped ceilings. Follow these instructions to mount the BSAP to a dropped ceiling:

1. For the BASP 3045 only: Install the antennas (sold separately) onto the appropriate antenna ports. The antenna ports are labeled

2. Align the appropriately sized mounting bracket at a slight angle to the T-rail. Rotate the bracket until the stationary bracket tabs slide onto the T-rail and the flexible bracket tabs snap over the T-rail.

3. Align edges the ceiling mounting bracket with the bracket channels on the bottom of the BSAP shown in the figure. Slide the BSAP onto the bracket until you hear the bracket release tab snap into place.

4. To remove the BSAP from the mounting bracket, use a screw driver to lift the bracket release tab and slide the BSAP off the bracket.

SUPPLYING POWER TO THE BSAP

The BSAP 3040/3045 does not have a power switch. It is powered on when connected to a network device that supplies PoE based on the IEEE 802.3at standard, an optional external 802.3at PoE+ injector (P/N 1700926F1), or an optional external 2 amp DC power adapter (P/N 1700963F1) connected to an AC power source. To use the external DC power adapter, connect the adapter to the adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100 and 240 VAC at 50 or 60 HZ. No voltage range settings are required.

• To reduce potential safety issues, use only the AC adapter listed above or an ADTRAN approved equivalent.

• If the BSAP is used in a medical environment, it must use an IEC/EN 60601-1 compliant power adapter.

• Ethernet and PoE cables are intended for intrabuilding use only. Connecting this device directly to cables that run outside the building in which the unit is housed will void the user's warranty and could create a fire or shock hazard.

If the BSAP is to be powered using a network device such as a switch, connect the BSAP to the appropriate switchport. Obtain the IP address of the BSAP from the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server (based on the MAC address of the BSAP). DHCP is enabled by default. You can then use a Secure Shell (SSH) client to connect to the BSAP based on the instructions below. If the BSAP is powered using a PoE injector, connect the the PoE injector and connect the Ethernet port of the switch to the the default IP address of the BSAP as instructed below. If the BSAP is powered using the optional DC power adapter, connect the Ethernet port of the BSAP to the Ethernet port of the computer. The proceed to SSH to the default IP address of the BSAP as instructed below.

CONFIGURING THE BSAP WITH VWLAN AND AP DISCOVERY

The BSAP 3040/3045 can be configured for use with the Bluesocket virtual wireless local area network (vWLAN). If you have installed vWLAN, and want to use AP discovery to configure the BSAP, follow these steps. For more information on the vWLAN and AP discover, refer to the

https://supportforums.adtran.com.

1. After powering the BSAP and connecting it to the network, allow the BSAP to discover the vWLAN appliance to receive its configuration information. This AP discovery process uses an algorithm that attempts discovery methods in this order: static configuration, Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) vendor option (43), Domain Naming System (DNS) discovery, and cached vWLAN information. If no response to the discovery request is received, the algorithm moves to the next method in the list (except when using static configuration, which never queries the other discovery methods).

2. There are two additional network components that can be configured to facilitate AP discovery. First, an external DHCP server can be configured to assign IP addresses to APs associated with the vWLAN. When configuring the DHCP server, make sure to configure the Bluesocket DHCP Vendor option (43) on the server. Second, you can configure an external DNS server to resolve the name apdiscovery to the IP address of the vWLAN in the network environment.

CONFIGURING THE BSAP’S IP ADDRESS USING THE CLI

By default, DHCP is enabled on the BSAP 3040/3045. However, if you need to statically configure the IP address or statically configure AP discovery for the BSAP, you can access the AP’s CLI using either a VT100 terminal emulation program or an SSH client. To access the AP CLI using a VT100 terminal emulation program, follow these steps:

1. Connect a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable (rollover cable) to the AP’s serial cable to the PC.

2. Open a VT100 terminal emulation program with the following settings: and

1 stop bit (no flow control). Select <Enter> to access the CLI.

3. At the prompt, enter the user name

To access the AP CLI using an SSH client, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the BSAP is connected to a controlling computer (using the provided RJ-45 Ethernet cable).

2. Specify that the computer’s TCP/IP setting is On or Enabled by navigating to Control Panel > Network

Connections and double-clicking the connection of your network interface card. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/ IP) and select Properties. Then specify that the TCP/IP setting is enabled.

3. Set your PC to a static IP address of 192.168.190.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

4. Next, access the BSAP’s command line interface (CLI) using an SSH client. Open an SSH connection using the unit’s default IP address (192.168.190.1) and port 2335 connected to the LAN1 port on the BSAP. To access the unit using vWLAN, and for more instructions about CLI configuration, refer to the
