AP-10 PRO.11 Access Point
Quick Installation Guide
This Quick Installation Guide is intended for experienced installers and network administrators. All
others should refer to the relevant sections in the BreezeNET PRO.11 Series Installation Guide.
The BreezeNET Access Point is a wireless hub that provides access for wireless workstations or
workgroup bridges into wired Ethernet LANs.
1. Choose the bes t location to place the Access Point. Use the following guidelines:
• As high as possible, clearing partitions and tall furnishings.
• Away from metallic objects, heat and radiation sources.
• Central location in the intended coverage area.
• Extend antennas vertically in relation to the floor.
2. If necessary, attach the AP to the ceiling or a wall with a mounting bracket.
3. Connect the power output jack of the power supply to the DC input socket in the
back of the unit. Connect the power supply to a 110/220 VAC power outlet. Verify
that the PWR LED on the front panel is turned On.
4. Using a straight Ethernet cable, connect the UTP port on the back panel of the
AP-10 to an outlet in the Ethernet Backbone. Verify that the ETHR LED on the front
panel is blinking (p rovided there is traffic on the LAN).
5. Once wireless stations in the designated coverage area are present and activated,
verify proper sensing of these stations using the LOAD LEDs (L: 1-8 stations, L & M:
9-16 stations, L, M & H: 17 or more).
System Con figuration and Access Control
1. To enable management via SNMP or firmware upgrade via tftp, configure the IP
and SNMP parameters.
2. If more than one AP is installed in the same area, set different Hopping
Sequences for each AP in order to minimize channel collisions.
3. The BreezeNET APs contain a network identifier, ESS ID, that will prevent
unauthorized access to your AP. All station adapters (SA-PCR, SA-10, SA-40 and
WB-10) must be configured to the same ESS ID. This parameter also enables
segmentation of the wireless network.
4. In models with external antennas, sometimes only a single antenna is used. In this
case, Transmit Diversity should be configured to transmit only from that single
antenna.
Accessing and Using Local Terminal Management
1. Use the Monitor cable to connect the MON jack on the back panel of the unit to
the COM port of your ASCII terminal or PC.
2. Set communication parameters to the following:

• Baud Rate: 9600
• Data Bits: 8
• Stop Bits: 1
• Parity: None
• Flow Control: None
• Connector: As selected
3. From main menu select System Configuration or Access Control.
4. Default values are underlined.
System Configuration
Select IP and SNMP Parameters Load values as determined by the system
administrator:
• IP Address.
• Subnet Mask.
• Default Gateway Address.
Select Wireless LAN Parameters to view or set following parameters (default
values are underlined):
• Hopping Sequence: Default is 1.
• ESSID: Up to 32 printable ASCII characters (Default is
ESSID1). The ESS ID is case-sensitive
• Transmit Diversity: 0-Use Two Antennas , 1-Use Antenna
No. 1, 2 - Use Antenna No. 2.
Select Station Control to Reset Unit or Load Default Parameters:
• Reset Unit: 0 - Cancel Request, 1 - Reset System.
• Set Factory Defaults: 0 - Cancel request, 1 - Load default
values into NV ram (partial), 2 - Load default values into NV
ram (complete).
Access Control
Access Control functions enable the System Administrator to limit access to Local
Terminal Maintenance setup and configuration menus.
Select Access Control Menu to view or change access rights:
• Change Access Rights: 0-User, 1-Installer, 2-Technician.
• Change Installer Password: Type Password (up to 8
printable ASCII characters. Factory Default password is
user)
IMPORTANT:
Do not forget to do a System Reset after making changes in the setup.
