of obstacles. Wireless LAN of IEEE802.11b/g specification employed in this unit
uses 2.4 GHz ISM (Industry Science Medical) band which is shared by various kinds
of ISM equipment including microwave ovens, high-frequency medical equipment,
etc. For this reason, communication by this unit may be interfered from them.

Also, communication by this unit may be interfered from adjacent electric/electronic
equipment which emit radio wave or generate magnetic field, office equipment, and
home electric appliances like TV.

I

SECURITY ON USING WIRELESS LAN

Wireless LAN uses radio signal (rather than wired one) for communication between

equipment like PC and a wireless access point. This is great advantage in that you

may LAN-connect to any station so long as you are within the wireless communication

range. Because radio signal can sometimes reach outside beyond obstacles (wall,)

this may cause the following problems unless security settings are done properly:

Outsider may spy your communication

Outsider may intentionally receive radio signal emitted from your equipment to spy

invaluable information including various ID’s, passwords, personal information like

credit-card numbers, e-mails, etc.

Outsider may invade/hack into your personal or company’s network to:

 Steal personal or secret information. (Leakage of Information)

 Impersonate someone else to communicate with another, and distribute harmful

information. (Impersonation)

 Falsify intercepted information and distribute it. (Falsification)

 Destroy data/system by distributing computer virus, etc. (Destruction)

Generally security system is built in wireless LAN equipment or wireless access point,

and proper setting of the security system minimizes the possibility of these problems.

Wireless LAN equipment is sometimes shipped without setting the built-in security

system. For this reason it is vitally important to complete security settings on

wireless LAN equipment before start using its LAN capability.

Due to the nature of wireless LAN, security may be broken by unpredictable special

manner. Always bear this in mind when using wireless LAN equipment. If you have

any question/problem in security settings, do not hesitate to call the vendor of the

wireless LAN equipment.

Always do security settings after you have understood everything completely. Again,

the entire risks are always assumed by you.

5. INSTALLATION: Notes on radio wave path

5-1 Radio wave attenuation by wall, metallic net, etc.

Radio wave is heavily attenuated by wall, metallic net, etc. If heavy attenuation is
anticipated, checking by measuring instrument is required.

5-2 Interference from ISM devices

IEEE802.11b/g-compatible wireless LAN device like this unit uses 2.4 GHz ISM
(Industry Science Medical) band. The 2.4 GHz ISM band is widely used by
microwave ovens, high-frequency medical equipment, etc.

If such ISM devices are installed nearby, you have to check mutual interference
beforehand by using measuring instrument. For a microwave oven, check
communication quality while heating water in a heat-proof bowl.

5-3 Mounting Location

Tabletop, overhead or wall mount is available. Decide mounting location, taking
the following points into consideration:

- Measure or guess radio wave coverage of your access point. For measurement,
consult with the vendor of this unit.
For guess, use the following guideline:

ENVIRONMENT

(INDOOR)

COVERAGE

(DIAMETER)

Open Shorter than 100 m

(No obstacle on line of sight)

Semi-open Shorter than 50 m

(Medium between “Open” and “Closed” environment)

Closed Shorter than 20 m

(Enclosed in compartment which reaches ceiling)

- Select a high location around the center of the intended communication area.

- Strong vibration or mechanical shock is not anticipated.

- Ambient temperature is not high but not extremely low, and humidity is low.

- Splash or rain drop is not anticipated.

- Avoid corrosive or exhaust gas environment.

- Select a place accessible for mounting and maintenance.

- Avoid the places where interference is anticipated. Make sure that there is no

metallic obstacle around this unit.

8

Depending on obstacles, communication area becomes extremely small. A
typical example is shown below.

In this example obstacles are as high as the ceiling. In this case, radio wave can
hardly reach the terminal.

9

5-4 Installing multiple access points

When installing several access points to cover larger area, decide their mounting
locations, considering the following points into consideration:

Channel Setting

- Generally “One common channel for one area” rule is recommendable.

Set all the access points in your intended to a common channel. If an area

covers several floors, use a single channel commonly among all the access
points.

- It is recommendable to select a channel which is at least 6 channels away from

existing system. Mutual interference will be avoided by this measure.

If another 2.4-GHz (IEEE802.11b/g) wireless LAN exists already, mutual

interference is anticipated. In such a case, select a channel which is at least 6
channels away from that LAN. If Channel 3 is used by the existing LAN for
example, select Channel 9.

Generally, channels are used efficiently among multiple systems when Channel 1,

7 or 13 is used.

Take note that some channels may not be approved in your country.

Cell Mapping

The area (called “cell”) covered by one access point is typically a circle of 50-meter
diameter in a warehouse, etc. Distance between neighboring access points is
usually around 80 m if sight is favorable between them. An examples of cell
mapping are given below:

NOTE: The cell ranges shown above are for reference only. Actual cell ranges

vary according to surrounding environment, etc.

6. INSTALLATION: Cabling & Mounting

6-1 Notes on Cabling

Cable Routing & Clamping

- Take care not to deform the profile of the cable by clamping it too tightly or by
bending it too sharply.

- Do not slack the cable. In the passage, it is a good practice to clamp the cable
with shorter interval or pass it through a pipe to prevent the cable from being
caught by some object. Avoid the places where damage of the cable is
anticipated, or protect the cable by passing it through a pipe.

- Take care so that the cable may not be caught by the cable cover of the access
point.

- To prevent interference by induction, separate the cable from power cables or the
ones which handle large power:

POWER LINE REQUIREMENT

Low-voltage Line (below 600 V) Separate 30 cm or more

High-voltage Line (up to 7000 V) Separate 1 m or more

To install the cable in shorter distance from the power lines, pass it through a
metallic pipe which is grounded sufficiently.

Static Discharge

If the unit or cable is installed at the place where objects (human body, cargo boxes,
etc.) touch it frequently, the unit may sometimes malfunction due to static discharge
from it. In such a case, take the following measures:

- Use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable.

- When you use STP cable, use the STP-version of the hub, too. Also, do not
forget to ground the body of the hub.

Of course, you may usually use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable rather than
STP cable.

Power Supply

Power is fed through the Ethernet cable connected to the LAN/PoE Port
(IEEE802.3af compliant). Stick a label to the power supply-end of the Ethernet
cable so that you may identify which access point is connected to. (These
measures are helpful when turning on-off specific access points.)

11

6-2 Mounting Procedure

Table-top Mount

1 To prevent the unit from slipping on the table, stick 4 pieces of Rubber Cushions

(standard supply) onto the bottom of the unit as shown below:

2 Next, place the unit on the table.

Wall Mount

Mount the unit, using the Mounting Base Kit (optional supply). You may also mount

the unit, using 2 pieces of Wood Screws (standard supply) as follows:

1 Screw 2 pieces of Wood Screws (3.5 x 18 mm) into the wall with 76mm

horizontal pitch. The screw head (surface) must be extruded from the wall
surface by 5 mm approx.

2 Hang the unit on the wood screws that you installed in step 1.

Mounting with Mounting Base Kit (optional supply)

6-3 Notes on PoE Power Supply

Power is fed from PoE power source through the Ethernet cable. This method is
handy because connection of power cable is not required. Two types of PoE
power sources are available, “Mid Span” and “PoE Hub”.

- The mid span is placed between a hub and access point. The access point is
powered from the mid span.

- The PoE hub incorporates both a hub and PoE power source, and an access

point is connected to it directly.

NOTE: - Use a mid span or PoE hub approved by FURUNO SYSTEMS only.

Do not use proprietary products of other makes.

- Each power source (mid span or PoE hub) has output capacity, and the
number of access points hosted is limited. It is recommended to limit the
number of access points so that totaled power consumption of all the
connected access points may not exceed 50% of the capacity of the
power source. This rule lowers the load of the power source, thereby
increasing the reliability of the total system. Usually, this rule is met if
half of the ports of each power source are left unused (open).

- Stick a label to the power supply-end of each Ethernet cable so that you
may identify which access point is connected. (These measures are
helpful when turning on-off specific access points for testing.)

between the following two cases:

- The system in which the access point communicates with wireless terminals finpad
500f, using MORS server.

- The system in which the access point communicates with terminal PCs, using UNIFAS
Managed Server or UNIFAS Small Office.

Initial Setup for connection to finpad 500f

The setup comprises the following two:

- Basic Settings for connection to Cable LAN

- In-depth Settings involving Wireless LAN.

7-1 Initial Setup Items

This sub-section lists the initial setup items.

NOTE: The items with "(REQUIRED)" are always required.

The items with "(OPTIONAL)" are required, depending on system
configuration.]

Basic Settings for connection to Cable LAN

NOTE: You will perform network-related settings here. If you do not know the

values to set, ask to your network administrator.

IP Address (REQUIRED)

Set the IP address that is assigned to the access point.

Subnet Mask

(REQUIRED)

Set the subnet mask that is assigned to the network in use.

Default Gateway Address

(OPTIONAL)
Set the IP address that is assigned to the device (usually a router) which relays to
external network.

Primary Server Address

(REQUIRED)

Set the IP address that is assigned to the MORS primary server.

Secondary Server Address

(OPTIONAL)

Set the IP address that is assigned to the MORS secondary server.

Device Name (alphanumeric within 8 letters) (REQUIRED)

Give a unique name to each access point. It is recommended to append the
channel or IP number to the unique base name. This eases the site survey
(included in Communication Area Measuring Tool) from finpad 500f.

16

In-depth Settings involving Wireless LAN

Channel (REQUIRED)

Select a channel from 1 to 14. Select a common channel number for all the access
points installed in a common wireless communication area. If another wireless
LAN system using 2.4 GHz exists, separate your channel from it by more than 6
channels.

SSID (alphanumeric within 32 letters) (REQUIRED)

This is a ID specific to a wireless communication area. Assign a common SSID to
neighboring access points and finpad 500f terminals. If SSID differs,
communication is not available.

WEP (OPTIONAL)

This setting protects the security of wireless communication. For security, set to
WEP ON. The setting must be equal among all the access points and finpad 500f
terminals within the wireless communication area. If the setting differs,
communication is not available.

Encryption Key Length (OPTIONAL)

Select either 64 bits or 128 bits. The setting must be equal among all the access
points and finpad 500f terminals within the wireless communication area. If the
setting differs, communication is not available.

Encryption Key (OPTIONAL)

Set the encryption key as follows:

- If Encryption Key Length is 64 bits, set 10 digits of hex. data.

- If Encryption Key Length is 128 bits, set 26 digits of hex. data.
The Encryption Key setting must be equal among all the access points and finpad
500f terminals within the wireless communication area. If the setting differs,
communication is not available
IMPORTANT: For security, the setting you entered can not be read any more.

Never forget it. (It is best to write it down on paper and keep it in
safe place.)

MORS Filter (OPTIONAL)

This setting enables or disables the filter that eliminates non-MORS communication.
For security, set the MORS filter to ON. External wireless communication will be
filtered out.

Cable LAN (OPTIONAL)

This setting is for transmission speed and duplex mode. For transmission speed,
you have three choices, 10 Mbps (fixed,) 100 Mbps (fixed) and Automatic
Switchover (default). For duplex mode, you have three choices, Half-duplex,
Full-duplex and Automatic Switchover (default).

Cable LAN Monitor (OPTIONAL)

You may enable (default) or disable the LAN-monitoring capability which monitors
the communicating condition of the cable LAN. If enabled, wireless communication
is stopped automatically when link of the cable LAN is not available. This prevents
undesired connection of finpad 500f and consequential abnormal communication
when cable LAN is disconnected.

17

7-2 Initial Setup Procedures

The following three methods are available:

Manual Setup by MainMenu

You perform all the settings (both Basic and In-depth Settings) manually from the
MainMenu (explained later on).

Setup by MORS Terminal Manager

You connect the access point to the MORS server through RS-232C cable, and
download all the settings (both Basic and In-depth Settings) which you made by
MORS Terminal Manager.

Hybrid Setup by MainMenu + MORS Terminal Manager

You perform Basic Settings manually from the MainMenu (explained later on), and
then connect to the network. After start-up, download In-depth Settings (which you
made by MORS Terminal Manager) automatically from the MORS server.

7-3 Calling MainMenu through network by telnet

You may call up MainMenu through telnet, connecting your PC to the access point
through the hub.
NOTE: The factory-set IP address of the access point is:

192.168.1.10

If the IP address is changed locally and you forgot it, you may return the IP

address setting to the factory default as follows:
1 Make sure that the Status LED is blinking in GREEN color.
2 Keep pressing the DEFAULT switch (with a clip tip, etc.) for longer than 3

seconds until the access point restarts. As a result the IP address
setting returns to the factory default "192.168.10".

PROCEDURE

8. Daily Maintenance

Daily maintenance is essential to keep the unit ready for operation at full performance.

Do maintenance from time to time as instructed below.

Housing

Gently wipe off dirt or stain from the housing by using soft cloth damped with a bit of
water.

CAUTION

Never use solvent such as thinner, benzene, toluene, acetone, etc., or
plastic body may melt, deform, whiten, etc.

When wiping the housing with damp cloth, squeeze out water well. If not,
metallic parts such as connector pins or switch contacts may deteriorate,
resulting in poor contact.

Connectors

If the unit is left in high-humidity or corrosive atmosphere for a long time, connectors
may be corroded, resulting in poor contact. To refresh the contacts, repeat plug-in
and out action several times. (Note that too many plug-in/out operations may waste
the contacts.)
