Introduction to Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point
1 Introduction to Nokia A036 Wireless LAN
Access Point
1.1 Nokia A036 technical overview
Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point serves as a wireless hub that coordinates
and controls a wireless LAN. Portable devices equipped with IEEE802.11(b)
compatible adapters can communicate with a wired LAN or with each other
through the Nokia A036. A wireless LAN can be implemented as an extension to
GSM, GPRS and UMTS networks or to an existing wired LAN. Nokia A036 is
Wi-Fi certified.
Access Point management
Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point management interface is designed to
work with Internet Explorer. In addition, Nokia A036 can be managed via
command line interface. New configuration data can be downloaded via TFTP
and FTP in an authorised manner. Nokia A036 can also be configured remotely
via the web user interface and SMNP.
Security
Nokia A036 supports both types of authentication specified in the IEEE802.11b
standard; Open system authentication (Open Mode) and WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) key authentication. In the Open Mode, authentication and the transfer of
user data is not encrypted. In terms of WEP, Nokia A036 supports encryption
with the 40-bit option or extended 128-bit high-level security.
In addition, the design of Nokia A036 provides physical security from
unauthorised access. All connectors are hidden inside the casing and there are no
screws to open, preventing unathorised opening. Only authorised personell know
how to open the casing.
Power Over Ethernet
dn02119532
Issue 1-0 en
Nokia A036 has an built-in Power Over Ethernet client compliant to IEEE802.3af
standard. The client allows both PoE installation and conventional power supply.

Antennas
Nokia A036 is equipped with fully balanced and high quality internal antennas
resulting in an optimal RF performance. The antennas have been designed to
optimise coverage and reception propability when Nokia A036 is wall mounted.
Nokia A036 also allows the installation of external antennas. External antennas
may be needed if the access point needs to be hidden or, for example, an omnidirectional coverage is required. Three different types of external antennas are
available by order. For more information on external antennas, see Nokia A036
technical specification.
Wi-Fi 802.11b functionality
Nokia A036 Wireless LAN Access Point follows the Wi-Fi recommendation for
default settings, as specified in the Wi-Fi System Interoperability Test Plan
version 1.1a. Therefore, Nokia A036 needs no reconfiguration to achieve Wi-Fi
compatibility.

2 Install
2.1 Fixing the mounting clamp
Nokia A036 is installed using a mounting clamp. You can either fix the clamp to
the wall with screws or fasten it with tie wraps. See (3) in figure 1 for holes for tie
wraps.
To fix the mounting clamp to the wall with screws:
Install
Steps
1. Place the mounting clamp against the wall and mark fixing points
See (1) and (2) in figure 1 for marking fixing points. It is recommended
you use the horizontal holes (1) as they are stronger than the vertical holes
(4).

.
through the top cable inlet
.
through the cable inlet in the middle of the back cover
.
through the bottom cable inlet
Depending on how you feed the cable, remove the appropriate cable inlet cover
by pressing it gently (see figure 4). To avoid injury to your hands, use a tool for
removing the cover.
