An important note about wireless security

For easy access to the management interface via a wireless connectio n, the CN 200 shi ps with all w ireless secu rity opti ons disabl ed . Once the u ni t
is installed, it is strongly recommended that you enable a wireless security optio n to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See the
CN200 Administrator's Guide for more information.

Installation

Configuration

Important: Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar
with local regulations governing wireless de vices.

Important: Shielded Ethernet cables must be used for all connections.
Important: Do not connect the LAN or Internet port directly to a metropolitan

area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).

Important: CH 36, 40, 44, 48 for Indoor use only (5.15-5.25GHz)

When mounting the CN200 on a wall, ceilin g or other surface, make sure
that:

• the surface you attach the CN200 to and the fasteners you use are
able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)

• cable pull (accidental or otherwise), must not make the unit exceed
the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit

Plenum installations

Plenum rated cables and attachment hardware must be used if the CN200
is installed in a plenum. Since the CN200 power adapter (optional) is not
rated for plenum installations, only the CN200 and appropriate cabling
can be located in the plenum.

Note: Colubris Networks supplied PoE injectors (available separately)
cannot be installed inside the plenum.

To configure the CN200, you use the Web-based management tool built
into the CN200. You access this tool by establishing a Web browser
connection to the CN200. You must use a JavaScript-enabled Web
browser (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or
higher with all applicable updates), to do this.

1 Connect two antennas.

Use the following antennas (sold separately):

Radio Antenna type Colubris Networks part number

802.11b/g 2.4 Ghz. 71-05-0100

802.11a 5Ghz. 71-05-0200

802.11a or b/g 2.4/5 Ghz. 71-05-0300

Both the Main and Aux antennas are used to transmit and receive. If a
single antenna is used, it can be attached to either connector,
although it is recommended that the Main connector be used.

The connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male jacks. This means
antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female connectors with
reverse polarity. Antennas should be 2 dBi or less and can be either
directly attached or attached via a coax cable.

2 Connect your computer

a. Use a cross-over cable (not supp lied) to connect the LAN po rt on

your computer to port 1 on the CN200.

b. Configure your computer with the static IP address 192.168.1.2.

3 Power-on the CN200.

Connect the power supply (sold separately) or use PoE to power-up
the CN200.

The CN200 is fully operational when the power light stops flashing.

4 Start the management tool.

a. Start your Web browser.
b. Specify the following in the address box: HTTPS://192.168.1.1

and press Enter.

c. You will be prompted to accept a Colubris Networks security

certificate. Do so to continue.

d. The CN200 login page opens. Login with username admin and

password admin.

6 Configure the CN200.

a. If the CN200 will be installed as a stand-alone device and not

connected to an access controller, open the Security >
Access controller page and uncheck the Security Filters
option. Click Save.

b. By default, the CN200 operates as a DHCP client to obtain its IP

address. In this configuration, the CN20 0’s serial number can be
used to manage the device. If static IP addressing is preferred,
configure it on the Network > Ports page by selecting the

Static option and then clicking Configure.

e. If this is the first time you are logging in, you will be prompted to

change the default administrator password. Specify a new
password and click Save.

5 Specify country of operation.

If you are using the CN200 outside of the USA, set the country
that the CN320 is operating in on the Management >
Country page.
