1Introduction

1.1 What is a wireless LAN?

The following sections describe the functionality of wireless networks



in general. You can see from the table 'What your LANCOM can do' further below which functions your device supports. Please refer to the reference manual for further information on this topic.

A wireless LAN connects individual end-user devices (PCs and mobile computers) to form a local network (also called – Local Area Network). In contrast to a traditional LAN, communication takes place over a wireless connection and not over network cables. For this reason it is called a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).

A wireless LAN provides the same functionality as a cable-based network: Access to files, servers, printers etc. as well as the integration of individual work stations into a corporate mail system or access to the Internet.

There are obvious advantages to wireless LANs: Notebooks and PCs can be installed where they are needed—problems with missing connections or structural changes are a thing of the past with wireless networks.

Apart from that, wireless LANs can also be used for connections over longer distances. Expensive leased lines and the associated construction measures can be saved.

LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM Access Points can be opera-



ted either as self-sufficient Access Points with their own configuration (WLAN modules in "Access Point mode“) or as components in a WLAN infrastructure, which is controlled from a central WLAN- Controller ("managed mode"). Please observe the corresponding notices to this in this documentation.

1.1.1 Modes of operation of wireless LANs and access points

Wireless LAN technology and access points in wireless LANs are used in the following modes of operation:

 Simple, direct connection between terminal devices with an access point

(ad-hoc mode)

 Extensive wireless LANs, possibly connected to a LAN, with one or more

access points (infrastructure network)

 Transmission of VPN-encrypted connections with VPN pass through  Establishing access to the Internet  Connecting two LANs over a wireless link (point-to-point mode)  Connecting devices with an Ethernet interface via an access point (client

mode)

 Extending an existing Ethernet network with a wireless LAN (bridge mode)  Relay function for connecting networks via multiple access points

 Central administration using a LANCOM WLAN Controller

1.2 Just what can your LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless do?

2.2 System requirements

2.2.1 Configuring the LANCOM devices

Computers that connect to a LANCOM must meet the following minimum requirements:

 Operating system that supports TCP/IP, e.g. Windows Vista™,

Windows XP, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000, Windows 98, Linux, BSD Unix, Apple Mac OS, OS/2.

 Access to the LAN via the TCP/IP protocol.  Wireless LAN adapter or LAN access (if the access point is to be connected

to the LAN).

The LANtools also require a Windows operating system. A web brow-



ser under any operating system provides access to WEBconfig.

2.2.2 Operating access points in managed mode

LANCOM Wireless Routers and LANCOM Access Points can be operated either as self-sufficient Access Points with their own configuration ("Access Point mode“) or as components in a WLAN infrastructure, which is controlled from a central WLAN-Controller ("managed mode").

 Chapter 2: Installation

2.3 Status displays and interfaces

Meanings of the LEDs

In the following sections we will use different terms to describe the behaviour of the LEDs:

 Blinking means, that the LED is switched on or off at regular intervals in

the respective indicated colour.

 Flashing means, that the LED lights up very briefly in the respective

colour and stay then clearly longer (approximately 10x longer) switched off.

 Inverse flashing means the opposite. The LED lights permanently in the

respective colour and is only briefly interrupted.

 Flickering means, that the LED is switched on and off in irregular inter-

vals.

nections are supported. The available transfer rate is detected automatically (autosensing). The LAN connection features an automatic MDI/MDIX detector enabling the use of cross-over cables. The LAN connector on the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless supports Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The reset function

Via the serial interface the device can either be bootet (restarted) or reset (to the factory settings).

Unsrew the fitting of the “COM/Reset” interface at the bottom of the device. Insert the reset plug to the serial interface. Via this plug, two connectors of the interface are bridged, which starts the reset process.

Press the reset plug briefly to re-start the device. Pressing the button for 5 seconds or longer restarts the device and resets the configuration to its factory settings. All LEDs on the device light up continuously. Once the switch is released the device will restart with the restored factory settings.

After resetting, the device starts completely unconfigured and all



settings are lost. If possible be sure to backup the current device configuration before resetting.

After resetting, the LANCOM Access Point returns to managed mode,

Installation of the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless

For the installation of the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless proceed as follows:

햲 Earth connection - attach the earth cable to the earth screw of the

LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless and to a suitable earthed conductor.

When mounting the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless on poles or

Wireless please observe the information on lightning protection in the attached LANCOM Outdoor Wireless Guide.

햳 Optional: Antenna terminal LANCOM OAP-54-1 Wireless – screw the sup-

plied diversity antennas onto the two N connectors on the bottom side of the LANCOM OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless.

When assembling separately purchased mobile radio antennas please



note that the maximum allowed transmission power of the wireless LAN according to EIRP in the country in question may not be exceeded. The system operator is responsible for adhering to the threshold values.

The employment of the AirLancer Extender SA-5L for internal light-



ning protection is essential under all circumstances—the AirLancer Extender SA-5L is always mounted between the Access Point and the antenna, preferably as near as possible to the antenna.

Antennas are only to be attached or changed when the device is



switched off. Mounting or demounting antennas while the device switched on may cause the destruction of the WLAN module!

햴 LAN—The LAN connector is also used to supply power to the LANCOM

OAP/OAC-54-1 Wireless. Plug in the water-proof power cable to the LAN port on the underside of the device and carefully tighten the threaded connector. Connect the other end of the power cable to the 'Power Out' connector on the supplied PoE Injector.

햵 DSLoL – If you want to use your access point in DSLoL mode, you can

either connect the device directly to the DSL modem (exclusive mode) or to a hub resp. switch of the cable-bound LAN (automatic mode).

 For the exclusive mode insert the included network cable (green

plugs) into the LAN connector of the device and the other end into the corresponding interface of the DSL modem.

 For the automatic mode for simultaneous operating with LAN and

DSLoL insert the included network cable (green plugs) into the LAN connector of the device and the other end into a free network connecting socket of your local network (resp. into a free socket of a hub/ switch).

More information about using a LAN interface for DSLoL can be found in the following information box → ’LAN interface: exclusive or in parallel for DSLoL.

LAN interface: exclusive or in parallel for DSLoL

There are two principle DSLoL operation modes available. Either use the exclusive mode when connecting your LANCOM Access Point directly to a DSL modem, or use the automatic mode when connecting the Access Point to a hub or switch of a cable-bound LAN, and connect this hub/switch again to the DSL modem. If the Access Point is broadcasted as gateway via DHCP, computers in LAN and WLAN can use the internet connection simultaneously via one physical interface. Set the desired mode in LANconfig in the Interface settings of the DSLoL interface.

DSLoL supports all PPPoE-based Internet access lines, as well as those that are sup-

plied with a access router with multiple fixed IP addresses (such as many SDSL business lines).

nected via a normal Ethernet cable to an available network connection socket in your local network (e.g. an available socket on a hub or switch) and the PoE Injector connected with the electricity supply.

Information about the installation of PoE can be found in the information box 'Power over Ethernet—elegant power supply over LAN cabling' above.
