Access the WavePOINT-II AP Configuration3
The easiest way to access the start-up configuration of your
WavePOINT-II AP devices, is to configure the devices one-by-one at your
desk via one of the following wired connect ions:
■ Connect directly to the LAN administrator’s station.
■ Connect via a network hub.
Connect Directly to the LAN Administrator’s Station
To enable a d irect cable connection to your LAN administrator’s station, the
WavePOINT-II AP supports two types of ethernet cabling:
■ 10Base-T, also referred to as UTP (Unshielded Twi sted Pair).
■ 10Base2, also referred to as Thin-coax with BNC connectors.
If you are using 10Base-T cables, you can only establisha “direct
connection” if you use a dedicated“crossover” cable as picturedin Figure
3-1 (also referred to as “cross-wired” or “cross-connect”).
ORINOCO WavePOINT-II - Getting Started

Beyond Quick-Start... - Introduction
Figure3-1 Connect via a 10Base-T CrossoverCable
If you are using 10Base2 cables, you must connect the cables using
standard BNC T- connectors, and apply terminators at the open ends of the Tconnectors.
Connect via a Network Hub
An alternative way to connect the WavePOINT-II AP unit to your LAN
administrator’s station is via a network hub, or patch panel as picture d in
Figure 3-2.

ORINOCO WavePOINT-II - Getting Started
Beyond Quick-Start... - Introduction
Figure 3-2 Connect via a Hub
This method is similar to most standard Ethernet 10Base-T cabling systems.
For “out-of- the-box” installations, the easiest way to access the unit, is by
connecting your LAN administrator’s station and the WavePOINT-II AP
device to the same hub, to ensure that both devices are located on the same
subnet.
