Configuring your Canopy AP Units for a Multiple AP Unit Site

- All Canopy AP radios come pre-configured with the same default IP address, 169.254.1.1. When mounting multiple Canopy AP radios together at a site, they should first be reconfigured to different individual IP addresses, or it will not be possible to individually address them later.

- Use a Windows laptop or computer configured for a dynamic IP address. Startup the laptop with no Ethernet connection. This automatically assigns a compatible IP address to the laptop in the 169.254 subnet.

- Connect a straight-thru Ethernet cable from the power-adapter Ethernet patch to the RJ45 socket on the Canopy AP. Plug the AC adapter into an AC outlet. Connect the other side of the power adapter’s Ethernet patch into your PC Ethernet port.

- Using a web browser, go to the default URL (http://169.254.1.1) to access the Canopy AP internal configuration web pages. Keeping a permanent record, assign a sequentially consecutive address to each Canopy AP unit.

Example: 1st Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.2 2nd Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.3 3rd Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.4 4th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.5 5th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.6 6th Canopy AP Unit IP Address 192.168.1.7

- Changing the subnet assignment to valid IP addresses on your network, and it is also recommended to begin IP assignments at 2.

- Once the Canopy AP Unit flash has been updated & the unit rebooted, it may only be accessed thereafter by it’s new IP address.

Accessing your Canopy AP Unit Configuration

A PC for accessing your Canopy AP Unit configuration does not require any special setup beyond proper installation of Ethernet interface device, drivers, and TCP/IP protocol.

Configuring the CANOPY AP Unit

During normal operation, the Canopy AP Unit provides a variety of status & diagnostic information should this become necessary. The Canopy AP Unit requires little configuration for operation and is delivered with default operating parameters. As described earlier, in a multiple AP system, reconfiguration of the Canopy AP Units is required to assign unique IP address assignments, as well as coordinate Canopy AP Unit frequencies.

Open your web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer) and enter the Canopy AP Unit default URL (http://169.254.1.1

), or the URL with the unique IP address assigned to a specific Canopy AP Unit. If the CANOPY radio is powered and a proper network connection exists to your computer, you will see the CANOPY AP Unit status page open in your web browser. These web pages are within the CANOPY AP Unit, and no connection to the Internet is required. Various web pages within the CANOPY AP Unit can be selected from the choices on the left.

Installing CANOPY BH

Mount the Canopy BH radios on any structures which will provide the pair of radios a clear unobstructed view.

The Canopy BH units are configured as a pair with one of the units designated as AP and one of the units designated as SM. Carefully align both the AP unit and SM unit to point at each other. If the distance is far enough that the target location is not visible, plan the direction using a map and align the units carefully with a compass. Install and power the AP unit first. Then when installing the SM location, the built-in alignment mode will be used to fine-tune the alignment and verify the link.

Either side of the Point-to-Point link can be the BH-AP Unit. If one of the following conditions applies, select the BH-AP unit accordingly:

•

If one side of the Point-to-Point link is also intended to be the location of a Canopy Access Point to reach Point-to-MultiPoint Subscriber Modules, put the Canopy BH-AP unit on this side and connect it using the Canopy AP Installation Kit along with the other Canopy AP units.

•

If there is no connection to a Canopy Point-to-Multipoint network (just a dedicated link), but one site is co-located with multiple Canopy Point-to-Point links in a star configuration, put the Canopy BH-AP unit on the multiple Canopy BH site … and use a Canopy AP Installation Kit.

•

If there is no connection to a Canopy Point-to-Multipoint network (just a dedicated link) but the network is managed from one side, put the Canopy BH-AP unit on the side that the network is normally managed from.

Canopy BH—Dedicated Link

This is a basic, simple, stand-alone dedicated link using Canopy BH. Either side can be SM or AP. For convenience, the Canopy BH-AP unit should be on the side of the link where normal management functions are performed. The management side can directly access the internal web pages of the Canopy BH-AP unit, and can access the Canopy BH-SM web pages through the Canopy BH-AP unit.

Both Canopy BH units (SM & AP) both are powered by AC Adapters … neither side uses a Canopy AP Installation Kit. Since there is no Canopy AP Installation kit at either side, there is no GPS synchronization, and the Canopy BH-AP unit must be configured to “Generate AP Sync Signal”, and not “Sync AP to Received Signal”.
