FCC Compliance Statement
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the instructions provided with the equipment, may cause interference to radio and TV communication. The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If you suspect this equipment is causing interference, turn your Ethernet Switch on and off while your radio or TV is showing interference, if the interference disappears when you turn your Ethernet Switch off and reappears when you turn it back on, there is interference being caused by the Ethernet Switch.
You can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving radio or TV antenna where this may be done safely. To the extent possible, relocate the radio, TV or other receiver away from the Switch. Plug the Ethernet Switch into a different power outlet so that the Switch and the receiver are
on different branch circuits. If necessary, you should consult the place of purchase or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Chapter 1 Introduction

The MAP-2105 is a mobile IP roaming gateway which is specifically designed for PLANET wireless mesh network. It offers the full “mobility” to all users. Not like the layer-2 only capability in ordinary AP, the “mobility” defined in MAP-2105 is the ability of a user to change its attached node from one mesh AP to another while maintaining all existing communications and using the same IP address at this new link. Remote printing, remote login, VoIP sessions, and file transfers are some examples of applications whose communications are undesirable to interrupt when a mobile user moves from node to node.

1.1 Features

Provides Mobile IP capability for all wireless clients in the MESH network
Secured HTTP management
Supports VPN client
Optimized for up to 500 mobile users

1.2 Package Contents

The following items should be included:
MAP-2105 x 1
Power Adapter x 1
Quick Start Guide x 1
Management Utility and User's manual CD x 1
If any of the above items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.

1.3 Network Planning

The basic MESH Network topology can be planned as following.
Mesh Gateway
Mesh Relay
DHCP Server
Mesh Relay
802.11b/g Mobile User
Ethernet Switch
Router
MAP-2105
1
The MAP-2105 should connect to the network that provide DHCP services (the first time installation) In this guide, we will base on XRT-401D (Internet Broadband Router) as the example for DHCP server, switch and router, this installation can vary on the network planning.
The MAP-2105 should be installed in the same subnet to the Mesh Gateway for optimal performance.
The MAP-2105 is optimized for 500-user registration; however, the overall
Note
network performance may vary on the real environment and application in many aspects, such as the bandwidth to the Internet, the services / sessions that the clients implement.

1.4 Hardware Installation

1. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the WAN port of MAP-2105 to a
10Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the management station to a hub or switch on the same LAN.
2. Connect the power adapter to the receptor on MAP-2105 and plug the other end to a wall
outlet or power strip.
ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the MAP-2105. Otherwise, the
Note
product may be damaged.

1.5 Startup the MAP-2105

To get the first management of the MAP-2105, please follow the following steps.
1. Connect the MAP-2105’s WAN port to the network where can provide the DHCP services.
For example, connect to the LAN port of XRT-401D.
2. Power on a PC that also connects to the LAN port of the XRT-401D with DHCP or fixed IP
address.
3. Open the Internet browser and go to the DHCP status page of XRT-401D to check the WAN
IP address of the MAP-2105.
WAN MAC Address of MAP-2105
4. Check the MAC address from the Web page and also the MAC address label of the MAP-
2105. For example, 09-64 as the figure above.
5. Key in the IP address you found for MAP-2105 with “
https://”. For example:
2
https://192.168.0.100.
6. The pop-up screen will ask for user name and password. By default, please key in “admin”
for both name and password. Then bring up the screen.
7. Now, the MAP-2105 is ready for services.
