1. Unpack the Wireless Device Server
Unpack the AirborneDirect Wireless Device Server and compare the package contents with the items listed on the front of this Quick Start Guide. If any item is missing or damaged, contact Quatech immediately.
2. What Else You Will Need
To complete your setup, you need the following items (not provided):
A serial client ~ aserialdeviceoracomputerwithafemaleDB9connectorconfiguredasDataCommunications Equipment(DCE).IftheserialclientisaDCEwithamaleDB9connector(non-standard),youmustprovidea male-to-femaleconverter, available from electronics and computer stores.
The client must be within the transmit and receive range of the Access Point (AP) to be used with the Wireless Device Server.
A LAN host ~ a device or computer with a network interface card (NIC)
An IEEE 802.11b-compliant Access Point. DHCP must be enabled on the Access Point.
Mounting hardware for the AirborneDirect Wireless Device Server cradle.
3.Connect the Access Point and
the AirborneDirect Device Server
A. Place the Access Point in close proximity to the Wireless Device Server. Follow the directions in the Access Point manual to
install the network cable (to the LAN host) and the
Access Point’s power cable.
a. For initial configuration, the security on Access Point
must be disabled
B. If the serial client is configured as DCE with a female DB9 connector, connect the cable on the Wireless Device Server directly to the client. If the serial client is DTE with a male DB9 connector, use the provided female-to-female null-modem adapter to connect the
Wireless Device Server to the client.
Note that if the serial client’s DB9 connector is the non-standard gender for its type (i.e., a male connector on a DCE device or a female connector on a DTE device), you must first use a male-to-female converter (not provided) to change the connector to the standard gender. Then connect the DTE or DCE device as described above.
Note: The presence of multiple Access Points in the area may interfere with the wireless device server’s ability to associate with the AP you intend to use. If you have difficulties connecting to your chosen Access Point, either remove power from the other Access Points or perform the setup in a remote location.
