Introduction
Red-M™ 1000AP™ access points are designed to work
with Genos™ software, which runs on the Red-M
3000AS™ access server or a Linux server. 1000AP
access points enhance your Bluetooth™ infrastructure by
letting more users connect over a wider area.
1000APs have a Bluetooth range of up to 100 meters (for
high-powered devices) or around 15 meters (for
low-powered devices). Range often varies with both the
connecting device and the surrounding environment.
Installation
There are two installation options: ‘star-wiring’ or
‘daisy-chaining’. Connect 1000APs to your LAN using
Category 5 Ethernet cables with standard RJ-45
connectors. There should be no more than 100 meters of
cabling between two 1000APs or between a 1000AP and
the Ethernet port to which it is connected. This is an
Ethernet limitation. For more information about cabling,
see Connecting the cables on page 9.
Note: When configuring a 1000AP on your management
PC, this guide refers to Genos software version 2.0 and
above. If you have BIAS version 1.3 or earlier installed
on your 3000AS, upgrade to the latest version of Genos
available from the Red-M website (www.red-m.com).
Note: Some jurisdictions require special wiring if
installing cables into a ceiling cavity. They may also have
special conditions about installing products on a ceiling
or installing the supplied power adapter. If in doubt,
contact your local authority.

Before you start
Before you start, you need:
• Either a configured Red-M 3000AS access server or
a Linux server with Genos installed
• Category 5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors
• The DC 12v power adapter (included)
• If mounting on a ceiling or wall:
- Two screws
- A mounting bracket (included)
- A screwdriver
• An Ethernet hub or switch (if installing in a
‘star-wire’ configuration).
Note: The mounting bracket may already be fitted to
the 1000AP during packaging. You may want to remove
the bracket to use the 1000AP on a desktop.
Note: If you use the star-wire configuration from the
Access Point port of a 3000AS, and connect to a switch
or hub’s standard ports, you will need an Ethernet
crossover cable.
