Installation

Preparation for Installation

Always double check for any missing parts from the kit you received before deployment.

Next step is to set up the computer Ethernet interface for configuring the TT™5800X/TT™2400X. you’ll need to set the computer Ethernet interface within the same IP range as your TT™5800X/TT™2400X.

Check the following section - “Hardware Installation” and the next chapter - “Configuring Windows for IP Networking” to obtain complete details.

Hardware Installation

Follow the procedure below to install your TT™5800X/TT™2400X device:

1. Select a suitable place on the network to install the TT™5800X/TT™2400X. For best wireless reception and performance the external antenna should be positioned within Line of Sight from the AP with proper alignment.

2. Connect the TT™5800X/TT™2400X to the ODU side of the PoE Injector, via a straight Ethernet cable (Cat-5), and then connect the NET side of the PoE Injector to either a computer or an Ethernet Switch. Note: The

TT™5800X/TT™2400X now fully supports the MDI/MDI-X standard and no longer requires the use of cross over cable to connect directly with a computer.

3. Connect the 48VDC power adapter to the power jack on the PoE injector to power on the TT™5800X/TT™2400X.

4. Check the LEDs on the TT™5800X/TT™2400X to confirm if the status is okay. At this point the Power LED should be on in Red and Ethernet should be on in Green. The RF light should light up once the unit is associated wirelessly with another wireless device. However at this point the unit is still in factory default setting so do not alarm if the RF light doesn’t light up.

5. Now the hardware installation is complete, and you may proceed to the next chapter –“Configuring Windows for IP Networking” for instruction on setting up network configurations.

Configuring Windows for IP Networking

To establish a communication between your PCs and TT™5800X/TT™2400X, you will need to set up a static IP address for your computer first. This section helps you configure the network settings for your operating system. Please follow the procedures below to complete the settings (suppose the default IP address of the unit is

192.168.3.1):

Windows 98/Me

1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Control Panel from the submenu of Settings.

2. Select Network to open the Network dialog box, and then under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card.

3. Click Properties to open the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.

4. Click the IP Address tab and choose Specify an IP address. For example, type in 192.168.3.x in the IP Address (where X is any free IP number from 2-254) area and 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area. To ensure the system is now using the IP address you specify, restart the computer.

5. Click OK, and then restart the system.

Windows 2000

1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Network and Dial-up Connection from the submenu of Settings.

2. Double-click the Local Area Connection open the Local Area Connection Properties box.

3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for your network card, and then click Properties to open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.

4. Under the General tab, choose Use the following IP address, and then specify an IP address. For example, type in 192.168.3.x in the IP Address area and 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area.

Note: Again the IP address must be in the format of 192.168.3.x. Where the value of X should be ranged from 2 to 254.

5. Click OK.

Windows XP

1. Click Start on the taskbar and choose Network from the submenu of Control Panel.

2. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and then choose Properties from the menu. You should see the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box shown below.

3. Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) for your network card, and then click Properties.

4. In the opened dialog box, choose Use the following IP address

5. Under the General tab, choose Use the following IP address, and then specify an IP address. For example, type

in 192.168.3.x in the IP Address (where X is any free IP number from 2-254) area and 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask area.

Note: Again the IP address must be in the format of 192.168.3.x. Where the value of X should be ranged from 2 to 254.

6. Click OK.

Web Configuration Interface

Note: The configuration and information pages below are based on AP mode web interface; they are also applicable for Subscriber units as well unless they are specified.

The Default IP Addresses: Access Point: 192.168.1.1 Subscriber: 192.168.3.1 To access the web control interface please open up a browser window and type in the factory default IP address in the URL.

Then press Enter on your keyboard, you will see the login prompt window appear similar like the one shown below:

User account: There are 2 user accounts for web configuration interface: “Admin” and “User” with different administration privilege respectively. "Admin" has full access to the Web-based management interface whereas "User", who will have readonly access to the Web-based management interface. No password is needed in default.

Note: You may set a new password by clicking the Tools tab after you enter the Web Configuration page

Under the main web interface page you will see the following configuration menu on the top: BASIC, ADVANCED, TOOLS, STATUS, HELP. Check below for detail information on each section.

Once you’re logged into the web control interface of the TT™5800X/TT™2400X you’re presented with the following home page first:

Status

Device Information

The default status page is Device Information. All of your Internet and network connection details are displayed on this page. The firmware version is also displayed here. You can do DHCP release and renew from this page when DHCP client is enabled.

Wireless

Associated Wireless Client List

Use this option to view the wireless clients that are connected to your wireless AP gateway. You may need to reload this page to see new changes. Click the button below to reload automatically.

The WIRELESS STATUS page on SU interface is slightly different, shows the Available AP list.

Routing

Routing Table

The routing section displays all of the routing details configured for your router.

A value of 0.0.0.0 for gateway means there is no next hop, and the IP address is directly connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN. A value of 0.0.0.0 in both the destination IP and netmask means that this is the default route.

Logs

System Logs

Use this option to view the router logs. You can define what types of events you want to view and the event levels to view. This router also has external syslog server support so you can send the log files to a computer on your network that is running a syslog utility.
