remain in "key exchange mode," waiting for more SUs to be attached. Once all new SUs have been
attached, the AP must be power cycled. The AP will boot up and will enter normal operation after 5 seconds
of "key exchange mode."
NOTE: Broadcast and multicast packets (example: DHCP, UDP) are sent once and may experience losses at
extended range. Unicast packets (example: HTTP, TCP) are sent using advanced error correction and
retransmission techniques to ensure delivery.
1.
Select the radio that will operate as the Access Point (AP) and set DIP switch 1 ON.
2.
Turn on power to the access point.
The LINK QUALITY LEDs will blink sequentially showing that the radio is hunting for a
subscriber unit (SU) to share keys with.
3.
Select the radio that will operate as the Subscriber Unit (SU) and set DIP switch 1 OFF.
4.
Turn on power to the subscriber unit.
The LINK QUALITY LEDs will blink sequentially showing the radio is hunting for an AP to
supply a network key.
5.
Connect an Ethernet CAT5 cable from the AP to the SU and the units will automatically exchange keys
over the Ethernet cable (key exchange will not work through a switch or hub - crossover cables are not
required).
On the AP, the LINK QUALITY LEDs will still show that the radio is still in "key exchange
mode" and the RF TX LED will be lit showing that the keys exchanged successfully - ignore the
other LEDs.
On the SU, the LINK QUALITY LEDs no longer blink sequentially and will show that the radio
has stopped hunting and now has a slowly blinking pulse on one of the GREEN LINK QUALITY
LEDs - Ignore the other LEDs.
6.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all SUs are successfully programmed.
7.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
8.
Power cycle all radios for the new keys to take effect.
9.
Deploy the radios.
1.9.1 To add NEW subscriber units to the access point
1.
Disconnect the AP from the network and disconnect power from the AP.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the AP to the SU (key exchange will not work through a switch or hub -
crossover cables are not required).
3.
Plug in the NEW SU, then plug in the AP. The units will automatically exchange keys over the Ethernet
cable.
4.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all SUs are successfully programmed.
5.
Power cycle all radios for the new keys to take effect.
6.
Reconnect the AP to the network and deploy the new SU radios.
