Connecting to the
BelAir20E
You can connect to the BelAir20E default address using one of the following
methods:
• through the BelAir20E radio interface
• by connecting directly to the Ethernet port on the BelAir20E
CAUTION!
Do not connect the BelAir20E to an operational data network before you
configure its desired IP network parameters. This may cause traffic disruptions
due to potentially duplicated IP addresses.
The BelAir20E unit must connect to an isolated LAN, or to a desktop or laptop
PC configured to communicate on the same IP sub-network as the BelAir20E.
Using the Radio Interface
Use a desktop or laptop PC equipped with a wireless 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g
or 802.11n compliant interface as required, configured with a static IP address
on the same subnet as the default OAM IP address (for example, 10.1.1.1/24).
For the required configuration procedure, refer to your PC and wireless
interface configuration manuals or contact your network administrator. The PC
will connect to the BelAir20E through the radio interface.

For a detailed procedure, refer to the
