5. Configuration
You need to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point if:
❑
There is more than one RangeLAN2 Access Point on this network, for example
in a roaming environment
❑
You need to change the software default values, including IP addresses
❑
You want to set security IDs on your network
There are five ways to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point:
❑
Locally via a null modem cable and a terminal or terminal emulation package
❑
Remotely across the network using a telnet session
❑
Remotely across dial-up modems
❑
Remotely across the network using an SNMP management package
❑
Remotely across the network via a Web browser
Locally (Out-of-band)
You may use the DB-9 Local Management Port on the back of the Access Point to
configure the unit. To locally configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point, you need a null
modem RS-232 cable with a nine pine female connector on the Access Point side and a
terminal or PC with an available serial port running a terminal application package.
Note:
If you use a terminal application that has the option to check for the CD signal
before establishing a connection, configure the software to ignore CD.
Alternatively, verify that your null modem cable is a full handshake cable and
pulls CD high.
