Requirements
• AP-1800 Access Point and Power Supply
• TR-1800 Beltpack and Battery
•
Computer with an Ethernet port and IPedit Software
installed
• Standard Ethernet Cable
Prepare the Hardware
• Verify the
antennas
are mounted on the access point.
Use IPedit to Configure the AP-1800 Access
Point
NOTE
: If the AP-1800 you plan to use is already part of
an operating system, then none of the following
configuration is required.
Network Configuration
NOTE
: By Default, the AP-1800 is configured to automatically
receive an IP Address (link-local or DHCP). If the
network addressing scheme of the
AP-1800 is unknown, a factory restore sets the unit
back to the default configuration.
• Link-Local addressing:
If the AP-1800 and computer are connected directly,
the computer network configuration should be
changed to a link-local address (see instructions
below).
• DHCP Server addressing:
If the AP-1800 and computer are connected to a
network with DHCP server, the computer should be
set up to receive an IP Address automatically.
•
Static-IP Address addressing:
If the AP-1800 uses static IP Address addressing,
the computer network configuration should be
changed to an IP Address belonging to the same
network.
