Establishing a Wireless Link
Once an SU is added to the SU database, you are ready to establish a wireless link. In order to establish a
wireless link, the following parameters must be true.
1. Base ID in AP and SU must match.
2. SU ID and MAC ID in AP’s SU database and SU must match.
3. AP’s RF Channel and Polarization must exist in the SU’s channel scan table.
4. AP must be in opmode “AP”.
5. SU must be in opmode “SU”.
6. Adequate signal strength received at each radio.
If all of these parameters are met, and if the AP and SU are within range - and properly aligned, the
wireless link will automatically establish itself and Ethernet traffic will begin to pass between the radios.
To ensure each of these parameters is met, perform the following steps, or use default settings:
Access Point
1. Telnet into radio.
2. Set Base ID (or use default 1) (
set baseid X)
3. Set IP, subnet, and gateway
(ipconfig IP address subnet gateway)
4. Set channel and polarization
(freqwritescan ch pol)
5. Set default opmode to AP
(
set defaultopmode AP
)
6. Set opmode to AP
(opmode AP)
7. Set the AP’s power to an acceptable level. For bench testing it is recommended to use the lowest
power setting, -8 dBm.
(power set –8)
8. Update system setting flash memory (
updateflash systemsetting
)
9. Add SU to SU database (
sudb add ……..)
10. Update SU database flash memory (
updateflash sudb
)
11. Verify all system settings by typing
sysinfo
and
sudb view
.
At this point the AP will begin actively searching for any SU in its SU database. Once an active SU is
detected, the authentication and association process will begin. The RED LED on the bottom of the AP
should be lit, indicating that the radio is in opmode “AP” and is radiating RF energy.
Subscriber Unit
1. Telnet into radio (must be while opmode is “OFF”).
2. Set Base ID (or use default 1) (
set baseid X)
3. Set SU ID (
set suid X
)
4. Set IP, subnet, and gateway
(ipconfig ip, subnet, gateway)
5. Set channel and polarization
(freqwritescan X X)
6. Set default opmode to SU
(
set defaultopmode SU
)
7. Update system setting flash memory (
updateflash systemsetting
)
8. Verify all system settings by typing
sysinfo
.
9. Reboot radio to activate the default opmode “SU” (
reboot
).
Note: this command will
automatically terminate your Telnet session.
At this point the SU will reboot itself and proceed into its “SU” opmode. If the two radios are generally
aligned, authentication and SU association will occur.
Association Concept (AP to SU communications)
The Access5830 uses the concept of “association” to indicate that AP’s and SU’s are communicating.
