6. If it is not possible to receive an adequate RSSI reading, it may be necessary to reorient the AP
(up/down, left/right), to increase the output power of the AP, or to move the SU to a location with
better line-of-sight conditions to the AP.
Once you are satisfied with the RSSI reading, tighten down the SU in the optimum position. To stop the
RSSI continuous readout, hit SPACE ENTER.
Note: The amber light on the bottom of the SU will also indicate RSSI according to the following
parameters:
RSSI< -80dBm not lit
RSSI > -80dBm
blinking.
RSSI
≥
-65dBm
solid. (blink rate increases with signal strength.)
Link Test
Ensure the SU’s default opmode is “SU” and that all configuration parameters are correct.
Reboot the radio. Once the radio enters opmode “SU”, the authentication process will occur with the AP,
and the two radios will begin to associate. From the AP side, use the basic diagnostics commands such as
su ping, su status, and su testrflink
to ensure that a reliable RF link has been established. It may take one
minute or more for the association process to complete. This process may take longer if there are many
SU’s in the sector.
If all tests show favorable results, the wireless link will automatically begin passing Ethernet traffic
between the radios.
Managing your Access5830 Network
Network Setup
The Access5830 is an “AP”centric system, meaning that the AP controls most functions of its associated
SU’s. For this reason it is important to consider that you will manage your Access5830 system
management primarily through the AP.
Network management can be performed by three methods
•
Command Line Interface
•
Http interface
- See Appendix 2, HTTP Interface
•
SNMP Manager - See the Access5830 SNMP Guide for more details.
Command Line Interface
Most management functions of the SU can be performed by issuing commands from the AP. Presented
below are a few examples of these commands:
Change SU’s password for a single SU or all SU’s in sector:
su password <all|suid> <pwd> <pwd>
Example:
su password 7 hello hello :
to change the password on SU#7 to “hello”
Change the SU’s IP, subnet, and gateway:
su ipconfig <new ip> <new subnet> <new gateway>
Example:
su ipconfig 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.0 255.255.0.0
