Configuring the Access Point
To configure the Access Point to communicate with end
nodes or repeaters, you must first use the Console Port to
set the following parameters - SID, Bitrate/Frequency (or
Channel), Root Mode. If you set an IP address now, you will
be able to Telnet to the unit.
The Console Port can be accessed directly by connecting
the Access Point to an EIA-232-E terminal emulation
program or by running a Telnet session from a remote on a
network.
Console Port
To start the Console Port, set the EIA-232-E terminal (or PC
running a terminal emulation program) to
9600 Baud, No-
Parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit
.
Power-on the Access Point and the terminal and then type
Yes or No when prompted for the ANSI or Teletype
command.
The Console Port consists of a main menu and a series of
sub-menus containing the configuration parameters. Simply
type the name of the parameter or the menu number and
then press ENTER.
