Connecting to the
BelAir100
You can connect to the BelAir100 default address using one of the following
methods:
• through the BelAir100 radio interface
• by connecting directly to the Ethernet port on the BelAir100
CAUTION!
Do not connect the BelAir100 to an operational data network before you
configure its desired IP network parameters. This may cause traffic disruptions
due to potentially duplicated IP addresses.
In all cases, the BelAir100 unit must connect to an isolated LAN, or to a
desktop or laptop PC configured to communicate on the same IP sub-network
as the BelAir100.
Using the Radio Interface
Use a desktop or laptop PC equipped with a wireless 802.11a, 802.11b or
802.11g compliant interface as required, configured with a static IP address on
the same subnet as the default OAM IP address (for example, 10.1.1.1/24). For
the required configuration procedure, refer to your PC and wireless interface
configuration manuals or contact your network administrator. The PC will
connect to the BelAir100 through the radio interface.
