Single or Dual Mode Radio Options
Two possible configurations are available on the access point. Altitude 3510-US (part number 15720) and
Altitude 3510-ROW (part number 15721) are manuafactured as a dual-radio access point, the access
point enables you to configure one radio for 802.11a support, and the other for 802.11b/g support. The
Altitude 3510-IL access point (part number 15723) supports 802.11b/g only. However, an Altiude 3550
model access point (part number 15722 or 15726) is only available in a dual-radio model.
Separate LAN and WAN Ports
The access point has one LAN port and one WAN port, each with their own MAC address. The access
point must manage all data traffic over the LAN connection carefully as either a DHCP client, BOOTP
client, DHCP server or using a static IP address. The access point can only use a Power-over-Ethernet
device when connected to the LAN port.
For detailed information on configuring the Altitude 35xx LAN port, see “Configuring the LAN
Interface” on page 113 .
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widely dispersed telecommunications network. In a corporate
environment, the WAN port might connect to a larger corporate network. For a small business, the
WAN port might connect to a DSL or cable modem to access the Internet. Regardless, network address
information must be configured for the Altitude 35xx’s intended mode of operation.
For detailed information on configuring the access point’s WAN port, see “Configuring WAN Settings”
on page 125 .
The LAN and WAN port MAC addresses can be located within the LAN and WAN Stats screens.
For detailed information on locating the access point’s MAC addresses, see “Viewing WAN Statistics”
on page 231 and “Viewing LAN Statistics” on page 234 . For information on access point MAC address
assignments, see “Altitude 35xx MAC Address Assignment” on page 32 .
Multiple Mounting Options
The access point rests on a flat surface, attaches to a wall, mounts under a ceiling or above a ceiling
(attic). Choose a mounting option based on the physical environment of the coverage area. Do not
mount the access point in a location that has not been approved in either an Altitude 3510 or outdoor
Altitude 3550 radio coverage site survey.
For detailed information on the mounting options available, see “Mounting an Altitude 3510” on
page 41 or “Mounting an Altitude 3550” on page 49 .
Antenna Support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Radios
The Altitude 35xx access point supports several 802.11a and 802.11b/g radio antennas. Select the
antenna best suited to the radio transmission requirements of your coverage area.
