STEP 3—CONFIGURE THE AP

The instructions below summarize essential AP settings for tabletop
testing. For detailed AP log-in and menu navigation instructions, see

ACCESSING THE MENU SYSTEM

on Page 36.

Log-in and Configuration

The AP must be configured first, as Remote transceivers depend on the
AP beacon signal to achieve a connected (linked) state.

Figure 2-5

shows the basic setup for configuring an AP with a personal computer.

Figure 2-5. AP Configuration Setup

Console Terminal

Connection

(recommended for

first-time log-in)

To configure the AP via a console terminal:

1. Connect a PC to the

COM1

port on the radio.

2. Establish a terminal session (using HyperTerminal, for example)

using the following data parameters:

• 19200 bps
• 8 bits
• no parity
• one stop bit (8N1)
• hardware flow control disabled
• VT100 emulation

NOTE:

The exact parameters given above must be used for console
terminal communication. Improper settings are a common
cause of difficulty.

Telnet Connection

Using the AP LAN

Port (a valid IP

address must be set)

To configure the AP via its

LAN

port:

1. Connect a PC Ethernet port to the AP with an Ethernet crossover

cable.

NOTE:

The radio must first have a valid IP address programmed—the
default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

2. Log in to the AP as follows:
