Signal Distribution in the MA 850
The MA 850 distributes the 802.11b/g signals from each AP port to the corresponding antenna
port. For example, the signals from an AP connected to MA 850
b/g-1
are routed to
antenna-
1
; signals from an AP connected to MA 850
b/g-2
are routed to
antenna-2
, etc.
Note: Mobile services (in installations where MA 850 units are integrated into MA 1000/2000
installations), the mobile services are distributed over the antenna ports corresponding to the
SMA connection ports.

Commissioning and Monitoring
MA 850 requires no local commissioning. The unit is assigned a default IP address (labeled on its
network port) which can be remotely redefined using the procedure in section
4.2.1. No other
setup procedure is required: after the unit ports and cables are connected, the unit can be
remotely accessed for monitoring and management.
In addition, MA 850 provides MIBs that enables viewing traps and configuring the unit through
standard SNMP (Version 2.0) managers such as HP OpenView (see Chapter
5 ).
NOTE:
MA service personnel can perform setup procedures on the MA 850, through a
connection from a computer running the Configuration Tool application supplied by MA.
