USER’S MANUAL ADDENDUM

Matched Pair Bridges

Certain AvaLAN radios are sold as matched pairs, pre-congured as a wireless

Ethernet bridge. The manual supplied with the pair does not include information

about the pair conguration, hence this addendum.

This addendum applies to these products:

AW900xTR-PAIR AW2400xTR-PAIR AW5800xTR-PAIR

AW900iTR-PAIR AW2400iTR-PAIR

AW900xTP-PAIR AW2400xTP-PAIR AW5800xTP-PAIR

The pair conguration as shipped from the factory consists of these features:

1. One unit of the pair is congured as an Access Point and the other is cong-

ured as a Subscriber Unit.

2. The Access Point is given the IP Address 192.168.17.17.

3. The Subscriber Unit is given the IP Address 192.168.17.18.

4. User-specied encryption keys are disabled and the two radios are keyed to

each other using the “Auto-Key” method.

5. RF Channel selection is set to automatic mode.

If these conguration parameters work for you in your system, you need only to

connect antennas, power and LAN and the pair should work transparently, look-

ing just like an Ethernet cable.

If you need to change any of the pair’s parameters, you may use the browser

interface as described in the accompanying manual. You might need to do this if

you need to set the pair to a particular channel, or you wish to provide your own

encryption keys. If the default IP Addresses won’t work in your system, the best

way to change them is by using the ipnder utility described in the manual and

downloadable from www.avalanwireless.com.

In case of difculty, you may nd additional help under the Support tab on our

website or by contacting AvaLAN Technical Support using the information in the

manual.
