11 ACQUIRINGPROFICIENCIES
Designing and operating a Cyclone network requires fundamental knowledge of radio
frequency transmission and reception, Internet Protocol addressing schemes,
experimentation with Cyclone equipment, and for most operators participation in some
forms of Cyclone training.
11.1 UNDERSTANDINGRFFUNDAMENTALS
Cyclone training and user interfaces presume an understanding of RF fundamentals.
Excellent written sources for these fundamentals are available. One such source is
Deploying License-Free Wireless Wide-Area Networks by Jack Unger (ISBN 1-58705-
069-2), published by Cisco Press.
11.2 UNDERSTANDINGIPFUNDAMENTALS
Cyclone training and user interfaces also presume an understanding of Internet Protocol
(IP) fundamentals. Excellent written sources for these fundamentals are available. One
such source is Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 24 Hours by Joe Casad
(ISBN 0-672-32085-1), published by Sams Publishing.
NOTE:
The default IP address of each Cyclone component is 169.254.1.1.
