Installing the RoamAbout R2
This chapter provides the procedures to install the RoamAbout R2 and its options. It also
provides the basic configurations using the console, RoamAbout AP Manager, Telnet, and
R2 Web Management. Refer to the Roamabout 802.11 Wireless Networking Guide for
additional configuration information.
Make sure the site primary power for the RoamAbout R2 conforms to the specifications
detailed in Chapter 2, Cabling and Wiring.
If you are using the AP Manager to configure the RoamAbout R2s with IP addresses, you
should start the AP Manager BEFORE
applying power to each RoamAbout R2. Upon
power-up, each RoamAbout R2 automatically sends a BootP request.
If you plan to use the RoamAbout AP Manager program, write down the MAC address
listed on the side of the RoamAbout R2. For a LAN-to-LAN configuration, also write down
the MAC address on the back of the PC Card, which is the wireless MAC address.
