User’s Guide About this Guide About this Guide Purpose This document provides information and procedures on hardware installation, setup, configuration, and management of the Gemtek Systems 54Mbps Operator Access Point P-520r. Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts and wireless Internet access infrastructures.
User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction Chapter 1 – Introduction Thank you for choosing the Gemtek Systems 54Mbps Operator Access Point model P-520r. The Gemtek Systems P-520r is a Carrier-Grade Wi-Fi Access Point designed to provide reliable and secure wireless access to an operator network or enterprise LAN.
User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction Management Options There are several managing and monitoring interfaces available to the operator to configure and manage the P-520r on your network: Web-browser Interface SNMP Management (SNMP v1, v2c) Gemtek Management System (GMS) This user manual provides detailed description of Web and SNMP management option.
User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction DHCP client Remote software update SNMPv1, SNMPv2, incl. traps, MIB-II, IEEE-802.11, Gemtek general Private MIB Operating Modes The P-520r Access Point can work in different operating modes: Access Point (AP) mode: In AP mode the P-520r can connect multiple wireless client stations to a wired network. The Local Area Network and the Wireless Network are from the same IP address space.
User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction Wireless Bridge: The first use of the WDS, Wireless Bridge mode is to create the wireless bridge between two or more wired networks, for example networks in different buildings with no wired connections between them. All APs in a WDS have to be configured for the same radio channel and must be configured with their WDS partner AP BSSIDs (MAC addresses). The data being transported is bridged transparently; i.e.
User’s Guide Chapter 1 – Introduction Wireless Repeater: The other use of the WDS, Wireless Repeater mode is to extend wireless area coverage between wired and wireless networks. This mode is normally used in large, open areas, where pulling a wire is prohibited or not cost effective and in residential circumstances. By settings up the BSSIDs (MAC addresses) between AP’s WDS partners, stations can intersect with any AP of this BSSID and move between the coverage of both APs.
User’s Guide Chapter 2 – Installation Chapter 2 – Installation This chapter provides installation instructions for the hardware and software components of the P-520r Operator Access Point.
