AP-4000MR User Guide Introduction 1 This chapter contains information on the following: • Introduction to Wireless Networking • Mesh Networking • Guidelines for Roaming • Management and Monitoring Capabilities Introduction to Wireless Networking An Access Point extends the capability of an existing Ethernet network to devices on a wireless network. Wireless devices can connect to a single Access Point, or they can move between multiple Access Points located within the same vicinity.
Introduction Mesh Networking AP-4000MR User Guide Mesh Networking Using the ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol (OMCP), the AP-4000MR supports structured Mesh networking. In a Mesh network, access points use their wireless interface as a backhaul to the rest of the network. Access points connected directly to the wired infrastructure are called “Portals;” Mesh Access Points relay packets to other Mesh Access Points to reach the Portal, dynamically determining the best route over multiple “hops.
Introduction Mesh Networking AP-4000MR User Guide • Active: Link with a Mesh neighbor that has gone through association and authentication, and the port is open. • Connected: Link with a Mesh neighbor that has gone through association and authentication, but the port is closed. • Disconnected: Possible link to a Mesh neighbor that has not gone through association and authentication. From the neighbor table, MAP2 through MAP8 will select the best possible connection to the backbone network.
Introduction Mesh Networking AP-4000MR User Guide Figure 1-4 Mesh Startup Topology Example – Step 3 In this example, if MAP8 loses the Mesh link to MP9, MAP8 will immediately activate the Mesh link to MAP7. If the link to MAP7 has a higher path cost than a possible link to MAP4, which has the same Mesh SSID and security mode but is on a different channel, then MAP7 may decide to switch channels and establish and activate a link to MAP4.
Introduction Guidelines for Roaming AP-4000MR User Guide If the conditions on your network are different than the assumptions above, then the maximum number of APs should be adjusted accordingly. NOTE: Clients whose traffic must traverse multiple hops in order to reach the portal will have lower throughput than clients whose traffic traverses fewer hops.
Introduction Management and Monitoring Capabilities • Command Line Interface • SNMP Management • SSH (Secure Shell) Management AP-4000MR User Guide HTTP/HTTPS Interface The HTTP Interface (Web browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.), over the Internet, or with a “crossover” Ethernet cable connected directly to your computer’s Ethernet Port.
Introduction Management and Monitoring Capabilities AP-4000MR User Guide SNMPv3 Secure Management SNMPv3 is based on the existing SNMP framework, but addresses security requirements for device and network management. The security threats addressed by Secure Management are: • Modification of information: An entity could alter an in-transit message generated by an authorized entity in such a way as to effect unauthorized management operations, including the setting of object values.

Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide • 802.11g only mode: The radio is optimized to communicate with 802.11g devices. This setting will provide the best results if this radio interface will only communicate with 802.11g devices. • 802.11b/g mode: This is the default mode. Use this mode if you want to support a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g devices. • 802.11g-wifi mode: The 802.11g-wifi mode has been defined for Wi-Fi testing purposes.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide NOTE: Turbo mode and Mesh mode (either Mesh AP or Mesh Portal) can not be enabled on the same interface simultaneously. IEEE 802.11d Support for Additional Regulatory Domains The IEEE 802.11d specification allows conforming equipment to operate in more than one regulatory domain over time. IEEE 802.11d support allows the AP to broadcast its radio’s regulatory domain information in its beacon and probe responses to clients.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide In addition, ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) is a feature to automatically adapt transmit power when the quality of the link is more than sufficient to maintain a good communication with reduced transmit power. This feature is required for FCC DFS. It works by monitoring the quality of the link and reducing the output power of the radio by up to 6 dB when good link quality can still be achieved.

Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide DCS can be configured using the following interfaces: • • • Web (HTTP) Interface Command Line Interface (CLI) MIB (SNMP) Requirements Web (HTTP) Interface The HTTP Interface (Web browser Interface) provides easy access to configuration settings and network statistics from any computer on the network. You can access the HTTP Interface over your LAN (switch, hub, etc.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide MIB (SNMP) Requirements DCS feature can be managed and monitored by MIB objects too. All the configuration parameters are present for both Interface A and Interface B separately. The oriWirelessIfDCSThreshold object stores the DCS Threshold from 1 to 10. See the table below for defaults and units for all objects.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces • AP-4000MR User Guide In compliance with FCC regulations, the AP uses ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) to automatically adapt transmit power when the quality of the link is more than sufficient to maintain a good communication with reduced transmit power. See Transmit Power Control/Transmit Power Level for more information. DFS is required for three purposes: 1. Radar avoidance both at startup and while operational.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide Transparent Mode Transparent mode is the default mode and is equivalent to the NO VLAN support. The VLAN receievs both the tagged and untagged frames from the network. Transparent mode simply forwards both the tagged and untagged frames received on the Ethernet port to WDS, Mesh or BSS and is not able to read any VLAN information.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide Trunk Mode Trunk mode works as a filter. Trunk links provide VLAN identification for frames travelling between switches. Once this mode is enabled, the frames received from the WDS, Mesh or wireless ports are filtered and compared with the trunk tables entries. The device percolates the incoming frames comparing with the trunk table data and forwards to the respective ports. The trunk table is configurable on the Access Point.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide Management VLAN Configuration Trunk Mode: In trunk mode if any management VLAN ID is configured then that management VLAN ID should present in trunk table, then only we can able to manage the device. Access Mode : In Access mode if any management VLAN ID is configured then that management VLAN ID should be same as Access VLAN ID, then only we can able to manage the device .
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide Figure 4-16 Web Interface configuration NOTE: By default, the speed and transaction mode is auto-speed-auto-duplex and VLAN mode is Transparent. NOTE: Ethernet VLAN is Enabled and Mgnt VID is not present in Access/Trunk table, user can’t be able to manage AP using Ethernet interface. Based upon the modes you select, the Access VLAN ID, Access Priority and the VLAN text fields also vary, either enabled or disabled, or both enabled and disabled.
Advanced Configuration Interfaces AP-4000MR User Guide Command Line Interface (CLI) See the Command Line Interface (CLI) section in Appendix A. SNMP VLAN can be configured through SNMP with MIB objects. Note that this requires an SNMP manager program like HP Openview or Castlerock’s SNMPc.

AP-4000MR User Guide Troubleshooting 7 This chapter provides information on the following: • Troubleshooting Concepts • Symptoms and Solutions • Recovery Procedures • Related Applications NOTE: This section helps you locate problems related to the AP device setup. For details about RADIUS, TFTP, serial communication programs (such as HyperTerminal), Telnet applications, or web browsers, please see the documentation that came with the respective application for assistance.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000MR User Guide Symptoms and Solutions Connectivity Issues Connectivity issues include any problem that prevents you from powering up or connecting to the AP. AP Unit Will Not Boot - No LED Activity 1. Make sure your power source is operating. 2. Make sure all cables are connected to the AP correctly. 3. If you are using PoE, make sure you are using a Category 5, foiled, twisted pair cable to power the AP. Serial Link Does Not Work 1.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000MR User Guide 2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your network’s DHCP server is not available while the AP is booting, the device will use the default IP address (169.254.128.132). Reboot the AP once your DHCP server is on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the Access Point’s current IP address. 3.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000MR User Guide 5. If you have a problem uploading a file, verify that the TFTP server is configured to allow uploads (typically the default setting is to allow only downloads). Client Connection Problems Client Software Finds No Connection Make sure you have configured your client software with the proper Network Name and Security settings. Network Names and WEP Keys are typically allocated and maintained by your network administrator.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000MR User Guide CAUTION: The Forced Reload procedure disconnects all users and resets all values to factory defaults. CMOB Operation Issues • Client Computer can not connect to a CMOB-enabled SSID — The PXU profile should have at least one PXU Module (Primary/Secondary) enabled — The AP should be registered with the PXU Module — The PXU Module (that the AP is registered with) should be registered with the Current Master PXU Module.
Troubleshooting Symptoms and Solutions AP-4000MR User Guide “Overload” Indications 1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the PoE output port and the AP. 2. Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables. 3. Move the device into a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly); if it works, there is probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 connection.
Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures AP-4000MR User Guide Recovery Procedures The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address, you will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP. IP Address management is fundamental. We suggest you create a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system. If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP to default values.
Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures AP-4000MR User Guide Because the CLI option requires a physical connection to the unit’s serial port, Proxim recommends the ScanTool option. Download a New Image Using ScanTool To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single computer running both programs).
Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures AP-4000MR User Guide Preparing to Download the AP Image Before starting, you need to know the Access Point’s IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the AP Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image to be downloaded. Download Procedure 1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com. 2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s default directory. 3.
Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures AP-4000MR User Guide The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few seconds within the TFTP server’s status screen. 8. When the download process is complete, configure the AP. Setting IP Address using Serial Port Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically provides the AP IP address.
Troubleshooting Recovery Procedures AP-4000MR User Guide Figure 7-1 Result of “show ip” CLI Command 6. Change the IP address and other network values using set and reboot CLI commands, similar to the example below (use your own IP address and subnet mask). Note that IP Address Type is set to Dynamic by default.
Troubleshooting Related Applications AP-4000MR User Guide Related Applications RADIUS Authentication Server If you enabled RADIUS Authentication on the AP, make sure that your network’s RADIUS servers are operational. Otherwise, clients will not be able to log in.
