2. Quick Installation
You may follow the quick installation steps if the following conditions are true:
❑ There will only be one Extension Point on this network
❑ You will use all the software default values
❑ You do not need to configure an IP address for the Extension Point and do not
intend to manage it via telnet
❑ You will not be setting Security IDs on your network
If your installation meets the preceding criteria, proceed with the following instructions:
1. Attach each of the antennas onto the antenna connectors on the back
panel of the Extension Point.
Note
Government regulatory agencies mandate that the antenna not be alterable.
Therefore, the Extension Point uses a custom antenna connector. Use only
antennas that Proxim has certified for use with this unit. Contact Proxim
Sales to discuss your antenna configuration.
2. Mount the antennas so that the directional antenna for the BSA radio
points towards the desired coverage area, and the Backbone antenna
points towards the 7510/752x/753x Access Point or Extension Point
supporting the link. You may want to use the Antenna Pointing Tool.
3. Plug the power cable into the back of the Extension Point and into an
AC power outlet. Since there is no On/Off switch on the box, the unit
will turn on as soon as power is applied and search for a Master radio
with which to synchronize.
4. The default settings for the BSA created by the Extension Point are
Domain 0, Channel 2, Subchannel 2, Master Name of EP_MASTER.
