5. Configuration

You need to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point if:

❑ There is more than one RangeLAN2 Access Point on this network, for example

in a roaming environment

❑ You need to change the software default values, including IP addresses

❑ You want to set security IDs on your network

There are five ways to configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point:

❑ Locally via a null modem cable and a terminal or terminal emulation package

❑ Remotely across the network using a telnet session

❑ Remotely across dial-up modems

❑ Remotely across the network using an SNMP management package

❑ Remotely across the network via a Web browser

Locally (Out-of-band)

You may use the DB-9 Local Management Port on the back of the Access Point to

configure the unit. To locally configure the RangeLAN2 Access Point, you need a null

modem RS-232 cable with a nine pine female connector on the Access Point side and a

terminal or PC with an available serial port running a terminal application package.

Note:

If you use a terminal application that has the option to check for the CD signal

before establishing a connection, configure the software to ignore CD.

Alternatively, verify that your null modem cable is a full handshake cable and

pulls CD high.
