SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand Installation and Setup Guide
10
Each SkyExtender DualBand has 32 MAC addresses assigned to it. The MAC
address of the SkyExtender’s 5 GHz radio (as seen from the SkyGateway™) is
printed on the label affixed to the base of the SkyExtender DualBand. The
MAC address for the access point is 1 less than the MAC address of the
SkyExtender’s 5 GHz radio.
The MAC addresses reserved for use by WLAN SSIDs (basic SSIDs, or BSSIDs)
begin with the MAC address on the label at the bottom of the SkyExtender
DualBand minus-31.
MAC addresses use a base-16 (hexadecimal) system in which the letters A–F
represent numbers 10–15. For example, if the MAC address of the
SkyExtender DualBand is 00 0A DB 01 31 9F, the reserved addresses start with
the MAC address 00 0A DB 01 31 80.
o
Setup information for the access point:
o
A (case-sensitive) wireless SSID for each virtual WLAN Wi-Fi network
o
A unique IP address for the management of the access point if it’s not
connected to a DHCP server
o
A default gateway and subnet mask for the management network if the
access point is not on the same subnet as your PC
NOTE
Plan on configuring the SkyExtender DualBand before mounting it.
Some steps, such as those requiring a serial cable, are easier if the
access point is more accessible.
