Different LAN IDs

Using separate LAN IDs for each radio option configures all

access points with different radios into a distinct network

regardless of radio type. It may be more appropriate if the

installation topology or applications supported do not fit the

alternative that uses the same LAN ID. OWLView shows

two distinct LANs for this type of installation.

Creating a Web Browser Session

" NOTE:

The access point’s configuration menus are designed for HTML

Level 2.0 or higher.

Before you can configure the access point through a Web

browser, you must connect the unit to the Ethernet cable.

(See Section 3, “Installation,” for help.) You must also

perform initial configuration through the DIAG port to:

"

Set an IP address or DHCP server name. You should

also configure a subnet mask and IP router address.

"

Set the Ethernet cable type.

" NOTE:

The access point includes an autodetect feature that senses the

Ethernet medium if traffic is present. If no traffic is present on the

cable, the system software defaults to 10BASE-T. For most

installations, it is recommended that you explicitly set the Ethernet

type.

The access point must go through its boot sequence before

you can configure it through the browser. If you reboot it

while you are configuring it through the browser, the

session terminates. You can create a new session after the

access point reboots. To establish a browser session, see

Figure 4-6 and the procedure following it.
