How to Use this Guide

This user’s guide gives complete instructions for installation and use of the Outdoor
Access Point (AP).

Wireless products are supplied with factory set default network settings. Use the
WMS (WLAN Management System) tool to change the default settings before
introducing a new Outdoor Access Point to an already-established wireless network.

The WMS program is a simple-to-use, yet extremely powerful, SNMP-based utility
for online central configuration and network management from a remote station on
the same subnet. A trap management program is also provided to monitor/diagnose
the compatible products.

Read through the next section, “Planning the Network,” to learn how to get the best
possible performance from your wireless network.

Step 1: Plan the wireless network

See “Planning the Network” for details.

Step 2: Pre-configure the AP

before installing it on an
existing Ethernet
network

See “Hardware Pre-configuration” for details.

Step 3: Install the AP on the

Ethernet network

See “Install WLNA Management System,” for
details.

Step 4: Carry out on-line

configuration and
management of the AP
via WMS

See “Using the WLAN Management System” for
details.
