ACRONYMS & DEFINITIONS

Acronym Definition

BS Base Station, sometimes called Access Point (AP). A BS can connect to one or more SA mode radios. WDS and IBR mode radios cannot be used in a BS network.

WDS Wireless Distribution System. These are similar to BS except interconnected wirelessly. BS mode radios cannot be used in WDS networks. Communicates with SA mode radios.

SAI Station Adapter. Communicates with BS and WDS mode radios,

IBR Interbuilding Bridge with Repeat. All radios in a IBR network are set to IBR mode and assigned the same RF channel.

ESSID Extended Service Set Identifier. Identifies a network and may be RF broadcast on a beacon from BS and WDS radios.

BSSID Basic Service Set Identifier. In ESSID networks with more than one BS or WDS, BSSID uniquely identifies a specific BS or WDS. In these radios BSSID is the radio’s wireless MAC address.

SKILLS - ETHERNET NETWORKS

¨ Require understanding and configuration of Ethernet· Ethernet wired media· MAC address· IP Address· Subnet Mask

¨ Be able to· Configure a computer’s Network Interface Card

(NIC)· Use commands such as ping, ipconfig· Use Internet Explorer

48

INITIAL FLC CONFIGURATION

¨ Press and hold the reset button (5 seconds) until the status light flashes rapidly

¨ The FLC now in factory default (IP address: 192.168.1.1)¨ Determine PC NIC to use for configuration. Configure it like this:

· Record current settings for later restoration· Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0· IP Address: 192.168.1.10 (suggested)

First three octants must be 192.168.1.xxx xxx can be any address from 2 to 254

¨ CAT5 cable the FLC to your NIC. The FLC LAN light illuminates· Direct PC to FLC connection may require a cross CAT5 cable· Using a switch or hub typically requires straight CAT5 cables

¨ Test connectivity:· Open a PC command prompt (DOS box)· Ping the FLC by entering “ping 192.168.1.1”.· There must be ping replies or something is wrong.

¨ Use a Web Browser and enter URL: 192.168.1.1

STEPS FROM CONCEPT TO SOLUTION

¨ Identify and understand customer requirements¨ Will the FLC910E/ FLC830E meet requirements?¨ Prepare an architecture/area diagram depicting data

equipment and site locations¨ Identify the network area – Site Survey

· Evaluate each RF path for LOS and distance· If outdoors a software site survey is advised· Perform an on-site survey· For each site determine coax and antenna needs

¨ Procure equipment¨ Configure and bench test solution¨ Field deploy the solution beginning at main site¨ Perform startup and commissioning¨ Sustain the network

63

¨ This is shipping container carrier application. Requirements:· TCP/IP data· 1.5mbps

¨ What questions to ask, considerations and constraints?
