Access Point 3000 Overview
The Enterasys Networks Wireless Access Point 3000 is an IEEE
802.11a/b/g (RBT3K-AG & RBT3K-AG-G), or an IEEE 802.11b/g
only (RBT3K-1G), access point that provides transparent,
wireless high-speed data communications between the wired
LAN and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with an
802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter.
This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with
considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include
long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using 802.11a,
802.11b, and 802.11g technology, this access point can easily
replace a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection and provide seamless
integration into a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN.
In addition, the access point offers full network management
capabilities through an easy to configure web interface, and a
command line interface for initial configuration and
troubleshooting.
Installation
Please read the Regulatory, FCC, and specification information
before you install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000.
To install the RoamAbout Access Point 3000, perform the
following steps:
1. Select a site. Choose a proper place for the access point. The
best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area,
within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the
access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service
Set. Normally, the higher you place the access point, the
better the performance.
FCC CAUTION: Changes or modifications made to
this device which are not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should
perform installation procedures.
Caution: Ensure that you wear the ESD (Electrical Static
Discharge) strap during the installation.

2. Mount the access point. The access point can be mounted on
any horizontal surface or wall.
a. Mounting on a horizontal surface.
To keep the access point from sliding on the surface,
attach the four rubber feet provided in the accessory kit to
the embossed circles on the bottom of the access point.
b. Mounting on a wall.
Locate at least two mounting holes/slots on the mounting
bracket that line up with a wall stud. Use two screws to
secure the mounting bracket to the wall stud. Use plastic
anchors, or self-anchoring screws to secure the mounting
bracket to the wallboard. Then, slide the access point
down onto the screws until the screws are secure.
3. Lock the access point in place to prevent unauthorized
removal of the access point. You can use a Kensington Slim
MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access
point to a fixed object.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable. The access point can be wired to
a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a network device, such as a
hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ-45 port on
the back panel with category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable. When the
access point and the connected device are powered on, the
Ethernet Link LED should light indicating a valid network
connection.
5. Connect the console port. Connect the console cable
(included) to the RS-232 console port to access the
command-line interface.
6. Connect the power adapter to the access point, and the
power cord to an AC power outlet. Otherwise, the access
point can derive its operating power directly from the RJ-45
port when connected to a device that provides IEEE 802.3af
compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE).
7. Observe the self test. When you power on the access point,
verify that the PWR indicator stops flashing and remains on,
and that the other indicators start functioning. If the PWR
LED does not stop flashing, the self test has not completed
correctly. Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware
Installation and Configuration Guide for troubleshooting
information.
8. Position the antennas.The antennas emit signals along a
plane perpendicular to the antenna (with the propagation
pattern shaped as a toroidal sphere), and provide more
effective coverage when positioned along different axes. For
example, you might position the antennas 45 to 90 degrees
from each other.
Accessing the Configuration Screens
The Enterasys Networks Access Point 3000 includes a
web-based interface and a direct connection to the console port
for management. You can also manage the Access Point 3000
using Enterasys Networks NetSight.
Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation
and Configuration Guide for complete information.
Initial Setup Using the Console Port
To connect to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal,
or a PC running terminal emulation software, and tighten
the captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial
port on the access point.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as
follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or 2).
• Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity.
• Set the flow control to none.
• Set the emulation mode to VT100.
• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not
Windows keys.
4. Once you have set up the terminal correctly, press the
[Enter] key to initiate the console connection. The console
login screen is displayed.
5. Log in by entering admin for the user name and
password for the password.
Accessing Web Management
To access the Access Point web management, perform the
following steps:
1. Enter the default IP address: http://192.168.1.1 in your
browser window.
2. Enter the username admin and the password password,
and click on LOGIN.
Using NetSight
To use NetSight, refer to the documentation that shipped
with the software.
Configuration Information Location
Configuration information is located in the RoamAbout
Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation and Configuration
Guide, located on the CD-ROM included in the kit, or
available from www.enterasys.com/wireless.
Note: The RJ-45 port on the access point uses an MDI pin
configuration, you must use straight-through cable for
network connections to hubs or switches that only have
MDI-X ports, and crossover cable for network connections
to PCs, servers or other end nodes that only have MDI
ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting
supports auto-MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use either
straight-through or crossover cable.

Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft®
Windows® 2000, make sure that you have Windows
2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. Windows 2000
Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not
functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. See
