When you are installing an AS-1200-BG-EXT, OAW-1250BGE, AS-1200-ABG-EXT, OAW-1250ABGE Airespace Access Point, an AS-1200-ABG-EXT-RE or OAW-1250ABGR Remote Edge Access Point (REAP) with internal 802.11a and 802.11b/g antennas and connectors for optional external 802.11a and 802.11b/g antennas, please refer to the External-Antenna Airespace Access Point Quick Installation Guide.•Overview •Step 1: Collecting Required Tools and Supplies •Step 2: Configuring the Airespace AP Before Installation •Step 3: Preparing Mounting Locations •Step 4: Mounting the Airespace APs •Step 5: Returning MAC Information •Planning Notes •FCC Statements for Airespace APs •Industry Canada Required User Information for Airespace APs ATTENTION!Special ConsiderationsWhile Airespace Access Points have been engineered for easy installation, there are some guidelines that are very important to the end users:•PLACE Airespace APs NO MORE THAN 140 FEET APART FROM EACH OTHER. Placing Airespace APs further apart almost always results in poor coverage.•DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs OUTSIDE BUILDINGS.•DO NOT MOUNT Airespace APs ON BUILDING PERIMETER WALLS UNLESS THE OPERATOR WANTS TO PROVIDE COVERAGE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.•MAKE SURE that plenum-mounted Airespace APs are powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) and use only the metal brackets (not the Ceiling-Mount Base or the Hanging-Ceiling Clips) to comply with safety regulations.
11/16/04 Internal-Antenna Airespace Access Point Quick Installation Guide 90-100905-000 Rev 1 2•MAKE SURE THAT Airespace APs ARE INSTALLED VERTICALLY. When Airespace APs are installed vertically, either standing up in a plenum or hanging from a ceiling, this creates the largest coverage area per Airespace AP. Hanging Airespace APs from the ceiling provides the best RF coverage.•DO NOT MOUNT Airespace AP ANTENNAS WITHIN ONE METER (3 FT.) OF ANY METAL OBSTRUCTIONS. THE RF WAVES FROM Airespace APs ARE BLOCKED AND/OR REFLECTED BY METAL OBJECTS, such as metal HVAC ducts, conduit, pipes, bookcases, elevator shafts, stairwells, and metal walls. REFER TO THE Airespace Access Point Deployment Guide BEFORE MOUNTING Airespace APs NEAR METAL OBSTRUCTIONS.•WHEN MOUNTING AN Airespace AP IN THE CORNER OF A RIGHT-ANGLE HALLWAY INTERSECTION, MOUNT THE Airespace AP AT A 45-DEGREE ANGLE TO THE TWO HALLWAYS. The Airespace AP internal antennas are not omnidirectional, and cover a larger area when mounted this way.
11/16/04 Overview 90-100905-000 Rev 1 3OverviewOverviewThis guide is designed to provide you with the information needed to mount AS-1200-BG-INT, OAW-1250BG, AS-1200-ABG-INT, and OAW-1250ABG Airespace Access Points (Airespace APs). Airespace APs are part of the innovative Airespace Wireless Enterprise Platform (Airespace System), and require no manual configuration after they are mounted. This document assumes that a site survey has been performed as described in the Airespace Access Point Deployment Guide document, that Airespace AP locations and mounting options have been selected, and that you have one Airespace AP per indicated location. After the site survey is done, you should have a map indicating the following:•Airespace AP locations.•Airespace AP mounting options: hanging from a ceiling, in the ceiling plenum, projecting away from the wall, flat against the wall, or using the Ceiling-Mount Bezel Kit.•Airespace AP power options: power supplied by the AC-to-DC power supply orderable from the factory, or Power over Ethernet (PoE) from the Airespace WLAN Switch, another network device, or a PoE injector/hub (usually located in a wiring closet).If you do not have a map, make one so you can record the MAC addresses from each location and return them to the to the person who is planning or managing this wireless network.Refer to the following sections to install the Airespace APs.For more details about Airespace AP installations, refer to the Planning Notes section at the end of this document.Note: Plenum-mounted Airespace APs and REAPs MUST BE powered using Power Over Ethernet (POE) to comply with safety regulations.Note: When mounting Airespace APs, make sure to maintain a 20 cm (8 in.) separa-tion between the Airespace APs and bystanders to comply with FCC RF exposure regulations. Refer to the FCC Statements for Airespace APs section for more information.

If you do not have a spare or depot Airespace Switch or Appliance that can be reconfigured back and forth between Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation, refer to RMA Procedures later in this document to RMA your version 1.2 Airespace APs.•Alternatively, you may have a version 2.0 Airespace Switch or Appliance that is part of a mobility group that can be reconfigured back and forth between Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation. If you do not have a mobility group of Airespace Switches and Appliances that can be recon-figured back and forth between Layer 2 and Layer 3 operation, refer to RMA Procedures later in this document to RMA your version 1.2 Airespace APs.Note: Perform either of the following two procedures on each Airespace AP BEFORE deploying the Airespace AP in its final location.Note: This procedure assumes that you are preparing a version 1.2 Airespace AP to interoperate with a version 2.0 Airespace Switch or Appliance. When you are preparing a version 1.2 Airespace AP to interoperate with a version 1.2 Airespace Switch or Appliance, use the procedure found in the version 1.2 Airespace Access Point Quick Installation Guide.
11/16/04 Step 2: Configuring the Airespace AP Before Installation 90-100905-000 Rev 1 6•If your version 1.2 Airespace AP(s) cannot be configured for any other reason using the following procedure, refer to RMA Procedures in the Airespace Product Guide.Configuration Steps for an Airespace APConfiguration Steps for an Airespace AP1. Configure the Airespace Switch or Appliance in LWAPP Layer 2 Mode (use the CLI command show switchconfig to determine the mode; if it is set to layer 3, use the CLI command config switchconfig mode L2 to change it to Layer 2). Make sure the Airespace Switch or Appliance DS Port is connected to the network. Use CLI, Web Browser and/or ACS procedures as described in the Airespace Switch and Appliance Quick Install Guide and the Airespace Product Guide. -Make sure Airespace AP ports are available (either Direct-Connect Mode or Appliance Mode).-Set the Airespace Switch or Appliance as the Master, so new Airespace APs always associate with it. Use the CLI command show network config to determine if the Airespace Switch or Appliance DS Port is the Master. If it is not, make it the Master with the CLI command properly, make sure to use the CLI command config network master-base disable.-Refer to the Airespace Product Guide for other settings.(Note that Layer 3 and Layer 2 LWAPP operation can be switched back and forth as described in the Solutions section of the Airespace Product Guide.)2. Take the Airespace AP out of the box and plug it into a front-panel 10Base-T connector on the Master Switch (Direct-Connect mode), or through the same subnet that Airespace Switch or Appliance is on (Appliance Mode).3. Apply power to the Airespace AP:-Use 802.3af-compliant Power Over Ethernet (PoE) from the Airespace Switch or Appliance or from an orderable inline power injector. If you do not have PoE available, use an orderable AC-to-48 VDC External Power Supply plugged into the side of the Airespace AP.-After powering up the Airespace AP, the RED Alarm LED comes on for a short period (about 15-20 seconds) and then all the LEDs blink sequentially back and forth, indicating that the Airespace AP is trying to find an Airespace Switch or Appliance to connect to. This can continue for up to five minutes. If the Airespace AP remains in this mode for more than five minutes, the Airespace AP is unable to find the Master Airespace Switch or Appliance. Check the connection between the Airespace AP and the Airespace Switch or Appliance and make sure the Airespace AP and the Airespace Switch or Appliance are on the same subnet. -If the power light does not come on, check the power (it can be powered either with Power over Ethernet or a from an orderable Airespace AP External Power Supply.-Make sure that a DHCP server is configured in the Airespace Switch or Appliance for the Management Interface using the CLI, Web Browser, or ACS interface, and that the DHCP server is operating correctly. -Once the Airespace AP finds the Airespace Switch or Appliance, it attempts to download the new Airespace Operating System code if the Airespace AP code version differs from the Airespace Switch or Appliance code version. While this is happening, the LEDs on the top of the Airespace AP blink on and off together. 4. Once the Airespace Operating System code download is successful, the Airespace AP reboots. The GREEN LED turns on and the two YELLOW LEDs indicate the states of the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. If any part of the network is disabled in the Airespace Switch or Appli-ance, the corresponding YELLOW LED remains off.
11/16/04 Step 2: Configuring the Airespace AP Before Installation 90-100905-000 Rev 1 7-Note that the Red LED can light for a short period (10-20 seconds) when the Airespace AP reboots. If the RED LED comes on AND STAYS ON for more than a minute, disconnect the Airespace AP and call Airespace Global Services & Support. -Use the CLI command show ap summary. If the new Airespace AP appears on the list, it has been configured successfully.-From the CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface, configure the Airespace AP with its Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Airespace Switch or Appliance names as described in the Airespace Product Guide.-If you will be using the Airespace AP in a mobility group, set the mobility group name using the CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface. -If required, use the CLI, Web Browser or ACS interface to customize the Airespace AP-specific 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g network settings. Once again, the two YELLOW LEDs indicate the states of the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks. If any part of the network is disabled, the corresponding YELLOW LED remains off.5. If everything works (the GREEN LED is on and the RED LED is off), disconnect the Airespace AP and take it to its final destination and install it as described in this document. If your Airespace AP fails this visual test, refer to RMA Procedures in the Airespace Product Guide to return your Airespace APs.6. When you have installed and powered up the Airespace AP in its final destination, verify that the LEDs are in the same state they were in at the end of Step 4. -If no LEDs are on, the Airespace AP is most likely not receiving power. -If the LEDs blink sequentially back and forth for more than five minutes, the Airespace AP is unable to find its Primary, Secondary or Tertiary Airespace Switch or Appliance. Check the connection between the Airespace AP and the Airespace Switch or Appliance, and make sure the Airespace AP and the Airespace Switch or Appliance are either on the same subnet or that the Airespace AP has a route back to its Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Airespace Switches and Appliances. -If the Airespace AP is not on the same subnet as the Airespace Switch or Appliance, make sure there is a DHCP server on the same subnet as the Airespace AP. Also, make sure that the route between the Airespace AP and the Airespace Switch or Appliance can process IP fragmented packets.After you have prepared all Airespace APs, reconfigure the Airespace Switch or Appliance so it is not the Master. A Master Airespace Switch or Appliance should only be used for configuring Airespace APs and not in a working network. Note that the Master Airespace Switch or Appliance is normally not used in a deployed network, so the Master Airespace Switch or Appliance setting is automatically disabled upon reboot or AireOS code upgrade.After completing Step 2: Configuring the Airespace AP Before Installation for all Airespace APs and REAPs, continue with Step 3: Preparing Mounting Locations.Preparing a Version 2.0 Airespace APPreparing a Version 2.0 Airespace APIf your Airespace AP has Airespace Operating System 2.0 or a later version loaded on it, continue with this procedure. If your Airespace AP has Airespace Operating System 1.2 or earlier loaded on it, or if you do not know what version the Airespace AP has loaded, use the Preparing a Version 1.2 Airespace AP procedure above.
