installed and used in accordance with the instructions， may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
■ Reorient or relocate the radio/TV receiving antenna.
■ Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/TV receiver.
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the radio/TV receiver is connected.
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Modifications made to the product, unless expressly approved by Honda R&D Co., Ltd.
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Safety information
WARNING ・Opening the unit, for whatever reason, could read to damages that are not covered
by the warranty.
・Do not touch the device or accessories during thunder storms. Electrical shock
could result.
・For indoor use only.
・Do not use this equipment on hospital premises. Doing so many cause medical devices
to malfunction.
・If using the equipment near a pacemaker, make sure it is at least 9inches (22cm)
away from the pacemaker.
・Do not use this equipment in an aircraft, as doing so could cause the aircraft
‘s equipment to malfunction.
・While using the Access Point, do not cover it or turn it on its side. Do not cover
the Access Point with objects such as magazines or newspapers or use it in confined,
enclosed places, such as the spaces between walls and furniture. Further, do not
turn the Access Point on its side while using it. Either situation could cause
heat to build up inside the Access Point, leading to overheating and possible fire.
・Carefully place the Ethernet cable, AC adapter, and other wire ring. Personal
injury or damage to the Access Point could result from people tripping over the
Ethernet cable, AC adapter, or power cord. Protect wiring by locating it in places
where people do not walk.
・Do not swing the AC adapter. Injury could result if the adapters strike a person
or fragile material, such as glass.
・Keep the Access Point out of the reach of children. Unforeseeable injury could
result from swallowing loose parts, etc.
・Place the Access Point on a stable surface. Do not place the Access Point on wobbly
or tilted surfaces. Tipping or falling could result injury.
・When using wall mounting, make sure that the wall is strong enough to support the
Access Point. The Access Point could fall if the wall is not strong enough,
leading to unforeseeable accidents. Further, be careful not to drop the unit or
the tools used for mounting it. Doing so could result in unforeseeable accidents.
・Avoid locations that are directly exposed to sunlight or heaters.
・Internal overheating could result in fire or damage to the unit.
・Make sure connectors are properly connected.
−Do not insert any metallic objects inside the connectors. Short-circuiting then
pins could cause fire or damage to the unit.
−Be careful to insert connectors squarely. Crooked insertion could cause pins to
short-circuit, possibly causing fire or damage to the unit.
・Use only the supplied AC adapter with Access Point. To disconnect Access Point
from the power supply, unplug the AC adapter.
Dual band Access Point User’s Guide
Rev001, Page 7 of 41
Precautions
AC Adapter
Use only supplied AC adapter. Other AC adapters may cause a failure in the Access Point.
Safety
Do not drop the Access Point. Careful handling will help prevent damage.
Installation
Do not place the Access Point where it will be exposed to the following conditions:
■ Unstable surface.
■ High humidity or poor ventilation.
■ Excessive dust.
■ Direct sunlight or extreme heat.
■ Closed cars.
■ Magnetized location (near magnet, speakers, or televisions).
■ Locations exposed to frequent vibration.
■ Locations where the transmission of radio waves may be obstructed by metal plates or
concrete walls.
Operation
Exposure to cold-to hot temperature extremes or very damp environments may cause moisture
to condense on internal parts. This may prevent the Access Point from operating properly.
If this should happen, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and let the Access Point
sit for two to three hours or until the moisture evaporates.
Cleaning
Clean the casing with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene.
This may damage the finish of the casing.

Introduction
Package Contents
Once you have unpacked the units, make sure that all of the following items are
present.
■ Access Point (TMW1247)
■ AC Adaptor
■ Power Cable
■ External Antenna (TMM1262)
System Requirements
The AP contains a small boot executive that allows the main operating system software
to be downloaded using the Ethernet Port over an FTP connection. The operating system
software can also reside in the Flash memory of the AP, which allows booting without
the need to download the operating system from the host PC over an FTP connection.
A configuration file is created in Flash memory to store user-configurable
parameters such as wired equivalent Privacy (WEP) keys. A terminal or PC with an
Ethernet connection is required to perform the initial AP configuration. An FTP
server is required for firmware update to the AP.
WARNING: lf end users are allowed to upgrade firmware through the FTP server，confirm
that the End User License Agreement (EULA) covers upgrades to the firmware. The AP
upgrade code permits direct upgrades of the AP from the configuration screen if a
web browser is used. As a precaution, also use the EULA as the FTP startup text in
the event some end users log in to the FTP server manually.
Use the AP Web Server for firmware updates. Refer to ″AP Firmware Update
Configuration Window″ on Page A-33 for information on the web server.

AP Network Attachment and
Configuration
This section provides procedures for connecting and configuring the access Point
(AP) to a host PC (HPC). Configuration can be performed either from a web browser
accessing the built-in web server or by entering commands using the command line
interface (CLI). For detailed information on using the web server, refer to “AP
Web Server Homepage” in Appendix A. For detailed information on using CLI, refer
to “AP Command-Line interface” in Appendix B. For “Factory Default Settings”
refer to Appendix B.
AP Network Connections
Connect the HPC to the AP using one of the following methods:
■ Use an Ethernet crossover cable (not supplied) to connect directly to the
Ethernet port of the HPC.
■ Use standard Ethernet cables (not supplied)to connect through a hub or Ethernet
switch.
See Fig11re 2-1 for an example of the AP to the HPC connections.
Follow these steps to establish the network connections:
1. Connect the AP Ethernet port to the HPC Ethernet card through the Ethernet
hub/switch or an Ethernet crossover cable.
2. Connect the optional RS-232 Port to the HPC seria1 Port through a serial cable.
Refer to Appendix C for more information on the serial interface.
3. Plug in the provided power supply to the AP power supply connector.

Network Configuration
To configure the HPC for AP network control:
1. From the HPC’s Start menu, choose Settings and open the Network and
Dial-up Connections dialog box.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon that belongs to the Ethernet
controller connected to the AP, and select Properties.
3. Within the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, choose Internet

AP Initial Configuration
Configure the AP after booting from Flash memory. Refer to “Firmware Update
Configuration window” on Page A-33 for information on loading the operating image
file to the Flash file system, if the operating system software needs updating.
Configure the AP for its channel frequency and service set identifier (SSID) unique
to the application. This configuration can be done through a web browser with access
to the built-in AP web server. The AP can be configured at any time to tailor it
for the application environment.
For more information on configuring the AP using the web browser, refer to “AP Web
Server” in Appendix A.
The following description illustrates the use of the web browser.

■ Enable - Restricted Access: An ACL entry must exist before ACL
can be enabled. While ACL is enabled，stations with valid
shared keys and stations with matching “allow” entries on
the ACL are authenticated.
■ Strict - Restricted(w/ACL match): Requires an ACL entry that
specifies the station's assigned unique key or the station
is denied association. In the strict mode, stations with
valid share keys and not on the ACL are not authenticated.
The stations must have unique keys defined and matching
“allow” ACL entries specified to associate with the AP.
