EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION The Cabin Access Point (CAP) (Figure 1-1) is a wireless communication device designed for use in airborne environments. The CAP utilizes Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology in the 2.4-GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio frequency spectrum to communicate with IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices. The CAP utilizes Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio technology in the 2.4-GHz ISM radio frequency spectrum to communicate with IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless devices and in the 5-GHz ISM frequency spectrum to communicate with IEEE 802.11a compliant wireless devices. The CAP provides a bridge between the aircraft IEEE 802.3 compliant wired Ethernet LAN and wireless devices. Two aircraft level discrete inputs are provided for remote on/off control and RF enable/disable. Two discrete outputs provide operational status. Operation of the CAP is controlled by operating software. The CAP can be configured with CAP operating software to configure the CAP as a cabin wireless LAN unit (CWLU) to create a wireless local area network (WLAN) aboard the aircraft, or with wireless access bridge (WAB) operating software to configure the CAP as a terminal wireless LAN unit (TWLU) to establish a wireless bridge between the aircraft network and a ground-based network. The part number for the software installed in your CAP is indicated on the software label located on the top of the CAP unit. 1-2 25 August/2004 Chapter 1 General Information M365-491 Operator’s Manual 0407231- Figure 1-1. Cabin Access Point (CAP) 1-5 BUILDING A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN) Configured as a CWLU, the CAP enables you to create a WLAN to link all your computers so that they can share data and resources. The CAP contains two radio frequency (RF) transmitter/receivers (tranceivers). One tranceiver uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band to communicate with IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g compliant client stations. The second transceiver uses radio waves in the 5 GHz band to communicate with IEEE 802.11a compliant client stations. Radio waves cannot penetrate metal, instead they are reflected. This means that the CAP is able to transmit through wood or plaster walls, and closed windows. However, the metal skin of the aircraft or metal partitions may block transmissions, or reduce signal quality by creating reflections. To serve users separated by metal partitions will require a separate CAP unit in each area. The CAP provides IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless network coverage in a radius of up to 100 meters (300 feet) and IEEE 802.11a wireless network coverage in a radius of 30 meters (100 feet), regardless of the orientation of the device. This is called a wireless cell. To maximize coverage of the cell, the CAP is best installed in an open area with as few obstructions as possible. Try to choose a location that is central to the area being served. The following paragraphs provide an overview of the different types of connections you can make using the CAP. Chapter 1 General Information 1-3 25 August/2004 Operator’s Manual 1-5.1 M365-491 Connecting to a Wired Local Area Network (LAN) By attaching the CAP to an Ethernet hub as shown in Figure 1-2, you can interconnect your wireless network with a traditional wired local area network (LAN). This enables all users to share data and resources. AIRBORNE SERVER CABIN MANAGEMENT TERMINAL ETHERNET HUB SHARED DATA AND RESOURCES WLAN 0407232- Figure 1-2. Connecting to a Wired LAN 1-5.2 Connecting to a Wired Server As shown in Figure 1-3, the CAP can be connected to a single server that has a traditional wired Ethernet card. This allows the wired server to share data and resources with the computers on the WLAN. AIRBORNE SERVER SHARED DATA AND RESOURCES WLAN 0407233- Figure 1-3. Connecting to a Wired Server 1-4 25 August/2004 Chapter 1 General Information M365-491 1-5.3 Operator’s Manual Instant Infrastructure The CAP features an integrated two-port 100 Mbps Ethernet switch allowing you to quickly create a complete networking infrastructure. Connect stand alone computers or link to an Ethernet hub to interconnect your wireless network with a traditional wired local area network (LAN). (See Figure 1-4.) This enables all users to share data and resources. Unlike a hub which shares bandwidth between all connected stations, the CAP’s switch enables each connected station to use the full 100 Mbps. Both ports on the CAP are auto-sensing, enabling direct connection to a hub without a crossover cable. WIRED LAN AIRBORNE COMPUTER CABIN MANAGEMENT TERMINAL AIRBORNE SERVER ETHERNET HUB WLAN 0407234- Figure 1-4. Creating an Instant Infrastructure 1-5.4 Building A Multi-Cell Wireless Network As shown in Figure 1-5, several CAP units can be installed to provide multiple wireless cells for coverage of large locations. Client computers are able to move between cells (called roaming), without losing contact with the network. This is possible because the wireless network adapters in the client computers automatically switch to the best available signal. 1-6 BUILDING A WIRELESS BRIDGE Configured as a TWLU, the CAP provides a wireless link between the LAN aboard the aircraft and a ground-based LAN deployed in an airport terminal, hanger, fixed-based operation (FBO) facility, or flight operations facility. (See Figure 1-6.) The CAP has a range of 100 meters (300 feet) using the IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g wireless network interface.

To avoid exceeding federal communications commission (FCC) radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall be no less than eight inches (20 centimeters) while RF is enabled. The CAP is designed to be used with two indoor antennas, Miltope part number 901167-1, when configured as a CWLU (using CAP operating software) or one outdoor antenna, Miltope part number 901058-1, when configured as a TWLU (using WAB operating software). The two indoor antennas connect to the two RF output connectors shown in Figure 3-6. Connector J2 is the RF output for radio 2 and connector J3 is the RF output for radio 1. The outdoor antenna connects to RF output connector J3 shown in Figure 3-6. Table 3-2 provides the pin assignments for the RF output connectors. To comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements, attenuation is required between the CAP and the antenna for IEEE 802.11b and/or IEEE 802.11g operation at maximum transmit power. This attenuation is typically accomplished by connecting a minimum of six feet of RG-58 coaxial cable (or alternate coaxial cable with equivalent attenuation characteristics) between the CAP and the antenna. If no extension cable is connected between the CAP and the antenna, the applicable radio transmit power must be set to a maximum value of 15 dBm. Refer to the applicable operating software operator’s manual for instructions for setting radio transmit power. Table 3-2.
