Step 1: Choose a Location
To make optimal use of the unit, you must nd a suitable location for the
hardware. The range of the radio unit largely depends upon the position of the
antenna. Proxim recommends you do a site survey, observing the following
requirements, before mounting the hardware.
The location must allow easy disconnection of power to the radio if
necessary.
Air must be able to ow freely around the hardware.
The radio unit must be kept away from vibration and excessive heat.
The installation must conform to local regulations at all times.
The units are designed to directly mount to a pole or wall. Using the supplied
brackets and hardware, you can mount them to a 1.25 inch to 4.5-inch pole
(outside diameter). Using just one of the mounting brackets, you can mount
the units to a wall or other at surface.
Caution!
Proxim recommends the use of a lightning arrestor at the building
ingress point. You can purchase the Proxim Lightning Protector; see
the documentation that comes with the unit for more information
and installation instructions.

Step 2: Pre-Assemble the Hardware
Unpack the unit and accessories from the shipping box.
Note the Ethernet and MAC addresses of the unit, as well as the serial
number; these addresses may be used when conguring the unit.
Note:
The serial number is required to obtain support from Proxim. Keep this
information in a safe place.
You will be attaching an outdoor-rated 24 AWG CAT5 cable (diameter .114
to .250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm) (not provided) to the Power-over-Ethernet
port on the back of the unit later in the installation procedure. First, you
must construct the cable and assemble the waterproong cable covers as
described in the following steps:
i. Slide the sealing nut (A) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.
ii. Slide the lock nut (B) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.
iii. Slide the RJ45 sealing cap (C) over the bare end of the CAT5 cable.
iv. Terminate the RJ45 connector to the CAT5 cable. Insert into the
mating RJ45 connector (D).
v. Slide the RJ45 sealing cap (C) over the RJ45 connector and thread
onto enclosure. Hand tighten.
vi. Thread the lock nut (B) onto sealing cap (C), and hand tighten.
vii. Thread the sealing nut (A) onto the lock nut (B), and hand tighten.
Caution!
Hand-tighten only. Torque values for nal installation are provided
in Step 7: Complete Installation.

All rights reserved Page 11
Caution!
The sealing nut (A) must not be tightened until the sealing cap (C)
over the RJ45 connector has been tightened to the unit during nal
installation; otherwise, the Ethernet cable may twist and become
damaged.
Notes:
The cable must feed through all parts of the weatherproof cap before the
RJ45 is crimped on the outdoor Ethernet a cable.
The cable between the power injector and the unit must be a straight-
through Ethernet cable (without crossover).
Due to variance in CAT5 cable diameter, termination techniques of the
installer, and the application of proper tightness of the connectors, it
is strongly recommended that the CAT5 cable connector and the serial
connector cap are further secured by external weatherproong (in addition
to the antenna N connector, where applicable). Butyl weatherproong tape
is the preferred material for securing any external connector.
Attach the mounting plate (A) using the provided screws and washers
(Torque 9 N∙m/75 in-lbs), such that the unit’s antenna will be vertically or
horizontally polarized when mounted.
Attach the extension arm (B) to mounting piece (A) with the screw, nut,
and washers provided, as shown below. The extension arm gives the unit
more possible tilt, letting you adjust for azimuth or elevation over a larger
angle.

Step 3: Connect the Cables
If you have not already done so, connect the normal RJ45 connector on an
outdoor-rated CAT5 cable to the “Data and Power Out” port on the power
injector.
Note:
On R1 versions, connect the cable to the port labeled “J1 Antenna” on the
power injector (not pictured). This port has 48 VDC power on the RJ45.
Attach the other end of the CAT5 cable with RJ45 connector to the Power
and Ethernet port on the back of the unit (see the following gure). Note
that the rst attachment of this cable is meant to verify operation and
congure the unit; the nal attachment (with proper torque values) and
weatherproong are to be done after the unit has been installed in the
location at which it will operate (See Step 7: Complete Installation).
Caution!
Do not over-tighten the connector nuts; do not use a wrench to
tighten the connectors!

Page 14 Copyright © 2006 Proxim Wireless
To connect the unit through a hub or a switch to a PC, use a straight-
through Ethernet cable between the network interface card in the PC and
the hub, and between the hub and the RJ45 “Data In” port on the PoE
adapter.
Note:
On R1 units, connect the cable between the hub and the RJ45 “J2 PC/
Router” port on the power injector (not pictured).
If you are connecting the PC directly to the unit, use a crossover Ethernet
cable between the network interface card in the PC and the RJ45 “Data In”
port on the power injector.
Note:
On R1 units, connect the cross-over cable between the network interface
card in the PC and the and the RJ45 “J2 PC/Router” port on the power
injector (not pictured).
3.
All rights reserved Page 15
Step 4: Power on the Unit
The power injector provides Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), supplying electricity
and wired connectivity to the unit over a single 24 AWG CAT5 (diameter .114 to
.250 inches/2.9 to 6.4 mm). The unit is not 802.3af-compatible. Always use the
supplied power injector to ensure that the unit is powered properly. Note that
the Active Ethernet module provides +48 VDC over a standard CAT5 Ethernet
cable.
Once you have connected the power injector to the Ethernet cabling and
plugged the power injector cord into an AC outlet, the unit is powered on.
There is no ON/OFF switch on the unit. To remove power, unplug the AC cord
from the AC outlet or disconnect the RJ45 connector from the “Data and Power
Out” port on the power injector.
Note:
On R1 units, remove power by unplugging the AC cord from the AC outlet or
disconnecting the RJ45 connector from the “J1/Antenna” port on the power
injector.
Depressing the Reload button (on the side of the power injector) for ve
seconds during power-up remotely resets the radio to its factory default
settings. You will need to use the end of a pin or paperclip to depress the
button.
Note:
Power injectors supplied with R1 units are not equipped with a Reload
button.
Caution!
R1 units: if you connect the “Antenna” jack to your router/switch,
it will inject 48 VDC on the normally unused pins on the RJ45. This
may damage the terminating resistors in your router/switch on the
unused pins.
Page 16 Copyright © 2006 Proxim Wireless
Step 5: View LEDs
On most units, the LEDs are present at the unit’s Ethernet connector; unscrew
the watertight cap if necessary to view the LEDs.
NOTE:
Make sure the domed sealing nut is loose before unscrewing the cap or the
Ethernet cable may be twisted and damaged.
When the unit is powered on, it performs startup diagnostics. When startup is
complete, the LEDs show the unit’s operational state, as follows:
LED State Power/Ethernet LED Radio LED
Blinking Green Power is on, unit is booting up,
Ethernet link is down.
Radios are being initialized.
Steady Green Power is on, Ethernet link is up. Radios are being operational.
Note:
On R1 units, there is one LED. It is the power LED that appears in the back
of the unit, between the cooling ns on the right side. (See Figure 2.)
On power-up, the LED ashes red during initial start-up, and then turns
solid red while booting. After a successful boot, it becomes solid green to
indicate normal operation.
Caution!
Before applying power to the units, make sure that a proper load or
antenna is connected to each N-female jack to minimize the chance
of damaging the RF power ampliers.
All rights reserved Page 17
Step 6: Mount the Unit
Caution:
To ensure that water does not gather around the antenna
connectors, mount the unit with the antenna connectors facing
downward.
To pole-mount, insert screws through bracket F and fasten around pole to
bracket E and secure (Torque 11 N.m/100 in-lbs).
To wall-mount the unit, mount bracket (E) to wall using 4 screws (not
provided), as shown:
Note:
At the end of the installation, the Ethernet and serial ports must be made
waterproof by installing the caps. Be careful not to over-tighten the caps as
damage to the cable may occur.

IMPORTANT!
If the AP is going to be used as part of a Mesh network, you will need to
perform initial conguration of the parameters mentioned in the Prereq-
uisites section of this AP-4000MR-LR User Guide before you mount the
AP. See the User Guide for more information on conguring these param-
eters.

Step 7: Complete Installation
Tighten the sealing nut (Torque 3 N∙m/25 in-lbs) and lock nut (Torque
4 N∙m/35 in-lbs).
CAUTION!
Do not over-tighten! Over-tightening can cause the CAT5 cable to
become pinched and can subsequently damage the power injector
or the unit.
Tighten the RJ45 sealing cap.
CAUTION!
Be sure you have re-installed the waterproof caps on the serial and
Ethernet port connections. It is also good installation practice to
use Butyl weatherproong tape to seal the caps, as this adds an
extra layer of protection.

UNIT INITIALIZATION
Using ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. It is
an initial conguration tool that allows you to nd the IP address of an Access
Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address
if one has not been assigned.
The tool automatically detects the Access Points installed on your network,
regardless of IP address, and lets you congure each unit’s IP settings. In
addition, you can use set initial device parameters that will allow the AP to
retrieve a new software to an AP that does not have a valid software image
installed.
To access the HTTP interface and congure the AP, the AP must be assigned
an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the AP is
congured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network Dynamic Host
Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your network contains a
DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to nd out what IP address the AP has been
assigned. If your network does not contain a DHCP server, the Access Point’s
IP address defaults to 169.254.128.132. In this case, you can use ScanTool to
assign the AP a static IP address that is valid on your network.
Scan Tool Instructions
Power up the AP (if not already powered on).
Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the
program. If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All Programs >
ORiNOCO > AP40000MR-LR > ScanTool.
Note:
If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be
prompted to select the adapter that you want ScanTool to use before the
Scan List appears. You can use either an Ethernet or wireless adaptor.
If prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You can change your adapter
setting at any time by clicking the Select Adapter button on the Scan List
screen.
ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected Access Points. The
ScanTool’s Scan List screen appears, as shown in the following example.

Note that after rebooting an Access Point, it may take up to ve minutes for
the unit to appear in the Scan List.
Do one of the following:
If the AP has been assigned an IP address by a DHCP server on the
network, write down the IP address and click Cancel to close ScanTool.
Proceed to the Logging In section below for information on how to access
the HTTP interface using this IP address.
Note:
Mesh APs must be congured with static IP addresses. To assign the AP a
static IP address, follow the steps below.
If the AP has not been assigned an IP address (in other words, the unit
is using its default IP address, 169.254.128.132), follow these steps to
assign it a static IP address that is valid on your network:
Highlight the entry for the AP you want to congure.
Click the Change button. The Change screen appears.
