MAC Access

The MAC Access sub-tab allows you to build a list of stations, identified by their MAC addresses, authorized to access

the network through the AP. The list is stored inside each AP within your network. Note that you must reboot the AP for

any changes to the MAC Access Control Table to take effect. Up to 1000 entries can be made in the table.

The “MAC ACL Status” parameter (configurable on the SSID/VLAN/Security > Wireless sub-tab) is per VLAN if VLAN

Management is enabled. All other parameters besides “MAC ACL Status” are configured per AP, even if VLAN is

enabled.

The following list details the configurable MAC Access parameters.

NOTE: MAC Access Control status is controlled on the SSID/VLAN/Security > Wireless sub-tab. When set to Strict,

changes to the MAC ACL table will take effect immediately, without a unit reboot. When not set to Strict, changes

will not take effect until the unit is rebooted.

•Operation Type: Choose between Passthru and Block. This determines how the stations identified in the MAC

Access Control Table are filtered.

– If set to Passthru, only the addresses listed in the Control Table will pass through the bridge.

– If set to Block, the bridge will block traffic to or from the addresses listed in the Control Table.

•MAC Access Control Table: Click Add to create a new entry. Click Edit to change an existing entry. Each entry

contains the following field:

–MAC Address: Enter the wireless client’s MAC address.

–Comment: Enter an optional comment such as the client’s name.

–Status: The entry is enabled automatically when saved (so the Status field is only visible when editing an entry).

You can also disable or delete entries by changing this field’s value.

NOTE: For larger networks that include multiple Access Points, you may prefer to maintain this list on a centralized

location using the MAC Access Control Via RADIUS Authentication.

Wireless

Each SSID can have its own Security Profile that defines its security mode, authentication mechanism, and encryption,

so that customers can have multiple types of clients (non-WEP, WEP, 802.1x, WPA, WPA-PSK, 802.11i, 802.11i-PSK) on

the same system separated per VLAN. See the Security Profile section for more information. Each SSID can support a

unique VLAN. In order for the AP to support multiple SSID/VLANs, VLAN Tagging must be enabled. These parameters

are configurable on the Wireless screens.

Configuring an SSID/VLAN with VLAN Tagging Disabled

With VLAN tagging disabled (from the SSID/VLAN/Security > Mgmt VLAN tab), only one SSID can be configured. All

parameters set on the Wireless tab will be applied to that SSID.

1. Click SSID/VLAN/Security > Wireless.

The SSID, VLAN, and Security Configuration page is displayed.

120

•Enable: MAC addresses in the MAC Access Control List stored on the RADIUS server are blocked or allowed,

based on the MAC ACL settings. If a higher priority authentication protocol is also enabled, the higher-priority

settings will override the MAC ACL settings. See Authentication Protocol Hierarchy.

•Disable: RADIUS MAC ACL settings are disabled.

•Strict: RADIUS MAC ACL settings are enabled. If a higher-priority authentication protocol is also enabled,

RADIUS MAC ACL settings will be applied in addition to the higher priority authentication protocol settings. See

Authentication Protocol Hierarchy.

4. Control the functionality of the MAC Access Control List on the VLAN/SSID by selecting one of the following from the

MAC ACL Status drop-down menu:

•Enable: MAC addresses in the MAC Access Control List are blocked or allowed, based on the MAC ACL settings.

If a higher priority authentication protocol is also enabled, the higher-priority settings will override the MAC ACL

settings. See Authentication Protocol Hierarchy.

•Disable: MAC ACL settings are disabled.

•Strict: MAC ACL settings are enabled. If a higher-priority authentication protocol is also enabled, MAC ACL

settings will be applied in addition to the higher priority authentication protocol settings. See Authentication

Protocol Hierarchy. When MAC ACL Status is set to Strict, changes to the MAC ACL table (configured on the MAC

Access page) will take effect without a device reboot.

5. Enter Rekeying Interval in seconds (between 300 and 65525). When set to 0, this parameter is disabled. The default

is 900 seconds.

6. Enter the Security Profile used by the VLAN in the Security Profile field. See the Security Profile section for more

information.

7. Define the RADIUS Server Profile Configuration for the VLAN/SSID:

• RADIUS MAC Authentication Profile

• RADIUS EAP Authentication Profile

• RADIUS Accounting Profile

If 802.1x, WPA, or 802.11i security mode is used, the RADIUS EAP Authentication Profile must have a value.

A RADIUS Server Profile for authentication for each VLAN shall be configured as part of the configuration options

for that VLAN. RADIUS profiles are independent of VLANs. The user can define any profile to be the default and

associate all VLANs to that profile. Four profiles are created by default, “MAC Authentication”, “EAP

Authentication”, Accounting”, and “Management”

8. If desired, scroll down to the scroll down to the SSID and VLAN Table and click Edit to modify the Network Name,

VLAN ID, or QoS profile of the SSID/VLAN.

Advanced Configuration AP-700 User Guide

SSID/VLAN/Security

121

Figure 4-52 SSID/VLAN Edit Entries Screen (VLAN Tagging Disabled)

9. Enter a unique Network Name (SSID) between 1 and 32 characters. This parameter is mandatory.

NOTE: Do not use quotation marks (single or double) in the Network Name; this will cause the AP to misinterpret the

name.

10.Enter a unique VLAN ID. This parameter is mandatory.

• A VLAN ID is a number from -1 to 4094. A value of -1 means that an entry is “untagged.”

• You can set the VLAN ID to “-1” or “untagged” if you do not want clients that are using a specific SSID to be

members of a VLAN workgroup.

• The VLAN ID must match an ID used by your network; contact your network administrator if you need assistance

defining the VLAN IDs.

11. Specify a QoS profile. See the Policy section for more information.

12.Select the status of Closed System to control whether the SSID is advertised in the beacon and manage the way

probe requests are handled, as follows:

•Enable: The SSID is not advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond to probe requests with an SSID only if

the client has specified the SSID in the probe request. If the client sends a probe request with a null or “ANY”

SSID, the AP will not respond.

•Partial: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will not respond to "ANY" SSID requests. The Partial

setting reduces network traffic by eliminating the repeated broadcast of SSIDs in probe responses.

•Disable: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether or

not an SSID has been specified in the probe request.

13.Enable Broadcast Unique Beacon using the drop-down menu. When enabled, Broadcast Unique Beacon allows the

broadcast of a up to four unique beacons when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. If Closed System (above) is

set to Partial or Disable, each beacon (up to four) will be broadcast a single SSID. If more than four SSIDs are

Advanced Configuration AP-700 User Guide

SSID/VLAN/Security

122

configured, then three SSIDs will be broadcast in individual beacons; the fourth and subsequent SSIDs will be

combined in one beacon and will not be broadcast. If Closed System is set to Enable, the SSID will not be broadcast

in the beacon. If Broadcast Unique Beacon is disabled, a combined beacon will be broadcast.

NOTE: Enabling Broadcast Unique Beacon will lower the total throughput of the AP by 2-4%. Enabling Broadcast

Unique Beacon simultaneously with Rogue Scan will cause a drift in the beacon interval and the occasional

missing of beacons.

14.Set the 802.1p Priority given to packets tagged with this VLAN ID. Enter a number between 0-7.

15.If editing an entry, enable or disable the parameters on this page by electing Enable or Disable from the Status

drop-down menu. If adding a new entry, this drop-down menu will not appear.

SSID, the AP will not respond.

•Partial: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will not respond to "ANY" SSID requests. The Partial

setting reduces network traffic by eliminating the repeated broadcast of SSIDs in probe responses.

•Disable: The SSID is advertised in the beacon, and the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether or

not an SSID has been specified in the probe request.

7. Enable Broadcast Unique Beacon using the drop-down menu. When enabled, Broadcast Unique Beacon allows the

broadcast of a up to four unique beacons when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. If Closed System (above) is

set to Partial or Disable, each beacon (up to four) will be broadcast a single SSID. If more than four SSIDs are

configured, then three SSIDs will be broadcast in individual beacons; the fourth and subsequent SSIDs will be

combined in one beacon and will not be broadcast. If Closed System is set to Enable, the SSID will not be broadcast

in the beacon. If Broadcast Unique Beacon is disabled, a combined beacon will be broadcast.

NOTE: Enabling Broadcast Unique Beacon will lower the throughput of the AP by 2-4%. Enabling Broadcast Unique

Beacon simultaneously with Rogue Scan will cause a drift in the beacon interval and the occasional missing of

beacons.

8. Enable or disable the SSID Authorization status from the drop-down menu. SSID Authorization is the RADIUS-based

authorization of the SSID for a particular client. The authorized SSIDs are sent as the tunnel attributes.

• Downloading files (Configuration, AP Image, Bootloader, License, Private Key, Certificate, CLI Batch File) to the AP

using one of these two methods is called “Updating the AP.”

• Uploading files (Configuration, CLI Batch File, etc) from the AP is called “Retrieving Files.”

TFTP File Transfer Guidelines

A TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory containing the file.

If you do not have a TFTP server installed on your system, install the TFTP server from the installation CD.

HTTP File Transfer Guidelines

HTTP file transfer can be performed either with or without SSL enabled.

HTTP file transfers with SSL require enabling Secure Management and Secure Socket Layer. HTTP transfers that use

SSL may take additional time.

NOTE: SSL requires Internet Explorer version 6, 128 bit encryption, Service Pack 1, and patch Q323308.

Image Error Checking During File Transfer

The Access Point performs checks to verify that an image downloaded through HTTP or TFTP is valid. The following

checks are performed on the downloaded image:

• Zero Image size

• Large image size

• Non VxWorks image

• AP image

• Digital signature verification

If any of the above checks fail on the downloaded image, the Access Point deletes the downloaded image and retains the

old image. Otherwise, if all checks pass successfully, the AP deletes the old image and retains the downloaded image.

These checks are to ensure that the AP does not enter an invalid image state. The storage of the two images is only

temporary to ensure the proper verification; the two images will not be stored in the AP permanently.

Image error checking functions automatically in the background. No user configuration is required.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides information on the following:

•Troubleshooting Concepts

•Symptoms and Solutions

•Recovery Procedures

•Related Applications

NOTE: This section helps you locate problems related to the AP device setup. For details about RADIUS, TFTP, serial

communication programs (such as HyperTerminal), Telnet applications, or web browsers, please see the

documentation that came with the respective application for assistance.

Troubleshooting Concepts

The following list identifies important troubleshooting concepts and topics. The most common initialization and

installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, you must have valid IP addresses for both the AP and the

management computer to access the unit’s HTTP interface.

•IP Address management is fundamental.

•Factory default units are set for “Dynamic” (DHCP) IP Address assignment. The default IP address for the AP is

169.254.128.132 if your network does not have a DHCP server. If you connect the AP to a network with an active

DHCP server, then use ScanTool to locate the IP address of your unit. If a DHCP server is not active on your subnet,

then use ScanTool to assign a static IP address to the unit.

•The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) provides a means to download and upload files. These files include

the AP Image (executable program) and configuration files.

•If the AP password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset to default values. The Soft Reset to Factory

Defaults or Hard Reset to Factory Defaults procedures reset the configuration, but do not change the current AP

Image.

•The AP Supports a Command Line Interface (CLI). If you are having trouble locating your AP on the network,

connect to the unit directly using the serial interface and see Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI command syntax

and parameter names.

•ScanTool does not work over routers. You must be connected to the same subnet/physical LAN segment to use

ScanTool. Note that ScanTool also works over the wireless interface; you can run it on a wireless client connected to

the target AP or an AP connected to the same LAN segment/subnet.

•If all else fails… Use the Forced Reload procedure to erase the current AP Image and configuration file and then

download a new image.

Troubleshooting AP-700 User Guide

Symptoms and Solutions

150

Symptoms and Solutions

Connectivity Issues

Connectivity issues include any problem that prevents you from powering up or connecting to the AP.

AP Unit Will Not Boot - No LED Activity

1. Make sure your power source is operating.

2. Make sure all cables are connected to the AP correctly.

3. If you are using PoE, make sure you are using a Category 5, foiled, twisted pair cable to power the AP.

Serial Link Does Not Work

1. Make sure you are using a standard, straight-through, 9-pin serial cable.

2. Double-check the physical network connections.

3. Make sure your PC terminal program (such as HyperTerminal) is active and configured to the following values:

– Com Port: (COM1, COM2, etc. depending on your computer);

– Baud rate: 9600; Data bits: 8; Stop bits: 1; Flow Control: None; Parity: None;

– Line Feeds with Carriage Returns

(In HyperTerminal select: File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup > Send Line Ends with Line Feeds)

Ethernet Link Does Not Work

1. Double-check the physical network connections. Use a known-good unit to make sure the network connection is

present. Once you have the AP IP address, you can use the “Ping” command over Ethernet to test the IP Address. If

the AP responds to the Ping, then the Ethernet Interface is working properly.

2. By default, the Access Point will attempt to automatically detect the Ethernet settings. However, if you are having

problems with the Ethernet link, manually configure the Access Point’s Ethernet settings. For example, if your switch

operates at 100 Mbits/sec/Full Duplex, manually configure the Access Point to use these settings (see Ethernet). If

you cannot access the unit over Ethernet, then use the CLI interface over the serial port to configure the Ethernet port

(see Command Line Interface (CLI) and Set Ethernet Speed and Transmission Mode).

3. Perform network infrastructure troubleshooting (check switches, routers, etc.).

Basic Software Setup and Configuration Problems

Lost AP, Telnet, or SNMP Password

1. Perform the Soft Reset to Factory Defaults in this guide. This procedure resets system and network parameters, but

does not affect the AP Image. The default AP HTTP, Telnet, and SNMP passwords are all public.

Client Computer Cannot Connect

1. Client computers should have the same Network Name and security settings as the AP.

2. Network Names should be allocated and maintained by the Network Administrator.

3. See the documentation that came with your client card for additional troubleshooting suggestions.

AP Has Incorrect IP Address

1. Default IP Address Assignment mode is dynamic (DHCP). If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, the

default IP Address is 169.254.128.132. If you have more than one unintialized AP connected to the network, they will

all have the same default IP address and you will not be able to communicate with them (due to an IP address

conflict). In this case, assign each AP a static IP address via the serial cable or turn off all units but one and change

the IP address using ScanTool one at a time.

Troubleshooting AP-700 User Guide

Symptoms and Solutions

151

2. The AP only contacts a DHCP server during boot-up. If your network’s DHCP server is not available while the AP is

booting, the device will use the default IP address (169.254.128.132). Reboot the AP once your DHCP server is

on-line again or use the ScanTool to find the Access Point’s current IP address.

3. To find the unit’s current IP address if using DHCP, open the IP Client Table in the DHCP Server and match the

Access Point’s IP address to its MAC address (found on the product label). Alternatively, use ScanTool to identify an

Access Point’s current IP address.

4. Once you have the current IP address, use the HTTP or CLI Interface to change the unit’s IP settings, if necessary.

5. If you use static IP Address assignments, and cannot access the unit over Ethernet, use the Initializing the IP Address

using CLI procedure. Once the IP Address is set, you can use the Ethernet Interface to complete configuration.

6. Perform the Soft Reset to Factory Defaults in this guide. This will reset the unit to “DHCP” mode. If there is a DHCP

Server on the network, the DHCP Server will assign an IP Address to the AP.

HTTP Interface or Telnet Interface Does Not Work

1. Make sure you are using a compatible browser:

– Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 1 or later

– Netscape 7.1 or later

2. Make sure you have the proper IP address. Enter your Access Point’s IP Address in the browser address bar, similar

to this example:

http://192.168.1.100

When the Enter Network Password window appears, leave the User Name field empty and enter the HTTP

password in the Password field. The default HTTP password is public.

3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which can be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.

HTML Help Files Do Not Appear

1. Verify that the HTML Help files are installed in the default directory:

C:/Program Files/ORiNOCO/AP700/HTML.

If the Help files are not located in this folder, contact your network administrator to find out where the Help files are

located on your server.

2. Copy the entire folder to your Web server.

3. Perform the following steps to specify the path for the Help files:

a. Click the Commands button in the HTTP interface.

b. Select the Help tab located at the top of the screen.

c. Enter the pathname where the Help files are located in the Help Link box. This must be an HTTP address.

d. Click OK.

Telnet CLI Does Not Work

1. Make sure you have the proper IP Address. Enter your AP IP address in the Telnet connection dialog, from a DOS

prompt, type:

C:\> telnet <AP IP Address>

2. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which can be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.

TFTP Server Does Not Work

1. Make sure the TFTP Server has been started.

2. Verify the IP address of the TFTP Server. The server may be local or remote, so long as it has a valid IP address.

3. Configure the TFTP Server to “point” to the folder containing the file to be downloaded (or to the folder in which the file

is to be uploaded).

4. Verify that you have entered the proper AP Image file name (including the file extension) and directory path (if

needed).

Symptoms and Solutions

152

5. If you have a problem uploading a file, verify that the TFTP server is configured to allow uploads (typically the default

setting is to allow only downloads).

Client Connection Problems

Client Software Finds No Connection

Make sure you have configured your client software with the proper Network Name and Security settings. Network

Names and WEP Keys are typically allocated and maintained by your network administrator.

Client PC Card Does Not Work

1. Make sure you are using the latest PC Card driver software.

2. Download and install the latest ORiNOCO client software from http://support.proxim.com.

Intermittent Loss of Connection

1. Make sure you are within range of an active AP.

2. You can check the signal strength using the signal strength gauge on your client software.

Client Does Not Receive an IP Address - Cannot Connect to Internet

1. If the AP is configured as a DHCP server, open the Web-browser Interface and select the Configure button and then

the Network tab to make sure the proper DHCP settings are being used.

2. If you are not using the DHCP server feature on the AP, then make sure that your local DHCP server is accessible

from the Access Point’s subnet.

3. If using PoE, make sure you are not using a crossover Ethernet cable between the AP and the hub.

VLAN Operation Issues

Verifying Proper Operation of the VLAN Feature

The correct VLAN configuration can be verified by “pinging” both wired and wireless hosts from both sides of the AP

device and the network switch. Traffic can be “sniffed” on both the wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WDS) backbones (if

configured). Bridge frames generated by wireless clients and viewed on one of the backbones should contain IEEE

802.1Q compliant VLAN headers or tags. The VLAN ID in the headers should correspond to one of the VLAN User IDs

configured for the AP.

NOTE: The AP-700 supports 16 VLAN/SSID pairs, each with a configured security profile.

VLAN Workgroups

The correct VLAN assignment can be verified by pinging the AP to ensure connectivity, by pinging the switch to ensure

VLAN properties, and by pinging hosts past the switch to confirm the switch is functional. Ultimately, traffic can be

“sniffed” on the Ethernet or WDS interfaces (if configured) using third-party packages. Most problems can be avoided by

ensuring that 802.1Q compliant VLAN tags containing the proper VLAN ID have been inserted in the bridged frames. The

VLAN ID in the header should correspond to the user’s assigned network name.

What if network traffic is being directed to a nonexistent host?

• All sessions are disconnected, traffic is lost, and a Forced Reload is necessary.

• Workaround: you can configure the switch to mimic the nonexistent host.

I have just configured the Management ID and now I can't manage the AP?

• Check to ensure your password is correct. If your password is incorrect or all inbound packets do NOT have the

correct tag, then a Forced Reload is necessary.

Troubleshooting AP-700 User Guide

Symptoms and Solutions

153

CAUTION: The Forced Reload procedure disconnects all users and resets all values to factory defaults.

Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)

The AP Does Not Work

1. Verify that you are using a standard UTP Category 5 cable.

2. Try a different port on the same PoE hub (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works, there is probably

a faulty port or bad RJ-45 port connection.

3. If possible, try to connect the AP to a different PoE hub.

4. Try using a different Ethernet cable – if it works, there is probably a faulty connection over the long cable, or a bad

RJ-45 connection.

5. Check power plug and hub.

6. If the Ethernet link goes down, check the cable, cable type, switch, and hub.

There Is No Data Link

1. Verify that the indicator for the port is “on.”

2. Verify that the PoE hub is connected to the Ethernet network with a good connection.

3. Verify that the Ethernet cable is Category 5 or better and is less than 100 meters (approximately 325 feet) in length

from the Ethernet source to the AP.

4. Try to connect a different device to the same port on the PoE hub – if it works and a link is established, there is

probably a faulty data link in the AP.

5. Try to re-connect the AP to a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly) – if it works, there is

probably a faulty output or input port in the PoE hub or a bad RJ-45 connection.

“Overload” Indications

1. Verify that you are not using a cross-over cable between the PoE output port and the AP.

2. Verify that there is no short over any of the twisted pair cables.

3. Move the device into a different output port (remember to move the input port accordingly); if it works, there is

probably a faulty port or bad RJ-45 connection.

Recovery Procedures

154

Recovery Procedures

The most common installation problems relate to IP addressing. For example, without the TFTP server IP Address, you

will not be able to download a new AP Image to the AP. IP Address management is fundamental. We suggest you create

a chart to document and validate the IP addresses for your system.

If the password is lost or forgotten, you will need to reset the AP to default values. The Soft Reset to Factory Defaults and

Hard Reset to Factory Defaults procedures reset configuration settings, but do not change the current AP Image.

If the AP has a corrupted software image, follow the Forced Reload procedure to erase the current AP Image and

download a new image.

Soft Reset to Factory Defaults

Use this procedure to reset the network configuration values, including the password, IP address, and subnet mask. The

current AP Image is not deleted.

1. Click Commands > Reset.

2. Click Reset to Factory Default; the device is reset to its factory default state.

3. If not using DHCP, use the ScanTool or use CLI over a serial connection to set the IP address, subnet mask, and other

IP parameters. See Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI information.

If you do not have access to the HTTP or CLI interfaces, use the procedure described in Hard Reset to Factory Defaults.

Hard Reset to Factory Defaults

If you cannot access the unit or you have lost its password, you can reset the unit to the factory default settings using the

Reload button on the unit, as described below.

1. Using the end of a paper clip or pin, depress and hold the Reload button on the back of the unit for a minimum of 5

seconds but no more than 10 seconds. The configuration is deleted from the unit and the unit reboots, using a factory

default configuration.

NOTE: You need to use a pin or the end of a paperclip to press the button.

CAUTION: If you hold the Reload button for longer than 20 seconds, you may go into Forced Reload mode, which

erases the unit’s embedded software. This software must be reloaded through an Ethernet connection

with access to a TFTP server. See Forced Reload below for instructions.

2. If not using DHCP, use the ScanTool or use CLI over a serial connection to set the IP address, subnet mask, and other

IP parameters. See Command Line Interface (CLI) for CLI information.

Forced Reload

With Forced Reload, you bring the unit into bootloader mode by erasing the embedded software. Use this procedure only

as a last resort if the unit does not boot and the procedure did not help.

CAUTION: By completing this procedure, the embedded software in the AP will be erased. You will need to reload the

software before the unit is operational.

To do a forced reload:

1. While the unit is running, use a pin or the end of a paperclip to press the RESET button.

The AP reboots and the indicators begin to flash.

2. Press and hold the RELOAD button for about 20 seconds until the POWER LED turns amber.

The AP deletes the current AP Image.

3. Follow one of the procedures below to load a new AP Image to the Access Point:

–Download a New Image Using ScanTool

Recovery Procedures

155

–Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI

Because the CLI option requires a physical connection to the unit’s serial port, Proxim recommends the ScanTool

option.

Download a New Image Using ScanTool

To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and

to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single

computer running both programs).

ScanTool detects if an Access Point does not have a valid software image installed. In this case, the TFTP Server and

Image File Name parameters are enabled in the ScanTool’s Change screen so you can download a new image to the

unit. (These fields are grayed out if ScanTool does not detect a software image problem.)

Preparing to Download the AP Image

Before starting, you need to know the Access Point’s IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the AP

Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image to be

downloaded.

Download Procedure

Follow these steps to use ScanTool to download a software image to an Access Point with a missing image:

1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com. See Download the Software for more detailed

instructions.

1. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server.

2. Launch ScanTool.

3. Highlight the entry for the AP you want to update and click Change.

4. Set IP Address Type to Static.

NOTE: You need to assign static IP information temporarily to the Access Point since its DHCP client functionality is not

available when no image is installed on the device.

5. Enter an unused IP address that is valid on your network in the IP Address field. You may need to contact your

network administrator to get this address.

6. Enter the network’s Subnet Mask in the field provided.

7. Enter the network’s Gateway IP Address, if necessary. You may need to contact your network administrator to get

this address. You should only need to enter the default gateway address (169.254.128.133) if the Access Point and

the TFTP server are separated by a router.

8. Enter the IP address of your TFTP server in the field provided.

9. Enter the Image File Name (including the file extension). Enter the full directory path and file name. If the file is

located in the default TFTP directory, you need enter only the file name.

10.Click OK.

The Access Point will reboot and the download will begin automatically. You should see downloading activity begin

after a few seconds within the TFTP server’s status screen.

11.Click OK when prompted that the device has been updated successfully to return to the Scan List screen.

12.Click Cancel to close the ScanTool.

13.When the download process is complete, configure the AP.

Download a New Image Using the Bootloader CLI

To download the AP Image, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides.

This can be any computer on the LAN or connected to the AP with a cross-over Ethernet cable.

Recovery Procedures

157

[Device name]> show

[Device name]> reboot

The AP will reboot and then download the image file. You should see downloading activity begin after a few seconds

within the TFTP server’s status screen.

8. When the download process is complete, configure the AP.

Setting IP Address using Serial Port

Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically

provides the AP IP address.

Hardware and Software Requirements

• Standard straight-through serial data (RS-232) cable (not included with shipment).

• ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.

Attaching the Serial Port Cable

1. Connect one end of the serial cable to the AP and the other end to a serial port on your computer.

2. Power on the computer and AP, if necessary.

Initializing the IP Address using CLI

After installing the serial port cable, you may use the CLI to communicate with the AP. CLI supports most generic terminal

emulation programs, such as HyperTerminal (which is included with the Windows operating systems). In addition, many

web sites offer shareware or commercial terminal programs you can download. Once the IP address has been assigned,

you can use the HTTP interface or the CLI over Telnet to complete configuration.

Follow these steps to assign the AP an IP address:

1. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:

• Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>

• Baud rate: 9600

•Data Bits: 8

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

• Parity: None

2. Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.

HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.

3. Press the RESET button on the AP.

The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity, and then displays a CLI prompt, similar to the

example below. This process may take up to 90 seconds.

[Device name]> Please enter password:

4. Enter the CLI password (default is public).

The terminal displays a welcome message and then the CLI Prompt:

[Device name]>

5. Enter show ip. Network parameters appear:

6. Change the IP address and other network values using set and reboot CLI commands, similar to the example below

(use your own IP address and subnet mask). Note that IP Address Type is set to Dynamic by default. If you have a

DHCP server on your network, you should not need to manually configure the Access Point’s IP address; the Access

Point will obtain an IP address from the network’s DHCP server during boot-up.

After each entry the CLI reminds you to reboot; however wait to reboot until all commands have been entered.

[Device name]> set ipaddrtype static

[Device name]> set ipaddr <IP Address>

[Device name]> set ipsubmask <IP Subnet Mask>

[Device name]> set ipgw <Default Gateway IP Address>

[Device name]> show ip (to confirm your new settings)

[Device name]> reboot 0

7. After the AP reboots, verify the new IP address by reconnecting to the CLI and enter a show ip command.

Alternatively, you can ping the AP from a network computer to confirm that the new IP address has taken effect.

8. When the proper IP address is set, use the HTTP interface or CLI over Telnet to configure the rest of the unit’s

operating parameters.

RADIUS Authentication Server

If you enabled RADIUS Authentication on the AP, make sure that your network’s RADIUS servers are operational.

Otherwise, clients will not be able to log in. There are several reasons the authentication server services might be

unavailable, here are two typical things to check:

• Make sure you have the proper RADIUS authentication server information setup configured in the AP. Check the

RADIUS Authentication Server’s Shared Secret and Destination Port number (default is 1812; for RADIUS

Accounting, the default is 1813).

• Make sure the RADIUS authentication server RAS setup matches the AP.

TFTP Server

The “Trivial File Transfer Protocol” (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload

configuration files from the AP for backup or copying, and you can download configuration files or new software images.

The TFTP software is located on the installation CD.

If a TFTP server is not configured and running, you will not be able to download and upload images and configuration

files to/from the AP. Remember that the TFTP server does not have to be local, so long as you have a valid TFTP IP

address. Note that you do not need a TFTP server running unless you want to transfer files to or from the AP.

After the TFTP server is installed:

• Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.

• Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP Address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server is

connected.

• Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files (on the TFTP server’s Security tab), with

no automatic shutdown or time-out (on the Auto Close tab).

•A CLI Batch file is a user-editable configuration file that provides a user-friendly way to change the AP configuration

through a file upload. The CLI Batch file is an ASCII file that facilitates Auto Configuration because it does not require

the user to access one of the AP’s management interfaces to make configuration changes as is required with the

proprietary LTV format configuration file.

• The CLI is available through both the Serial Port interface and over the Ethernet interface using Telnet.

NOTE: All CLI commands and parameters are case-sensitive.

General Notes

Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge

To use this document effectively, you should have a working knowledge of Local Area Networking (LAN) concepts,

network access infrastructures, and client-server relationships. In addition, you should be familiar with software setup

procedures for typical network operating systems and servers.

Notation Conventions

• Computer prompts are shown as constant width type. For example: [Device-Name]>

• Information that you input as shown is displayed in bold constant width type. For example:

[Device name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12

• The names of keyboard keys, software buttons, and field names are displayed in bold type. For example: Click the

Configure button.

• Screen names are displayed in bold italics. For example, the System Status screen.

Important Terminology

• Configuration Files - Database files containing the current Access Point configuration. Configuration items include the

IP Address and other network-specific values. Config files may be downloaded to the Access Point or uploaded for

backup or troubleshooting.

• Download vs. Upload - Downloads transfer files to the Access Point. Uploads transfer files from the Access Point. The

TFTP server performs file transfers in both directions.

• Group - A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is composed of several

related parameters. Groups can also contain Tables. All items for a given Group can be displayed with a show

<Group> CLI Command.

• Image File - The Access Point software executed from RAM. To update an Access Point you typically download a new

Image File. This file is often referred to as the “AP Image”.

• Parameter - A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the Access

Point must have a unique IP Address and the Wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with

the CLI set Command, and view them with the CLI show Command.

• Table - Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to the

SNMP Table. All items for a given Table can be displayed with a show <Table> CLI Command.

• TFTP - Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

163

Command Line Interface (CLI) Variations

Administrators use the CLI to control Access Point operation and monitor network statistics. The AP supports two types

of CLI: the Bootloader CLI and the normal CLI. The Bootloader CLI provides a limited command set, and is used when

the current AP Image is bad or missing. The Bootloader CLI allows you to assign an IP Address and download a new

image. Once the image is downloaded and running, the Access Point uses the normal CLI. This guide covers the normal

CLI unless otherwise specified.

Bootloader CLI

The Bootloader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the AP. This interface is

only accessible via the serial interface if the AP does not contain a software image or a download image command over

TFTP has failed.

The Bootloader CLI provides you with the ability to configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software

image to the device.

The following functions are supported by the Bootloader CLI:

• configuration of initial device parameters using the set command

•show command to view the device’s configuration parameters

•help command to provide additional information on all commands supported by the Bootloader CLI

•reboot command to reboot the device

The parameters supported by the Bootloader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:

• System Name

• IP Address Assignment Type

• IP Address

•IP Mask

• Gateway IP Address

• TFTP Server IP Address

• Image File Name (including the file extension)

The following lists display the results of using the help command in the Bootloader CLI:

CLI Command Types

This guide divides CLI Commands into two categories: Operational and Parameter Controls.

Operational CLI Commands

These commands affect Access Point behavior, such as downloading, rebooting, and so on. After entering commands

(and parameters, if any) press the Enter key to execute the Command Line.

Operational commands include:

•?: Typing a question mark lists CLI Commands or parameters, depending on usage (you do not need to type Enter

after typing this command)

•done, exit, quit: Terminates the CLI session

•download: Uses a TFTP server to download “image” files, “config” files, “bootloader upgrade” files, a “license” file,

“SSL certificates”, “SSL private keys”, “SSH public keys”, “SSH private keys”, or “CLI Batch Files” to the Access Point

•help: Displays general CLI help information or command help information, such as command usage and syntax

•history: Remembers commands to help avoid re-entering complex statements

•passwd: Sets the Access Point’s CLI password

•reboot: Reboots the Access Point in the specified time

•search: Lists the parameters in a specified Table

•upload: Uses TFTP server to upload “config” files from Access Point to TFTP default directory or specified path

? (List Commands)

This command can be used in a number of ways to display available commands and parameters.

The following table lists each operation and provides a basic example. Following the table are detailed examples and

display results for each operation.

Example 4. Display Prompts for Successive Parameters

Enter the command, a space, and then ?. Then, when the parameter prompt appears, enter the parameter value. The

parameter is changed and a new CLI line is echoed with the new value (in the first part of the following example, the

value is the IP Address of the TFTP server).

After entering one parameter, you may add another ? to the new CLI line to see the next parameter prompt, and so on

until you have entered all of the required parameters. The following example shows how this is used for the download

Command. The last part of the example shows the completed download Command ready for execution.

Parameter Control Commands

The following sections cover the two Parameter Control Commands (show and set) and include several tables showing

parameter properties. These commands allow you to view (show) all parameters and statistics and to change (set)

parameters.

•show: To see any Parameter or Statistic value, you can specify a single parameter, a Group, or a Table.

•set: Use this CLI Command to change parameter values. You can use a single CLI statement to modify Tables, or you

can modify each parameter separately.

“show” CLI Command

Displays the value of the specified parameter, or displays all parameter values of a specified group (parameter table).

Groups contain Parameters and Tables. Tables contain parameters for a series of similar entities.

To see a definition and syntax example, type only show and then press the Enter key. To see a list of available

parameters, enter a question mark (?) after show (example: show ?).

Syntax:

[Device-Name]>show <parameter>

[Device-Name]>show <group>

[Device-Name]>show network

[Device-Name]>show mgmtipaccesstbl

“set” CLI Command

Sets (modifies) the value of the specified parameter. To see a definition and syntax example, type only set and then press

the Enter key. To see a list of available parameters, enter a space, then a question mark (?) after set (example: set?).

Syntax:

[Device-Name]>set <parameter> <value>

[Device-Name]>set <table> <index> <argument 1> <value 1> ... <argument N> <value N>

Example:

[Device-Name]>set sysloc “Main Lobby”

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

Configuring Objects that Require Reboot

Certain objects supported by the Access Point require a device reboot in order for the changes to take effect. In order to

inform the end-user of this behavior, the CLI provides informational messages when the user has configured an object

that requires a reboot. The following messages are displayed as a result of the configuring such object or objects.

Example 1: Configuring objects that require the device to be rebooted

The following message is displayed every time the user has configured an object that requires the device to be rebooted.

[Device-Name]>set ipaddr 135.114.73.10

The following elements require reboot

ipaddr

Example 2: Executing the “exit”, “quit”, or “done” commands when an object that requires reboot has been

configured

In addition to the above informational message, the CLI also provides a message as a result of the exit, quit, or done

command if changes have been made to objects that require reboot. If you make changes to objects that require reboot

and execute the exit command the following message is displayed:

[Device-Name]>exit<CR> OR quit<CR> OR done<CR>

Modifications have been made to parameters that require the device to be rebooted. These changes will only take effect after the next reboot.

“set” and “show” Command Examples

In general, you will use the CLI show Command to view current parameter values and use the CLI set Command to

change parameter values. As shown in the following examples, parameters may be set individually or all parameters for a

given table can be set with a single statement.

Example 1 - Set the Access Point IP Address Parameter

Syntax:

[Device-Name]>set <parameter name> <parameter value>

Example:

[Device-Name]> set ipaddr 10.0.0.12

IP Address will be changed when you reboot the Access Point. The CLI reminds you when rebooting is required for a

change to take effect. To reboot immediately, enter reboot 0 (zero) at the CLI prompt.

Command Line Interface (CLI) AP-700 User Guide

CLI Command Types

171

Example 2 - Create a table entry or row

Use 0 (zero) as the index to a table when creating an entry. When creating a table row, only the mandatory table elements

are required (comment is usually an optional table element). For optional table elements, the default value is generally

applied if you do not specify a value.

Syntax:

[Device-Name]>set <table name> <table index> <element 1> <value 1> …

Example:

[Device-Name]> set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

A new table entry is created for IP address 10.0.0.10 with a 255.255.0.0 subnet mask.

Example 3 - Modify a table entry or row

Use the index to be modified and the table elements you would like to modify. For example, suppose the IP Access Table

has one entry and you wanted to modify the IP address:

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.11

You can also modify several elements in the table entry. Enter the index number and specific table elements you would

like to modify. (Hint: Use the search Command to see the elements that belong to the table.)

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.12 ipmask 255.255.255.248

cmt “First Row”

Example 4 - Enable, Disable, or Delete a table entry or row

The following example illustrates how to manage the second entry in a table.

Syntax:

[Device-Name]>set <Table> index status <enable, disable, delete>

[Device-Name]>set <Table> index status <1=enable, 2=disable, 3=delete>

Example:

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status enable

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status disable

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status delete

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 2 status 2

NOTE: You may need to enable a disabled table entry before you can change the entry’s elements.

Example 5 - Show the Group Parameters

This example illustrates how to view all elements of a group or table.

Syntax:

[Device-Name]> show <group name>

Example:

[Device-Name]>show network

The CLI displays network group parameters. Note show network and show ip return the same data.

Using Tables and Strings

173

Using Tables and Strings

Working with Tables

Each table element (or parameter) must be specified, as in the example below.

[Device-Name]>set mgmtipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 ipmask 255.255.0.0

Below are the rules for creating, modifying, enabling/disabling, and deleting table entries.

•Creation

– The table name is required.

– The table index is required – for table entry/instance creation the index is always zero (0).

– The order in which the table arguments or objects are entered in not important.

– Parameters that are not required can be omitted, in which case they will be assigned the default value.

• Modification

– The table name is required.

– The table index is required – to modify the table, “index” must be the index of the entry to be modified.

– Only the table objects that are to be modified need to be specified. Not all the table objects are required.

– If multiple table objects are to be modified the order in which they are entered is not important.

– If the entire table entry is to be modified, all the table objects have to be specified.

• Enabling/Disabling

– The table name is required.

– The table index is required – for table enabling/disabling the index should be the index of the entry to be

enabled/disabled.

– The entry’s new state (either “enable” or “disable”) is required.

• Deletion

– The table name is required.

– The table index is required – for table deletion the index should be the index of the entry to be deleted.

– The word “delete” is required.

Using Strings

Since there are several string objects supported by the AP, a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted

correctly by the command line parser. For this CLI implementation, the single quote or double quote character can be

used at the beginning and at the end of the string.

For example:

[Device-Name]> set sysloc Lobby - Does not need quote marks

[Device-Name]> set sysloc “Front Lobby” - Requires quote marks.

The scenarios supported by this CLI are:

“My Desk in the office” Double Quotes

‘My Desk in the office’ Single Quotes

“My ‘Desk’ in the office” Single Quotes within Double Quotes

‘My “Desk” in the office’ Double Quotes within Single Quotes

“Daniel’s Desk in the office” One Single Quote within Double Quotes

‘Daniel”s Desk in the office’ One Double Quote within Single Quotes

Command Line Interface (CLI) AP-700 User Guide

Using Tables and Strings

174

The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. The single quote or double quote only has to be

used for string objects that contain blank space characters. If the string object being used does not contain blank spaces,

then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this section are not required.

NOTE: Proxim recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI

commands, see Change Passwords.

Log into the AP using Telnet

The CLI commands can be used to access, configure, and manage the AP using Telnet. Follow these steps:

1. Confirm that your computer’s IP address is in the same IP subnet as the AP.

NOTE: If you have not previously configured the Access Point’s IP address and do not have a DHCP server on

the network, the Access Point will default to an IP address of 169.254.128.132.

2. Go to the DOS command prompt on your computer.

3. Type telnet <IP Address of the unit>.

4. Enter the CLI password (default is public).

NOTE: Proxim recommends changing your default passwords immediately. To perform this operation using CLI

commands, see Change Passwords.

Enabling QoS

Configuring QoS Policies

The QoS group manages the QoS policies:

* QoS must be enabled on the wireless interface before spectralink can be enabled.

† A priority mapping needs to be specified for a QoS Policy. The priority mapping depends on the type of policy configured. For Layer 2 policy

types (inbound or outbound) a mapping index from the 802.1p to 802.1D table should be specified. For Layer 3 policy types (inbound or out-

bound) a mapping index from the IP DSCP to 802.1D table should be specified. The mapping index, in both cases, depends on the number of

mappings configured by the user. For SpectraLink policy type a mapping is not required.

Specifying the Mapping between 802.1p and 802.1D Priorities

The QoS 802.1p to 802.1D Mapping Table specifies the mapping between 802.1P and 802.1D priorities.

Specifying the Mapping between IP Precedence/DSCP Ranges and 802.1D Priorities

The QoS IP DSCP to 802.1D Mapping Table specifies the mapping between IP Precedence/DSCP Ranges and 802.1D

priorities.

QoS Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters

The following commands configure the client (STA) and AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters.

The EDCA parameter set provides information needed by the client stations for proper QoS operation during the wireless

contention period. These parameters are used by the QoS enabled AP to establish policy, to change policies when

accepting new stations or new traffic, or to adapt to changes in the offered load. The EDCA parameters assign priorities

to traffic types where higher priority packets gain access to the wireless medium more frequently than lower priority

packets.

NOTE: We have defined default recommended values for EDCA parameters; we recommend not modifying EDCA

parameters unless strictly necessary.

Defining the QoS Policy used for a Wireless Interface SSID

The QoS Policy object configures the QoS policy to be used per wireless interface SSID. This object is part of the

Wireless Interface SSID Table; the CLI command for this table is “wifssidtbl.”

* A QoS Policy number needs to be specified in the SSID table. This depends on the QoS policies configured by the user. Once the user has

configured QoS policies, the user should specify the policy to be used for that SSID.

CLI Batch File

221

CLI Batch File

A CLI Batch file is a user-editable file that lists a series of CLI set commands, that can be uploaded to the Access Point to

change its configuration. The Access Point executes the CLI commands specified in the CLI Batch file after upload and

the configuration gets changed accordingly. A CLI Batch file can also be used for Auto Configuration.

The CLI Batch file does not replace the existing LTV format configuration file, which continues to define the configuration

of the AP.

The CLI Batch file contains a list of CLI commands that the AP will execute. The AP performs the commands in the file

immediately after the file is uploaded to the AP manually or during Auto Configuration. The AP parses the file and

executes the CLI commands. Commands that do not require a reboot take effect immediately, while commands that

require a reboot (typically commands affecting a wireless interface) will take effect after reboot.

Auto Configuration and the CLI Batch File

The Auto Configuration feature allows download of the LTV format configuration file or the CLI Batch file. The AP detects

whether the file uploaded is LTV format or a CLI Batch file. If the AP detects a CLI Batch file (a file with extension .cli), the

AP executes the file immediately.

The AP will reboot after executing the CLI Batch file. Auto Configuration will not result in repeated reboots if the CLI Batch

file contains rebootable parameters.

CLI Batch File Format and Syntax

The CLI Batch file must be named with a .cli extension to be recognized by the AP. The maximum file size allowed is 100

Kbytes, and files with larger sizes cannot be uploaded to the AP. The CLI commands supported in the CLI Batch File are

a subset of the legal AP CLI commands.

The follow commands are supported:

• Set commands

• Reboot command (the reboot command ignores the argument (time)

Each command must be separated by a new line.

NOTE: The following commands are not supported: Show command, Debug command, Undebug command, Upload

command, Download command, Passwd command, Kill command, and the Exit, Quit, and Done commands.

Sample CLI Batch File

The following is a sample CLI Batch File:

set sysname system1

set sysloc sunnyvale

set sysctname contact1

set sysctphone 1234567890

set sysctemail email@domain.com

set ipaddr 11.0.0.66

set sysloghbstatus enable

set sysloghbinterval 5

set wif 3 netname london

reboot

Command Line Interface (CLI) AP-700 User Guide

CLI Batch File

222

Reboot Behavior

When a CLI Batch file contains a reboot command, the reboot will occur only after the entire CLI Batch file has been

executed.

There are two methods of uploading the CLI Batch File:

• Upload

• Upload and reboot (this option is to be used for a CLI Batch file containing the configuration parameters that require a

reboot)

CLI Batch File Error Log

If there is any error during the execution of the CLI Batch file, the AP will stop executing the file. The AP generates traps

for all errors and each trap contains the following information:

• Start of execution

• Original filename of the uploaded file

• End of execution (along with the status of execution)

• Line number and description of failures that occurred during execution

The AP logs all the errors during execution and stores them in the Flash memory in a CLI Batch File Error Log named

“CBFERR.LOG”. The CLI Batch File Error Log can be downloaded though TFTP, HTTP, or CLI file transfer to a specified

host.

Statement of Warranty

Warranty Coverage

Proxim Wireless Corporation warrants that its Products are manufactured solely from new parts, conform substantially to

specifications, and will be free of defects in material and workmanship for a Warranty Period of 1 year from the date of

purchase.

Repair or Replacement

In the event a Product fails to perform in accordance with its specification during the Warranty Period, Proxim offers

return-to-factory repair or replacement, with a thirty (30) business-day turnaround from the date of receipt of the

defective Product at a Proxim Wireless Corporation Repair Center. When Proxim Wireless has reasonably determined

that a returned Product is defective and is still under Warranty, Proxim Wireless shall, at its option, either: (a) repair the

defective Product; (b) replace the defective Product with a refurbished Product that is equivalent to the original; or (c)

where repair or replacement cannot be accomplished, refund the price paid for the defective Product. The Warranty

Period for repaired or replacement Products shall be ninety (90) days or the remainder of the original Warranty Period,

whichever is longer. This constitutes Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Proxim Wireless’s sole and exclusive

liability under this Warranty.

The express warranties set forth in this Agreement will not apply to defects in a Product caused; (i) through no fault of

Proxim Wireless during shipment to or from Buyer, (ii) by the use of software other than that provided with or installed in

the Product, (iii) by the use or operation of the Product in an application or environment other than that intended or

recommended by Proxim Wireless, (iv) by modifications, alterations, or repairs made to the Product by any party other

than Proxim Wireless or Proxim Wireless’s authorized repair partners, (v) by the Product being subjected to unusual

physical or electrical stress, or (vii) by failure of Buyer to comply with any of the return procedures specified in this

Statement of Warranty.
