Optimizing location
After powering on the SkyAccess DualBand, use the device’s LEDs to
identify the optimal location for mounting—a location where it can easily
acquire a signal from the wireless mesh network and quickly create links.
Confirm signal acquisition
ƒ
Position the SkyAccess DualBand near the intended mounting
location and watch the WAN Act LED for activity.
The LED starts to blink when it has acquired a signal from the
network and is attempting to set up a connection.
If the WAN Act LED does not start blinking within 30 seconds, try
changing the orientation of the SkyAccess DualBand or walk to a new
location; then repeat the process until the LED begins blinking.
When the LED starts blinking, make minor adjustments to find the
location where the signal is strongest. (The faster the LED blinks, the
stronger the signal.)
When the WAN Act LED blinks steadily and at a high rate, you have
an optimal signal. Go to the next section to verify the network
connection.
Verify network connection
ƒ
Watch the WAN Link LED for activity.
Within approximately 90 seconds of locating a signal, the WAN Link
LED should start to blink—first slowly, then more quickly.
When the WAN Link LED is solid and the WAN Act LED is blinking,
the SkyAccess DualBand has established an authorized connection
to the network, indicating that the current location is suitable for
mounting
If both the WAN Act LED and the WAN Link LED continuing blinking,
a signal is available but is not strong enough for reliable service.
Keep trying different locations until you can confirm a network
connection.

NOTE To optimize your SkyAccess DualBand installation, ask your
network administrator (at the Network Operations Center) to
measure signal strength on the node to which the SkyAccess
DualBand has established a link.
For more information on LED states, see Table 1.

service or there is a provisioning
problem that’s preventing the device
from coming online. Contact your

Blinking
Device is within the coverage area of
a wireless network. Blink rate
communicates signal strength:
• Fast (8x per second) = excellent
• Medium (4x per second) = good
• Slow (<1x per second) = poor
• None = no reception

Mounting the SkyAccess DualBand
After determining an optimal location the SkyAccess DualBand can then
be mounted in accordance with the procedure below.
Before mounting the device, disconnect the CAT5 cable from the power
injector to power down the device.
Connect the 2.4 GHz antenna.
To provide Wi-Fi connectivity, the SkyAccess DualBand requires
attachment of the 2.4 GHz antenna included with the device. Screw
the antenna onto the standard N connector on the back of the
SkyAccess DualBand.

Use the supplied clamps to secure the SkyAccess DualBand to the
pole; then loop the Ethernet cable around the mounting pole and
secure it with tie wraps.
Figure 9. Securing the SkyAccess DualBand
Tighten the bolts securely on the mounting hardware.
Reconnect the CAT5 cable to the port on the power injector to
restore power to the SkyAccess DualBand.

Connecting to the wireless network
After mounting the SkyAccess DualBand, set up a connection to the
wireless network via a local computer or LAN. Once connected, a
subscriber can use the wireless network to gain access to Internet
services and applications.
Connection to the SkyAccess DualBand is accomplished with Ethernet,
or through the onboard access point to establish a wireless connection.

Connect to the wireless network via a WiFi connection
From a Wi-Fi/WPA-PSK capable computer within operating range of
the access point, open the Network control panel and set up a
wireless connection with the IP address 192.168.0.10 and Netmask
255.255.255.0.
From the Network Connection control panel choose the default SSID
provided with the SkyAccess DualBand— “SkyAccessDualBand”.
At the password prompt, enter “publicpublic”.

Configuring the SkyAccess DualBand
A SkyAccess DualBand requires two different configurations: a network
configuration that allows it to operate on the wireless mesh network, and
an access point configuration that allows the device to support local
wireless connections via Wi-Fi.
For information about configuring both the device and the access point,
see the document “SkyPilot Network Administration”,
available in electronic format from the SkyPilot website at
www.skypilot.com/support/.

Accessing SkyAccess DualBand
Command-Line Interfaces
This appendix describes how to access the command-line interfaces that
SkyPilot SkyAccess DualBand provides for provisioning and
troubleshooting. You can connect to two different interfaces on the
SkyAccess DualBand: an interface with the device that operates as a
node on the wireless mesh network, and a separate interface with the
access point that extends Wi-Fi connectivity to subscribers.
Connect to the SkyAccess interface
You can connect to a SkyAccess DualBand and access the commandline interface through Telnet over an Ethernet connection. After logging in
(by supplying a password), you can enter commands at the command
prompt.
Mount and cable the SkyAccess DualBand according to the
instructions in Chapter 3.
Prepare a PC or laptop.
Open the network settings panel and assign the computer the IP
address 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
3 Connect the computer to the SkyAccess DualBand according to the
instructions in Chapter 3 (see on page Error! Bookmark not
defined.).
Start a Telnet session.

(192.168.0.2).
Log in by entering the password at the command prompt. (The
default is public.)
Figure 11. Example Telnet login
After making an Ethernet connection to the SkyAccess DualBand, you
can manage and troubleshoot the device using a wide range of
commands available through the command-line interface. For detailed
descriptions of the commands, as well as sample output for many of
them, see SkyPilot Network Administration.
For comprehensive guidelines to troubleshooting devices on your
SkyPilot wireless mesh network, see Getting Started with the
SkyPilot Network.
Connect to the access point interface
You can connect to the access point command-line interface via Telnet
over a wireless network connection. (Typically, you will use this technique
to confirm the IP address of the access point component of the SkyPilot
DualBand.)
Prepare a PC or laptop.
You will need a Wi-Fi/WPA-PSK capable computer that’s within
operating range of the access point and a Telnet application you can
use to open a connection between the devices.

The access point component of SkyAccess DualBand ships with the
default IP address 192.168.0.3.
Open the connection to the access point.
From your Telnet application, open a connection to the access point.
Log in by entering the default user name (admin) and password
(public) at the command prompt.
