PR ODU CT O VE RVI EW PRODUCT DESCRIPTION .................................................. AirPro Gold is easy to install and configure. All software controls are included for network administration. Initial configuration is implemented via • a switch bank of twelve DIP switches, or • a Command Line Interface running on a terminal, or • the Site Manager application running on a PC connected to the AirPro Gold unit through a local area network (LAN) or through the public telephone network AirPro Gold offers wide area network connectivity when cables cannot be used due to distance, physical obstructions, or price constraints. The wireless network can be dynamically reconfigured to provide new permanent or temporary services. Adding or removing nodes does not affect network operation. AirPro Gold lowers networking costs by combining routing and wireless transceiver functions in a single unit. It provides remote downloading of firmware and provides password and hard-coded serial number protected management. The Ethernet 10/100 base-T port connects to the LAN. TOPOLOGIES AirPro Gold provides bi-directional communication for multiple WAN nodes. The wireless network can be configured to one of three network topologies: • Point-to-point—where two nodes are communicating directly with each other (see section Point-to-Point Topology on page 2-1) • Peer-to-peer—where all nodes in a network communicate directly with one another (see section Peer-to-Peer Topology on page 2-2) • Centralized (Star base)—where the node at the center of the network acts as a switching device for communication between remote nodes (see section Centralized (Star) Topology on page 2-3) • Centralized (Star remote)—for remote stations in centralized topology.Star remote can send the Data frame only when it gets the permission from Star base.(see section Centralized (Star) Topology on page 2-3) Hardware Installation Guide 1-3 1 PRO DUC T OV ERV IEW Product Description FRONT PANEL Ethernet RS232 RSSI Alarm Link Ethernet Link Ethernet Activity Data TX Power APG2_008 Figure 1-2 AirPro Gold Front Panel The AirPro Gold front panel (see Figure 1-2) includes: ➀ETHERNET—RJ-45 jack for Ethernet connection (10/100 base-T); illuminated green LED indicates unit sees Ethernet connection, OFF indicates no connection; illuminated yellow LED indicates no traffic on the Ethernet bus, flashing indicates traffic on the bus ➁RS232—RS-232 port for direct connection to a terminal or external telephone modem ➂DIP SWITCHES—12 up/down (ON/OFF) toggle switches for manual RF configuration (under removable metal plate) ➃RSSI—7-element LED bar that illuminates during normal operation to indicate the quality of the receive signal; sequential illumination of each LED during startup indicates that the initialization self-test is in progress; no illumination of the LEDs at the end of startup indicates successful completion of self-test ➄Front Panel LED Indicators ALARM—Red LED illuminates when major events in the link (including remote units fail).

The term network topology refers to the logical layout of a network. It defines how the network elements will communicate with each other, how the information will be transmitted, and how the information will be routed through the network. PACKET-BASED NETWORKS .................................................. Packet-based networks are most suitable for networks that involve largescale data transmissions for multiple users at the same time. There is a guaranteed minimum throughput for a packet-based network, but the actual throughput realized by a packet-based network node will depend on • the number of users in the network, and • how much traffic is being generated by each node at any given time The advantage of a packet-based network is that multiple transmissions can travel along the network at the same time, using whatever path is appropriate to the routing from the source to the destination. The most significant characteristic of packet-based networks is the wireless interface access protocols they use, such as CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance), which can result in more efficient use of the aggregate bandwidth by dynamically allocating throughput to nodes based on demand. AirPro Gold® supports Point-to-Point, Peer-to-Peer, and Centralized (Star) packet-based network topologies. Each topology has its own optimized wireless protocol. POINT-TO-POINT TOPOLOGY .................................................. In a packet-based point-to-point topology, two nodes are linked directly. The most common application for this topology is the interconnection of Hardware Installation Guide 2-1 WIREL E SS NE TW OR K DE SI GN Peer-to-Peer Topology two LANs. In Figure 2-1, the LANs are connected via a pair of AirPro Gold wireless routers.

PEER-TO-PEER TOPOLOGY .................................................. In peer-to-peer topology (unique to packet-based networks), there are three or more nodes, any one of which can communicate directly with any other node. Since each node has direct access to every other node, the time delay for transferring data between nodes is the least for this type of topology, unless WAN traffic is very high. However, this also implies that each node must have a clear communication path to every other node, that is, there must be clear line of sight. An example of a three node peer-to-peer topology is shown in Figure 22 on page 2-3. 2-2 P-Com AirPro Gold Centralized (Star) Topology Ethernet RS232 RSQ/RSSI Alarm Link Frame TX Ethernet Link Ethernet Activity Power Ethernet Ethernet RS232 RSQ/RSSI .....

Longer ranges can be achieved by using directional antennas with power splitters to connect to all sites. CENTRALIZED (STAR) TOPOLOGY .................................................. In a Star topology, there is one AirPro Gold at a central location designated as a Base Station or Star Base, and several remotes designated as Remote Stations or Star Remotes. The Star Base acts as a switching device. The Star Remotes communicate with each other through the Star Base. An AirPro Gold wireless network with Star topology can connect up to 255 wireless nodes. The MAC protocol used combines random and polling MAC protocols, with positive Data Link acknowledgment that improves the reliability of frame delivery. Figure 2-3 on page 2-4 shows AirPro Gold wireless router nodes in a star topology.

Since the remote sites need only communicate with the central site, directional, high gain antennas can be used. The range of a Star topology network can be increased if the remote nodes are all located within a confined sector from the central site. Communication between two remote sites must be relayed through the central node. Medium access contention on the Star Base is resolved by the specific Star Base MAC protocol. Each Star Remote sends a data frame only after it gets permission from the Star Base. Each frame transmitted by Star Base contains a PID (polling ID) for the wireless cluster. If a polled Star Remote has a frame to transmit, it explicitly sends the frame to the Star Base. The Star Base relays this frame to itself or on to Star Remotes indicated by the DID (destination ID) of the original frame. A polled Star Remote does not reply to a PID if it has no frame to transmit. 2-4 P-Com AirPro Gold 3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION ..... ................................... At each wireless node, the AirPro Gold® unit connects to a LAN, where it functions as a wireless remote access router, connecting LANs through the wireless WAN (wide area network). Each radio is shipped in a carton that contains: • • • • • • • one P-Com AirPro Gold wireless router 0 dbi test antenna AC power cord mounting brackets and hardware for optional rack mounting Site Manager application software P-Com AirPro Gold Installation Guide P-Com AirPro Gold Site Manager Reference After unpacking the shipping carton: Compare the materials in the shipping carton with items listed on the packing list to make sure that you have received everything.
