Introduction 1
1 Introduction
As a standalone access point, the AP-7131 provides small and medium-sized businesses with a
consolidated wired and wireless networking infrastructure, all in a single device. The integrated
router, gateway, firewall, DHCP and AAA Radius servers, VPN, hot-spot gateway and Power-over-
Ethernet (PoE) simplify and reduce the costs associated with networking by eliminating the need to
purchase and manage multiple pieces of equipment.
The AP-7131 is also designed to meet the needs of large, distributed enterprises by converging the
functionality of a thick access point and thin access port into a single device. This mode enables the
deployment of a fully featured intelligent access point that can be centrally configured and managed
via a Motorola wireless switch in either corporate headquarters or a network operations center
(NOC). In the event the connection between the AP-7131 and the wireless switch is lost, a Remote
Site Survivability (RSS) feature ensures the delivery of uninterrupted wireless services at the local or
remote site. All traffic between the adaptive access points and the wireless switch is secured though
an IPSec tunnel. Additionally, compatibility with Motorola’s RF Management Suite allows you to
centrally plan, deploy, monitor, and secure large AP-7131 deployments.
If new to the AP-7131 and access point technology, refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide to
familiarize yourself with access point technology and the feature set exclusive to the Motorola
AP-7131. The guide is available, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.

before installing the AP-7131 to maximize its radio coverage area.
Hardware Installation 5
2.3.1 AP-7131 Antenna Options
Motorola supports two antenna suites for the AP-7131. One antenna suite supporting the 2.4 GHz
band and another antenna suite supporting the 5.2 GHz band. Select an antenna model best suited
to the intended operational environment of your AP-7131.
Antenna connectors for Radio 1 are located in a different location from the Radio 2 antenna
connectors. On single radio versions, the R-SMA connectors can support both bands and should be
connected to a R-SMA dual-band antenna or an appropriate single band antenna. If necessary a
R-SMA to R-BNC adapter (Part No. 25-72178-01) can be purchased separately from Motorola.
Certain Rogue AP Detection and Intrusion Detection features use an AP-7131 radio to perform
dual-band scanning. The dedicated radio should be connected to an appropriate dual-band dipole
antenna (Part No. ML-2452-APA2-01).
NOTE On a single-radio AP-7131, Radio 1 can be configured to be either a 2.4
GHz or 5.2 GHz radio. On a dual-radio model, Radio 1 refers to the
AP-7131’s 2.4 GHz radio and Radio 2 refers to the AP-7131 5.2 GHz radio.
However, there could be some cases where a dual-radio AP-7131 is
performing a Rogue AP detector function. In this scenario, the AP-7131 is
receiving in either 2.4 GHz or 5.2 GHz over the Radio 1 or Radio 2
antennas depending on which radio is selected for the scan.
AP-7131 Access Point: Installation Guide

Hardware Installation 7
When users purchase a Motorola WLAN solution, they often need to place access points in obscure
locations. In the past, a dedicated power source was required for each access point in addition to the
Ethernet infrastructure. This often required an electrical contractor to install power drops at each
access point location. An approved power injector solution merges power and Ethernet into one
cable, reducing the burden of installation and allows optimal AP-7131 placement in respect to the
intended radio coverage area.
The Power Injector is included in certain AP-7131 product SKUs. The Power Injector
(Part No. AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR) is a high power POE Injector delivering up to 30 watts.
The Motorola AP-7131 Power Supply (Part No. 50-14000-247R) is not included with the AP-7131 and
is orderable separately as an accessory.
A separate Power Injector is required for each AP-7131 comprising the network.
The Power Injector can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall mounted
using the power injector’s wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to
before cabling the Power Injector to an Ethernet source and an AP-7131:
CAUTION The AP-7131 supports any standards-based 802.3af high power
complaint power source. However, using the wrong solution (including
a POE system used on a legacy Motorola access point) could severely
damage the AP-7131 and void the product warranty.

• Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector.
• Keep the Power Injector away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
• The Power Injector isn’t a repeater, and does not amplify the Ethernet signal. For optimal
performance, ensure the Power Injector is placed as close as possible to the data port.
To install the Power Injector to an Ethernet data source and AP-7131:
1. Connect the Power Injector to an AC outlet (110VAC to 220VAC).
2. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the network data supply (host) and the Power
Injector Data In connector.
3. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable between the Power Injector Data & Power Out connector
and the AP-7131 GE1/POE port.

does not exceed 100 meters (333 ft).
CAUTION Ensure AC power is supplied to the Power Injector using an AC cable
with an appropriate ground connection approved for the country of
operation.
NOTE Cabling the Power Injector to the AP-7131’s WAN port renders the
AP-7131 non-operational. Only use a AP-PSBIAS-1P3-AFR model Power
Injector with the AP-7131’s GE1/POE (LAN) port.

4. Optionally enter the IP address of the server used to provide system time to the AP-7131
within the Time Server field.
Once the IP address is entered, the AP-7131’s Network Time Protocol (NTP) functionality is
engaged automatically. Refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide for information on
defining alternate time servers and setting a synchronization interval for the AP-7131 to
adjust its displayed time.
5. Click the WAN tab to set a minimum set of parameters for using the WAN interface.
a. Select the Enable WAN Interface checkbox to enable a connection between the
AP-7131 and a larger network or outside world through the WAN port. Disable this
option to effectively isolate the AP-7131’s WAN connection. No connections to a larger
network or the Internet will be possible. MUs cannot communicate beyond the
configured subnets.
b. Select the This Interface is a DHCP Client checkbox to enable DHCP for the AP-7131
WAN connection. This is useful, if the target corporate network or Internet Service
Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to
a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway.
c. Specify an IP address for the AP-7131’s WAN connection. An IP address uses a series
of four numbers expressed in dot notation, for example, 190.188.12.1.
d. Specify a Subnet Mask for the AP-7131’s WAN connection. This number is available
from the ISP for a DSL or cable-modem connection, or from an administrator if the
AP-7131 connects to a larger network. A subnet mask uses a series of four numbers
expressed in dot notation. For example, 255.255.255.0 is a valid subnet mask.
e. Specify a Default Gateway address for the AP-7131’s WAN connection. The ISP or a
network administrator provides this address.
f. Specify the address of a Primary DNS Server. The ISP or a network administrator
provides this address.
6. Optionally, use the Enable PPP over Ethernet checkbox to enable Point-to-Point over
Ethernet (PPPoE) for a high-speed connection that supports this protocol. Most DSL
providers are currently using or deploying this protocol. PPPoE is a data-link protocol for
dialup connections. PPPoE will allow the AP-7131 to use a broadband modem (DSL, cable
modem, etc.) for access to high-speed data networks.
a. Select the Keep Alive checkbox to enable occasional communications over the WAN
port even when client communications to the WAN are idle. Some ISPs terminate
inactive connections, while others do not. In either case, enabling Keep-Alive maintains

the WAN connection, even when there is no traffic. If the ISP drops the connection after
the idle time, the AP-7131 automatically reestablishes the connection to the ISP.
b. Specify a Username entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session
begins, the ISP authenticates the username.
c. Specify a Password entered when connecting to the ISP. When the Internet session
starts, the ISP authenticates the password.
7. Click the LAN tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the AP-7131 LAN interface.
a. Select the Enable LAN Interface checkbox to forward data traffic over the AP-7131
LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.
b. Use the This Interface drop-down menu to specify how network address information is
defined over the AP-7131’s LAN connection. Select DHCP Client if the larger corporate
network uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address
allocation and delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to
a host. Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select
DHCP Server to use the AP-7131 as a DHCP server over the LAN connection.
c. Enter the network-assigned IP Address of the AP-7131.
d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify
the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network.
These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data
transmission.
e. Enter a Default Gateway to define the IP address of a router the AP-7131 uses on the
Ethernet as its default gateway.
f. Enter the Primary DNS Server IP address.
g. If using DHCP Server, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to specify a
range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could still be
assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are
outside of the IP address range assigned to the DHCP server.
8. Enable the radio(s) using the Radio Enable checkbox(es). If using a single radio model,
enable the radio, then select either 802.11a (5 GHz) or 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz) from the RF Band

If using a dual-radio AP-7131, the user can enable both RF bands.
9. Select the WLAN #1 tab (WLANs 1 - 4 are available within the Quick Setup screen) to define
its ESSID security scheme for basic operation.
a. Enter the Extended Services Set Identification (ESSID) and name associated with the
WLAN.
b. Use the Available On checkboxes to define whether the target WLAN is operating over
the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio. Ensure the radio selected has been enabled (see step 8).
10. Once the WLAN’s radio designations have been made, the radio must be configured in
respect to intended 2.4 or 5 GHz radio traffic and the antennas used. Refer to Network
Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration -> Radio1 (or Radio2), and
configure the Radio Settings field (at a minimum). If you know the radio’s Properties,
Performance and Beacon Settings, those fields can also be defined at this time.
Define the Channel Settings, Power Level and 802.11 mode in respect to the 2.4 or 5 GHz
802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n radio traffic and anticipated gain of the antennas.
NOTE A maximum of 16 WLANs are configurable within the AP-7131 Wireless
Configuration screen. The limitation of 16 WLANs exists regardless of the
number of radios supported.
CAUTION Only a qualified wireless network administrator should set the access
point radio configuration. Refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference
Guide for an understanding of the configurable values involved and
their implications. To access the guide, go to
http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
NOTE Even an AP-7131 configured with minimal values must protect its data
against theft and corruption. A security policy should be configured for
WLAN1 as part of the basic configuration outlined in this guide. A security
policy can be configured for the WLAN from within the Quick Setup
screen. Policies can be defined over time and saved to be used as needed
as the AP-7131’s security requirements change. Motorola recommends
you familiarize yourself with the security options available on the AP-7131
before defining a security policy.

11. Click Apply to save any changes to the AP-7131 Quick Setup screen. Navigating away from
the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost, unless you
use the Un-applied Changes pop-up window to overwrite the current settings.
12. Click Undo Changes (if necessary) to undo any changes made. Undo Changes reverts the
settings displayed on the AP-7131 Quick Setup screen to the last saved configuration.
3.2.1 Configuring Basic AP-7131 Security
For testing basic connectivity, there is no reason to configure a server supported authentication
scheme. WEP 128 is described in this guide as a basic security scheme sufficient to protect the
AP-7131’s initial transmissions. For details on configuring more sophisticated authentication and
encryption options available to the AP-7131, refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide
is available on the Motorola Web site, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
To configure WEP 128:
1. From the AP-7131 Quick Setup screen, click the Create button to the right of the Security
Policy item.
The New Security Policy screen displays with the Manually Pre-shared key/No
authentication and No Encryption options selected. Naming and saving such a policy (as is)
would provide no security and might only make sense in a guest network wherein no
sensitive data is either transmitted or received. Consequently, at a minimum, a basic
security scheme (in this case WEP 128) is recommended.
2. Ensure the Name of the security policy entered suits the intended configuration or function
of the policy.
Multiple WLANs can share the same security policy, so be careful not to name security
policies after specific WLANs or risk defining a WLAN to single policy. Motorola
recommends naming the policy after the attributes of the authentication or encryption
type selected.
NOTE For information on configuring the other (more sophisticated) encryption
and authentication options available to the AP-7131, refer to the
AP-7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide is available on the Motorola
Web site, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
AP-7131 Access Point: Installation Guide
30
3. Select the WEP 128 (104 bit key) checkbox.The WEP 128 Setting field displays within the
New Security Policy screen.
4. Configure the WEP 128 Setting field as required to define the Pass Key used to generate
the WEP keys.
5. Click the Apply button to save the security policy and return to the AP-7131 Quick Setup
screen.
Pass Key Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button.
The AP-7131, other proprietary routers and Motorola MUs use the
same algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal
number. Non-Motorola clients and devices need to enter WEP keys
manually as hexadecimal numbers. The AP-7131 and its target
client(s) must use the same pass key to interoperate.
Keys #1-4 Use the Key #1-4 fields to specify key numbers. The key can be
either a hexidecimal or ASCII depending on which option is
selected from the drop-down menu. For WEP 64 (40-bit key), the
keys are 10 hexadecimal characters in length or 5 ASCII characters.
For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters
in length or 13 ASCII characters. Select one of these keys for
activation by clicking its radio button. The AP-7131 and its target
client(s) must use the same key to interoperate.
Basic AP-7131 Configuration 31
At this point, you can either restrict specific MU access to the AP-7131 (using the AP-7131
ACL) or test the AP-7131 for MU interoperability.
3.2.2 Excluding MUs from AP-7131 Association
Optionally, use the AP-7131 Access Control List ACL to specify which MUs can or cannot gain access
to an AP-7131 managed WLAN. By default, all mobile units can gain access. For specific information
on configuring (restricting) MU access, refer to the AP-7131 Product Reference Guide. The guide is
available on the Motorola Web site, at http://support.symbol.com/support/product/manuals.do.
3.2.3 Testing Mobile Unit Connectivity
Verify the AP-7131’s link with an MU by sending Wireless Network Management Protocol (WNMP)
ping packets to the associated MU. Use the Echo Test screen to specify a target MU and configure
the parameters of the ping test. The WNMP ping test only works with Motorola MUs. Only use a
Motorola MU to test AP-7131 connectivity using WNMP.
To ping a specific MU to assess its connection with an AP-7131:
1. Select Status and Statistics - > MU Stats from the AP-7131 menu tree.
2. Select the Echo Test button from within the MU Stats Summary screen.
3. Define the following ping test parameters:
4. Click the Ping button to begin transmitting ping packets to the MU address specified.
NOTE Before testing for connectivity, the target MU needs to be set to the same
ESSID as the AP-7131. Since WEP 128 has been configured for the
AP-7131, the MU also needs to be configured for WEP 128 and use the
same WEP keys. Ensure the MU is associated with the AP-7131 before
testing for connectivity.
Station Address The station address is the IP address of the target MU. Refer to the
MU Stats Summary screen for associated MU IP address
information.
Number of ping Specify the number of ping packets to transmit to the target MU.
The default is 100.
Packet Length Specify the length of each data packet transmitted to the target
MU during the ping test. The default is 100 bytes.
AP-7131 Access Point: Installation Guide
32
Refer to the Number of Responses value to assess the number of responses from the
target MU versus the number of pings transmitted by the AP-7131. Use the ratio of packets
sent versus packets received to assess the link quality between MU and the AP-7131.
Click the Ok button to exit the Echo Test screen and return to the MU Stats Summary screen.
With basic AP-7131 and associated MU connectivity verified, the AP-7131 is now ready to
operate as defined within this guide or have its more advanced features configured.
