Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter describes initial setup of the AC100 system.

Before You Begin

Thank you for purchasing Brovis Wireless Networks of Wireless AC100 series products.

These Products offer fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings

over wired alternatives. Utilizing 2.4 GHz ISM frequency spectrum, the AC100 can

easily replace a wired inter office connection and seamlessly integrate into legacy 10/100

Mbps Ethernet LAN and backbone connectivity. Please check the package contents

before you begin.

2.1 Package Contents

Be sure the following items are in the package. If the package is not complete, please

contact BroVis Wireless Networks technical support, or return the package to the vendor

or dealer where you purchased the product.

� AC100 either SP or HP Mode With POE accessories

� UTP Cable

� Installation manual

Note Please contact [email protected] for support. Please inform us if there are any

incorrect, missing or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original

packing materials. Use them again to repack the product if there is a need to return it for

repair.

2.2 System Requirements

Before you install the AC100 CPE, be sure you have the following items on- hand:

o An AC power outlet 100-240V (50/60 Hz which will supply power to the AC100

CPE through power over Ethernet cable)

o A 10/100 Base-T (UTP) Ethernet cable drop

o An available RJ -45 (UTP) port on the 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch

AC100 User Manual


Important The AC100 CPE has been designed to withstand normal handling procedures,

but reasonable precautions should be exercised during the installation, particularly with

regard to static discharge.

2.3 Mechanical Description

Waterproof RJ-45 connector Connect to the POE with UTP cable.

UTP Cable This cable is attached to the AC100 CPE. (default cable length)

2.4 Setting up the AC100 CPE

• The AC100 CPE is set up as SRPP unit and connects to your network (back bone)

with a standard Ethernet cable. Power to the unit is provided via a POE (Power

over Ethernet) system.

Tip Before you mount the AC100 CPE to a fixed location, consider the following

requirements to determine the optimal placement:

• The cable length from the Ethernet network to the AC100 must not exceed 328 ft

(100 meters).

• Placement must allow for easy access to disconnect the AC100 CPE unit from the

AC power outlet if necessary.

2.5 Installing AC100 CPE

Follow these steps to install the AC100 CPE:

• Connect the power adapter cable to the POE power injector and plug the power

adapter into the wall outlet.

Warning: Use only the power adapter supplied with this package in order to

prevent damage and void warranty.

AC100 User Manual


• Connect the Ethernet cable — The Ethernet cable from the AC100 CPE should be

connected to the power out of the POE. An Ethernet cable from the data in of the

POE is connected to a 10/100Mbps ethernet network through a switch or router.

Fig 2: AC100 POE Connection Diagram

2.6 Installing and Aligning the CPE

To ensure maximum performance and stability of your wireless connection, it is crucial

that you determine the right locations based on the following criteria:

• Establish a good signal path, ideally with visual line of sight and adequate Fresnel

clearance, between the two end points.

• Minimize the distance between the two end points.

• Minimize reflections from other objects

AC100 User Manual


Chapter 3 Configuration

3.1 Command Line Interface

The AC-100 CPE can be configured through the command line interface (CLI). The CLI

allows viewing and modification of the configuration from a terminal or PC through a

Telnet connection. To access the CLI, use Telnet to log in to the device using its IP

address. The CLI prompts for a login user name and password and displays a version

banner and a CLI prompt. The CLI is now ready to accept commands.

User Login

The default login username is “Admin” and the default password is

“5up”.

login: Admin

Password: ***

BroVis Wireless Networks Base Station Rev 3.3.0.136

->

Note: When the login and password are set to a non-null string, both the login and

password entries are case-sensitive.

User Logoff

--> quit

After quitting the CLI, re-initiate the login sequence to log into the CLI.

AC100 User Manual


3.2 CLI Commands

All CLI commands are case-insensitive. Enter either the entire CLI command string or

partial unique CLI command string.

For example:

--> get rate

Data Rate: best

--> g rate

Data Rate: best

Note: The configuration changes do not take effect until the CPE is rebooted.

WEP/AES Key Configuration

The CLI key commands enable configuration of shared and unique Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys. Key IDs 1 to 4 are

reserved for shared key IDs, and key IDs 5 to 2048 are reserved for unique key IDs. Note

that the actual set of the unique key is still limited to 60 keys. The key IDs identify these

60 unique keys. The keys must be input as hexadecimal digits. Choose between 40-bit,

104-bit, or 128-bit encryption keys. For 40-bit encryption, the key string is 10 characters

long. For 104-bit encryption, the key string is 26 characters long. For 128-bit encryption,

the key string is 32 characters long. For AES encryption, a built-in extension algorithm

will extend the 40- bit and 64-bit keys into a 128-bit key automatically. The get station

command will return the original key. Use get/set key command to display or modify

AES or WEP key configuration. WEP uses set key 1 default. The default key command

AC100 User Manual


enables the setting of an additional default key. Use get key to display keys. To set the

keys, use set key with the following format:

set key [“keynum”| unique] [ 40 |104 | 128] keystring

-> set key 1 40 aabbccddee

Shared Key 1, size 40: aabbccddee

-> set key 1 default

Access Control List

The access control list (ACL) allows an administrator to perform security actions based

on the client station MAC address. This can be used to allow or deny association with the

AC100 and for unique per station encryption key assignment. Use the following

commands to view ACL status or entries.

get configuration- Display the access control status

get acl- Display the access control list

get acl xxx -Display an access control list entry

-> get acl

acl 1: 01:02:03:04:05:06- access allowed

acl 2:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f- access denied

-> get acl 1

acl 1:01:02:03:04:05:06- access allowed

Enable/Disable/Restrict Access Control List

Configure the ACL using disable, enable, or strict. By default, while the checking of the

ACL is enabled, the ACL itself is empty. This is the same as disabling the checking on

the ACL. Therefore, an ACL entry must exist before enabling an ACL. While an ACL is

enabled, stations with valid share keys and stations with matching “allow” entries on the

ACL are authenticated. Alternatively, configure the checking of the ACL to strict to

require an ACL entry that specifies the station’s assigned unique key or the station is

denied association. In strict mode, stations with valid share keys that are not on the ACL

are not authenticated. The stations must have unique keys defined and matching “allow”

ACL entries specified to associate with the AC100.

set acl enable -- Select Restricted Access

set acl disable -- Select Unrestricted Access

Set up or Modify the Access Control List

Use the set acl commands to set up or modify the ACL. Add/Modify a MAC address to

the ACL.

-> set acl allow 1:2:3:4:5:6

acl 1: 01:02:03:04:05:06 - access allowed

Deny access to a particular MAC address.

->set acl deny a:b:c:d:e:f

acl 2: 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f - access denied

Allow access to a particular MAC address.

-> Set acl allow 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f

acl 2: 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f - access allowed

Add Encryption key for MAC address. The key index is automatically assigned. Use the

format set acl keymap “MAC Address” [ 40 | 104 | 128] key.

-> set acl keymap 11:11:11:11:11:11 40 aabbccddee

Unique Key 5, size 40: aabbccddee

acl 3: 11:11:11:11:11:11- access allowed with unique key 5

the format set acl keymap “MAC Address” default.

-> set acl keymap 11:11:11:11:11:11 default

acl 3: 11:11:11:11:11:11 - access allowed with default shared key
