Overview The BlueSecure Access Point 1700 is a next-generation, “thin” access point that works in conjunction with BlueSecure Controllers (BSCs) for enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments. The BlueSecure Access Point 1700 features dual radios supporting 802.11a and 802.11b/g in a plenum-rated housing, with an embedded MIMO antenna panel under the top cover of the AP.
Familiarizing Yourself with the BSAP Hardware Figure 2 illustrates the BSAP hardware. Familiarize yourself with the labeled components before attempting to install the BSAP.
Familiarizing Yourself with the BSAP Hardware Fixed Antennas The BSAP-1700 utilizes an embedded MIMO antenna panel under the top cover of the AP for wireless communications. The antennas has three elements for each band. Two elements are used for transmit and receive and the third element is used for receiving only. The BSAP-1700 also leverages the embedded Airgo TrueMIMO radios and antenna panel to support high-throughput communications with mobile devices that also use Airgo TrueMIMO chipsets.
source. The BSAP automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required. The BSAP may also receive Power over Ethernet (PoE) from a model BSC-400 Controller, switch or other network device that supplies power over the network cable based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Note that if the BSAP is connected to a PoE source device and also connected to a local power source through its AC power adapter, PoE will be disabled.
Provisioning Your Bluesocket WLAN for BSAPs Reset Button Use this button to reset the BSAP or restore its factory default configuration. If you hold down the button for less than 5 seconds, the BSAP will perform a hardware reset. If you hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the BSAP. Console Port The BSAP-1700’s console port is available through the Ethernet interface.
Run a DHCP Server or a DHCP Server Relay Agent on the BSC BSAPs will Automatically Discover and Communicate with their Home BSC Figure 3: Deploying BSAPs on the Same Layer-2 Subnet as the BSC See the BlueSecure Controller Setup and Administration Guide for detailed DHCP server and DHCP relay agent configuration procedures. In this deployment scenario, simply connect and power on the BSAPs. They will automatically discover and communicate with their home BSC.
Selecting a BSAP Installation Location The BSAP also needs the IP address of the home BSC to which it will connect and from which it will obtain its software image and configuration. You can provide the home BSC IP address to a BSAP using one of the following methods: • DHCP Server Option 43 - You can manually configure the DHCP server on your network to send BSC IP addresses to BSAPs using DHCP vendorspecific option 43.
• Install the BSAP in an area where large steel structures such as beams, pillars, shelving units, bookcases, and filing cabinets do not obstruct radio signals to and from the BSAP. • Determine optimal AP placement using Bluesocket’s Wireless LANPlanner software. LANPlanner enables network planners to import a map of the facility, note the contents and construction materials, designate user regions and applications to be used and place equipment.
Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI) Caution: If the BSAP is used in a medical environment, it must use an IEC/ EN60601-1 compliant power adapter. See page 13 for a description of the IEC/EN60601-1 compliant power adapter available from Bluesocket. 5. Verify that the PWR LED stops flashing and remains on, and that the other status LEDs start functioning as described in the section entitled “LED Indicators” on page 3. 6. Connect the BSAP to your Bluesocket WLAN.
4. Enter the following username and password in lowercase at the displayed CLI login prompts: BlueAP login: adm1n Password: blue1socket (i.e., adm “one” n) (i.e., blue “one” socket) The BSAP CLI main menu appears as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: BSAP CLI Main Menu Navigating the BSAP CLI The BSAP CLI main menu provides access to these options: • Network Configuration - Configure the BSAP’s network settings including its IP address and the IP address of the BSC to which it will connect.
Using the BSAP Command Line Interface (CLI) BSAP Default Configuration The BSAP is shipped with the following default configuration. IP_ADDR_MODE: IP_ADDR NETMASK GW_ADDR DNS_ADDR WG_ADDR_MODE WG_ADDR DHCP (0) 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Discover BSC (0) 0.0.0.0 The two options for IP address mode are: • (0) DHCP - The BSAP runs a DHCP client and receives its IP address from a DHCP server. • (1) Static IP - You assign the BSAP a static IP address via its CLI.
2. Enter 1 at the Network Cfg prompt to set the IP address mode. Enter 1 to set the BSAP IP address mode to static. 3. Enter 2 at the Network Cfg prompt to set the BSAP’s IP address. Enter the BSAP IP address and subnet mask using the format:
netmask 4. Enter 3 at the Network Cfg prompt to specify the BSAP’s default IP gateway. 5. Enter 4 at the Network Cfg prompt to specify the IP address of the BSAP’s primary DNS server. 6.General Specifications 2. Conduct the site survey using site survey utility software running on a laptop or PDA. 3. After the site survey is complete, reboot the BSAPs to restore their configurations. General Specifications Power Supply Standard Input: 100-240 AC, 50-60 Hz Output: 48 VDC, 0.5A Power consumption: 13.
