Overview The BlueSecure Access Point 1800 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 1800 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-1800 utilizes an embedded MIMO antenna panel under the top cover of the AP for wireless communications. There are three elements for each band. Two elements are used for transmit and receive and the third element is used for receiving only. The BSAP-1800 also leverages the embedded Airgo TrueMIMO radios and antenna panel to support high-throughput communications with mobile devices that also use Airgo TrueMIMO chipsets.
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. Ethernet/PoE Connector The BSAP-1800 has one auto-sensing 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BaseT RJ-45 connector that can be attached directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BaseT switches to provide a full-duplex link. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications. This connector uses an MDI (i.e.
Provisioning Your Bluesocket WLAN for BSAPs changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the BSAP. Console Port The BSAP-1800’s console port is available through the Ethernet interface. Kensington Security Slot The BSAP includes a Kensington security slot on the side panel. You can prevent unauthorized removal of the BSAP by wrapping a Kensington security cable (not provided) around an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.
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 In this deployment scenario, simply connect and power on the BSAPs. They will automatically discover and communicate with their home BSC. Deploying BSAPs with Layer-3 Connectivity to the BSC You can also deploy BSAPs on a routed network with Layer-3 connectivity to the BSC as shown in Figure 4.
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. Again, this is not needed if the BSAP is on the managed side getting a relayed IP address from the BSC.
• 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.
