Anatomy

Installation

Important: Installation must be performed by a professional installer familiar

with local regulations governing wireless devices.

Important: Unless shielded cables are used, a full-loop ferrite must be placed

on the internet port cable (Fair-Rite PN: 0443164151 or equivalent).

Important: Do not connect the LAN or Internet port directly to a metropolitan

area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN).

Important: CH 36, 40, 44, 48 for Indoor use only (5.15-5.25GHz)

When mounting the CN3300 on a wall, ceiling or other surface, make sure

that:

• the surface you attach the CN3300 to and the fasteners you use are

able to support at least 5.1 kg (11.25 pounds)

• cable pull (accidental or otherwise), must not make the unit exceed

the 5.1 kg (11.25 pound) limit

Plenum installations

Plenum rated cables and attachment hardware must be used if the

CN3300 is installed in a plenum. Since the CN3300 power adapter

(optional) is not rated for plenum installations, only the CN3300 and

appropriate cabling can be located in the plenum.

Note: Colubris Networks supplied PoE injectors (available separately)

cannot be installed inside the plenum.

Configuration

To configure the CN3300, you use the Web-based management tool built

into the CN3300. You access this tool by establishing a Web browser

connection to the CN3300. You must use a JavaScript-enabled Web

browser (Netscape 7.1 or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or

higher with all applicable updates), to do this.

1 Connect the antennas.

Use the following antennas (sold separately):

Note: By default, the CN3300 has radio 1 set to B/G mode, and radio 2 set

to Monitor mode (scanning only).

Both the Main and Aux antennas are used to transmit and receive. If a

single antenna is used, it must be attached to the Main connector.

The connectors are reverse-polarity SMA male jacks. This means

antennas or cable connectors must be SMA female connectors with

reverse polarity. Antennas can be either directly attached or attached

via a coax cable.

To reset to factory default, press and hold button

until the status lights begin to flash, then release.

An important note about wireless security

For easy access to the management interface via a wireless connection, the CN3300 ships with all wireless security options disabled. Once the unit

is installed, it is strongly recommended that you enable a wireless security option to properly safeguard the wireless network from intruders. See the

CN3300 Administrator's Guide for more information.

Connect your computer 8 a. Use a cross-over cable (not supplied) to connect the LAN port on your computer to the LAN port on the CN3300. To test your installation, use a wireless client station to log onto the public access interface. (For this to work, the CN3300 must be configured as the client’s default gateway. This is done by default if the wireless client is using DHCP.) b. Configure your computer with the static IP address 192.168.1.2.
