Red-M 1000AP getting started guide In tr od ucti on Red-M™ 1000AP™ access points are designed to work with Genos™ software, which runs on the Red-M 3000AS™ access server or a Linux server. 1000AP access points enhance your Bluetooth™ infrastructure by letting more users connect over a wider area. 1000APs have a Bluetooth range of up to 100 meters (for high-powered devices) or around 15 meters (for low-powered devices). Range often varies with both the connecting device and the surrounding environment.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Be f o r e yo u s tar t Before you start, you need: • Either a configured Red-M 3000AS access server or a Linux server with Genos installed • Category 5 Ethernet cables with RJ-45 connectors • The DC 12v power adapter (included) • If mounting on a ceiling or wall: • - Two screws - A mounting bracket (included) - A screwdriver An Ethernet hub or switch (if installing in a ‘star-wire’ configuration).
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Mo un tin g t he 10 00 AP The 1000AP has a mounting bracket that can be attached to a ceiling or wall using appropriate screws and suitable fastenings. We recommend mounting on a ceiling, since 1000APs provide superior Bluetooth coverage in a horizontal position. Each 1000AP must be connected to its supplied power adapter, so take this into account when mounting in a wall cavity or ceiling.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide To m ou n t on a c e i l i n g o r wa l l : 8 1. Select a location on a ceiling or wall to mount the 1000AP (we recommend mounting on a ceiling). 2. Ensure the ceiling or wall can support the 1000AP’s weight (around 250 g or 8.5 oz). If in doubt, consult a licensed installer. 3. Install the Category 5 Ethernet cable according to whether you decided to ‘star-wire’ or ‘daisy-chain’ the 1000AP’s cabling (see Connecting the cables on page 9).
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Conne cti ng t he cabl es Cabling depends on whether you decide to ‘star-wire’ or ‘daisy-chain’ the 1000AP(s), and to which Genos server you connect. You must use the power adapter provided to connect power to each 1000AP. S tar-w iring f r om a 3000 AS Star-wiring means using an Ethernet switch or hub to connect 1000APs to the Genos server as shown in Figure 2 below. Star-wiring is recommended if you plan to install more than two 1000APs.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide 1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable from the 3000AS’s blue Access Point port or purple Office Lan port to the switch or hub. Ensure there is no more than 100 meters between the 3000AS and the switch or hub. 2. Connect Category 5 Ethernet cables from the 1000AP’s IN port to a spare port on the switch or hub. There should not be more than 100 meters between a 1000AP and the switch or hub.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Figure 3: Daisy-chain installation 1. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet cable (with RJ-45 connectors) to the 1000AP’s IN port. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the 3000AS’s blue Access Point port or purple Office LAN port, or to a Linux server’s Ethernet port, or to an Ethernet switch. (If you are using an Ethernet switch, connect its uplink port to a Genos server using Category 5 Ethernet cable.) 3.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Usi ng m or e com pli cate d ne tw o r ks Using routers This guide is mainly concerned with connecting 1000APs directly to a 3000AS. You can also manage 1000APs over a routed network. When connected via a routed network the 1000APs will not be auto-discovered, instead you must add each 1000AP manually using the AP List dialog of the management interface. Multiple Genos servers Caution: Do not run more than one Genos server on a network.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Co nfig ur ing 10 0 0AP s 1000APs automatically appear in the Genos management interface when they are installed, connected and powered-up. 1000APs are displayed in the AP List dialog. By default, they are listed by their name and serial number, which is printed on the base of the unit. 1000APs are automatically enabled through the management interface. Therefore, you do not need to do anything to use 1000APs, however, you may want to change the default settings.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Usi ng Id ent ify mo de Identify mode makes the 1000AP’s LED flash red and orange so you can identify which 1000AP corresponds to which entry in the management interface. This is especially useful when you need to find a 1000AP amongst many installed in a building. Identify mode is also useful when identifying errors from the management interface and discovering which users are connected to a 1000AP. To e n a bl e Ide n t i fy m o d e : 14 1.
Red-M 1000AP getting started guide Re adi ng t he LE D The 1000AP has a two-color LED indicator to show its status and locate it when in Identify mode (see Using Identify mode). L E D s tar tu p s e qu e n c e 1. When power is connected, the LED is orange for about a second to indicate that power is on. 2. The LED flashes orange for a few seconds to indicate that the 1000AP is starting up and conducting self-tests. If any startup tests fail, the LED changes to steady orange to indicate a fatal error.

Attach the supplied mounting bracket to a flat surface and slide the 1000AP’s mounting cavity over the bracket to lock it into place. For more information, see Mounting the 1000AP on page 7. 2. Power port. Use the power port to connect the supplied DC 12v adapter to the 1000AP. 3. OUT port and indicator.
