iv CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide
Document Conventions To the Installer This guide is intended for the technician responsible for installing the CB3000 Client Bridge. It is assumed that the technician is familiar with Ethernet LAN-based networking concepts. The purpose of this document is to provide specifications, features and guidelines for use during default device installation and configuration.
1-2 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide
CB3000 Overview The Motorola CB3000 Client Bridge (Part No. CB-3000-0010-WWR) is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g compliant wireless LAN Ethernet adapter. The CB3000 operates in both 2.4GHz (GigaHertz) and 5.2GHz frequencies. The CB3000 extends wireless networking capabilities to printers, scales, medical equipment, manufacturing machinery, bar code readers, time clocks, point-of-sale and other data collection devices.
2-2 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide Prerequisite Requirements The following hardware and software resources are required to install and operate a CB3000: • PC to be used during device configuration. The PC must have an RJ-45 Ethernet port and a CDROM drive. The PC must be running the following: • Windows 2000 or XP operating system • Internet Explore 5.0 (or higher) or Netscape 6.
Installing the CB3000 2-3 Installing the CB3000 Cable and test the CB3000 before moving it to its table top, wall or under a counter operational location. To cable the CB3000: NOTE: A cross-over cable is not required to directly connect the CB3000 to a PC. CAUTION: Do not connect a CB3000 set to Infrastructure mode directly to a LAN (for example, through a wall port). Such a connection could cause a transmission loop between the CB3000 and its associated access point, disrupting network connectivity. 1.

2-6 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide The Information screen displays high level device name and network address information. The page is readonly with no configurable data fields. The CB3000 is now ready to have its WLAN settings configured, then its Ethernet Settings. For more information, see sections Configuring CB3000 WLAN Settings and Configuring CB3000 Ethernet Settings. Connecting to the User Interface Using the Discovery Tool Use the Motorola Discovery Tool to locate and identify CB3000s.
Displaying the CB3000 User Interface 2-7 The CB3000 Discovery Tool screen displays and begins a device search for CB3000’s. The Scan button can also be clicked to initiate a device search, but a valid IP address is required on your system’s Ethernet port for the Scan to function properly. If running a VPN client on the scanning computer, ensure it is disabled or the Scan function will not work. 4. Double-click on one of the CB3000s listed within the Discovery Tool window.
2-8 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide 6. Enter a default user name of ‘admin’ and a default password of ‘symbol’. Click OK. The Information screen displays high level device name and network address information. The page is readonly with no configurable data fields. The CB3000 is now ready to have its WLAN settings configured, then its Ethernet Settings. For more information, see sections Configuring CB3000 WLAN Settings and Configuring CB3000 Ethernet Settings.
Configuring CB3000 WLAN Settings 2-9 To configure CB3000 communication settings: 1. Select Settings -> Wireless Settings -> WLAN Settings from the CB3000 menu tree. 2. Select a network (operating) mode for the CB3000. Network Mode Select either Infrastructure (AP) or Ad-hoc (Peer-to-Peer). Select Infrastructure (AP), to enable the CB3000 to transmit and receive with an access point within the CB3000’s subnet. 3. Select an ESSID (network) for CB3000 connection.
2-10 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide 4. Select the Frequency Band (AP). By restricting the frequency band, you can reduce the time the CB3000 takes to search for available APs. a/b/g Click this option to enable the CB3000 to work in the ‘a’ and the ‘b/ g’ frequencies. a Click this option to enable the CB3000 to work only in the ‘a’ frequencies b/g Click this option to enable the CB3000 to work only in the ‘b/g’ frequencies 5. Click View to display the Available Networks screen.
Configuring CB3000 Ethernet Settings 2-11 Configuring CB3000 Ethernet Settings Use the Ethernet Settings screen to specify the name of the CB3000 and assign network address information required as part of the CB3000 basic configuration: To configure required Ethernet settings for the CB3000: 1. Select Settings -> Ethernet Settings from the CB3000 menu tree. 2. Configure the Ethernet Settings screen to assign a device name and set network address information the CB3000 uses.
2-12 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide Gateway IP Address The Gateway IP Address is the address of the device providing the connection to the network. Spanning Tree Protocol Select the Spanning Tree Protocol checkbox to detect loops in a network and logically block redundant paths, thus ensuring only one route exists between any two LANs. Default is disabled. Auto Negotiate Select the auto negotiate type. This feature automatically selects the connection speed and type.
Configuring CB3000 Security 2-13 Configuring CB3000 Security NOTE: For testing basic connectivity as described in this guide, there is no reason to enable Secure 802.1x authentication (an advanced authentication scheme). For details on configuring Secure 802.1x authentication, refer to the CB3000 User Guide available on the CB3000 product CDROM or go to the Motorola Web site (http://www.symbol.com/services/downloads) and download the guide.
2-14 CB3000 Client Bridge Quick Install Guide 4. Use the Default Transmit Key checkboxes to specify which key is used to transmit WEP algorithm information between the CB3000 and its associated device. NOTE: The CB3000 and its associated device are required to use the same key and key length to interoperate. 5. Select 128-bits from the WEP Encryption drop down menu. For WEP 128 (104-bit key), the keys are 26 hexadecimal characters in length. 6.
Testing Device Connectivity 2-15 Testing Device Connectivity The CB3000 Web interface has a Trouble shooting screen with an ICMP Ping Test function. For the purposes of completing the CB3000 basic configuration and connection verification, this screen will be used to ping the CB3000’s associated device. To test CB3000 device connectivity: 1. Select Tools -> Trouble shooting from the CB3000 menu tree. The Trouble shooting screen displays. 2.
