Introduction
Overview
The Enterasys Networks Wireless Access Point 3000 is an IEEE 802.11a/b/g (RBT3K‐AG &
RBT3K‐AG‐G), or an IEEE 802.11b/g only (RBT3K‐1G), access point that provides transparent, wireless high‐speed data communications between the wired LAN and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with an 802.11a, 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter.
This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired
LANs (which include long‐term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using 802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g technology, this access point can easily replace a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection or seamless integration into a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN.
In addition, the access point offers full network management capabilities through an easy to configure Web interface, and a command line interface for initial configuration and troubleshooting.
The IEEE 802.11a/g standard uses a radio modulation technique known as Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM), and a shared collision domain (CSMA/CA). It operates at the 5
GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII) band for connections to 802.11a clients, and at 2.4 GHz for connections to 802.11g clients.
IEEE 802.11g includes backward compatibility with the IEEE 802.11b standard. IEEE 802.11b also operates at 2.4 GHz, but uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation technology to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps.
The access point also supports a 54 Mbps half‐duplex connection to Ethernet networks for each active channel (up to 108 Mbps in turbo mode on the 802.11a interface).

Security Slot
The access point includes a security slot on the rear panel. You can prevent unauthorized removal of the access point by wrapping a Kensington security cable (not provided) around an unmovable object, inserting the lock into the slot, and turning the key.
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console device to the access point through a serial cable. This
connection is described in Appendix C . The console device can be a PC or workstation running a
VT‐100 terminal emulator, or a VT‐100 terminal.
Ethernet Port
The access point has one 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX RJ‐45 port that can be attached directly to
10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX LAN segments. These segments must conform to the IEEE 802.3 or 802.3u specifications.
This port uses an MDI (for example, internal straight‐through) pin configuration. You can use a straight‐through twisted‐pair cable to connect the port to most network interconnection devices, such as a switch or router that provide MDI‐X ports. However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that do not have MDI‐X ports, you must use a crossover twisted‐pair cable.
The access point appears as an Ethernet node and performs a bridging function by moving packets from the wired LAN to remote workstations on the wireless infrastructure.
Note: The RJ-45 port also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on the IEEE 802.3af standard. Refer to the description for the
“Power Connector” on page 1-5 for information on
supplying power to the access point’s network port from a network device, such as a switch, that provides Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the access point, or to restore the factory default configuration. If you hold down the button for less than five seconds, the access point will perform a hardware reset. If you hold down the button for five seconds or more, ALL configuration changes you made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the access point.
1-4 Introduction

Cables and Pin-outs
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into the RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.
Precaución: NO utilice un conector de teléfono en el puerto RJ-45. Utilice solamente cable de par trenzado con conectores RJ-45 para cumplir con los estándares de la FCC.
Achtung: Verbinden Sie keine Telefonkabel mit dem RJ-45-Anschluss. Verwenden Sie ausschließlich verdrillte Kabel mit RJ-45-Anschlüssen, die den FCC-Standards entsprechen.
For 10/100BASE‐TX connections, a twisted‐pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ‐45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation. (Refer
” on page C-2 and “ Crossover Wiring ” on page C-3 for an explanation.)
Precaución: Cada par debe estar adjunto a los contactos del conector RJ-45 en una orientación específica. Refiérase a “Straight-Through Wiring” y “Crossover Wiring” para una explicación al respecto.
Achtung: Jedes Kabelpaar muss in einer bestimmten Ausrichtung mit den RJ-45-Anschlüssen verbunden werden. Weitere Informationen hierzu finden Sie unter „Straight-Through Wiring“
(Standard-Verkabelung) und „Crossover Wiring“ (Crossover-Verkabelung).

Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments
10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments
Use unshielded twisted‐pair (UTP) or shielded twisted‐pair (STP) cable for RJ‐45 connections: 100‐ ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps connections, or 100‐ohm Category 5 or better cable for
100 Mbps connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted‐pair connection does not exceed
100 meters (328 feet).
The RJ‐45 port on the access point is wired with MDI pinouts. This means that you must use crossover cables for connections to PCs or servers, and straight‐through cable for connections to switches or hubs. However, when connecting to devices that support automatic MDI/MDI‐X pinout configuration, you can use either straight‐through or crossover cable.

Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
Straight-Through Wiring
Because the 10/100 Mbps port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use
“straight‐through” cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI‐X ports.
However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto‐MDIX operation, you can use either “straight‐through” or “crossover” cable.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Steps
Check the following items before contacting technical support.
1.
If wireless clients cannot access the network, check the following: a.
Be sure the access point and the wireless clients are configured with the same Service Set
ID (SSID).
b. If authentication or encryption are enabled, ensure that the wireless clients are properly configured with the appropriate authentication or encryption keys.
c.
If authentication is being performed through a RADIUS server, ensure that the clients are properly configured on the RADIUS server.
d. If authentication is being performed through IEEE 802.1x, be sure the wireless users have installed and properly configured 802.1x client software.
e.
If MAC address filtering is enabled, be sure the client’s address is included in the local filtering database or on the RADIUS server database.
f.
If the wireless clients are roaming between access points, make sure that all the access points and wireless devices in the Extended Service Set (ESS) are configured to the same
SSID, and authentication method.
2.
If the access point cannot be configured using Telnet, a Web browser, or SNMP software: a.
Be sure to have configured the access point with a valid IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
b. If VLANs are enabled on the access point, the management station should be configured to send tagged frames with a VLAN ID that matches the access point’s native VLAN.
However, to manage the access point from a wireless client, the AP Management Filter should be disabled. Refer to the RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Configuration Guide for more information.
c.
Check that you have a valid network connection to the access point and that the Ethernet port or the wireless interface that you are using has not been disabled.
d. If you are connecting to the access point through the wired Ethernet interface, check the network cabling between the management station and the access point. If you are connecting to the access point from a wireless client, ensure that you have a valid connection to the access point.
e.
If you cannot connect using Telnet, you may have exceeded the maximum number of concurrent Telnet sessions permitted (for example, four sessions). Try connecting again at a later time.
RoamAbout Access Point 3000 Hardware Installation Guide D-1
Troubleshooting Steps
3.
If you cannot access the on‐board configuration program via a serial port connection: a.
Be sure you have set the terminal emulator program to VT100 compatible, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and 9600 bps. b. Check that the null‐modem serial cable conforms to the pin‐out connections provided in
.
4.
If you forgot or lost the password:
You can reset the access point back to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 5 seconds or more. You will lose all of your configuration settings. Then, use the default user name “admin” with the password “password” to access the management interface.
5.
If all other recovery measures fail, and the access point is still not functioning properly, take any of these steps: a.
Reset the access point using the console interface, Web interface, or through a power reset.
b. Reset the access point to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the back panel for 5 seconds or more. You will lose all of your configuration settings. Then, use the default user name “admin” with the password “password” to access the management interface.
