Chapter 1 Introduction Note: The RBT-1002C-EU, although listed in this document, is not available until March 2008. Aunque el modelo RBT-1002C-EU está especificado en este documento, éste no estará disponible sino hasta marzo de 2008. The RoamAbout RBT-1002, RBT-1002C, RBT-1002C-EU, and the RBT-1002-EU Wireless Access Points are IEEE 802.11a/g access points that provide transparent, wireless high-speed data communications between a wired LAN and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with an 802.
Introduction Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation technology to achieve a communication rate of up to 11 Mbps. The access point supports a 54 Mbps half-duplex connection to Ethernet networks for each active channel.
Hardware Description Hardware Description Top Panel Antennas LED Indicators Rear Panel Security Slot 5 VDC Power Socket Bracket Fastening Screw RJ-45 Port, PoE Connector Reset Button Console Port 1-3
Introduction Component Description Antennas The access point includes integrated diversity antennas for wireless communications. A diversity antenna system uses two identical antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to avoid multipath fading effects. When receiving, the access point checks both antennas and selects the one with the strongest signal. When transmitting, it will continue to use the antenna previously selected for receiving.
Hardware Description LED Status Description Power Solid green Normal operation. All of the following are true: • Management link with a wireless switch is operational • Access point has booted • Access point has received a valid configuration from a wireless switch Ethernet Link (Ethernet Link/ Activity) Slow blink green (2 sec on/off) Access point is booting and receiving configuration file from wireless switch.
Introduction LED Status Description 11a and 11b/g (Wireless Link/ Activity) Solid green A client is associated with the radio, or the radio is in Sweep/Sentry mode. Slow blink green (2 sec on/off) Radio is unable to transmit. This state can indicate inability to send a beacon or radio failure. Fast blink green Associated client is sending or receiving traffic.
Hardware Description However, when connecting the access point to a workstation or other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use 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.
Introduction Features and Benefits • Local network connection via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports or 54 Mbps wireless interface (supporting up to 127 mobile users) • IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g compliant • Interoperable with multiple vendors based on the IEEE 802.11f protocol • Advanced security through 64/128-bit Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP) encryption, IEEE 802.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation 1. Select a Site – Choose a proper place for the access point. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the access point in a position that can best cover its Basic Service Set. For optimum performance, consider these points: • Mount the access point as high as possible above any obstructions in the coverage area.
Hardware Installation Mounting on a wall or the ceiling– The access point should be mounted only to a wall or wood surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount the access point on a wall, or ceiling, always use its wall-mounting bracket. a. Using the mounting bracket, mark the position of the four screw holes on the wall or ceiling. For concrete or brick walls or ceilings, you will need to drill holes and insert wall plugs for the screws. b.
Hardware Installation Then screw down the fastening screw to secure the access point to the bracket. Mounting Points Fastening Screw Align this tab with the Fastening Screw Mounting Slots 3. Lock the Access Point in Place – To prevent unauthorized removal of the access point, you can use a Kensington Slim MicroSaver security cable (not included) to attach the access point to a fixed object.
Hardware Installation 4. Connect the Ethernet Cable – The access point can be wired to a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet network through a device such as a hub or a switch. Connect your network to the RJ-45 port on the back panel with category 3, 4, or 5 UTP Ethernet cable. When the access point and the connected device are powered on, the Ethernet Link LED should light indicating a valid network connection.
Hardware Installation 6. Observe the Self Test – When you power on the access point, verify that the Power indicator stops blinking and remains on green, and that the other indicators start functioning as described under “LED Indicators” on page 1-4. If the Power LED does not stop blinking or turns on yellow, the self test has not completed correctly. Refer to the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide for troubleshooting information. 7.
Hardware Installation Bezel Fastening Slot To remove the bezel, grasp both sides and gently pry away from the fastening slots located on each antenna side. Pull the bezel clear of the access point.
Appendix A Troubleshooting For troubleshooting information, refer to the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide.

Appendix B Configuration All configuration of the RBT-1002 is done from the RoamAbout wireless switch and the RoamAbout Switch Manager interface. Refer to the RoamAbout Switch Manager User Guide and the RoamAbout Mobility System Software Configuration Guide for configuration information.
Configuration B-2
Appendix C Cables and Pinouts Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments 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: 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.
Cables and Pinouts The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the wires to the pins. 8 1 8 1 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.
Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments 10/100BASE-TX MDI Port Pinouts Pin MDI Signal Name 7 -48V feeding power (Negative- Vport) 8 -48V feeding power (Negative- Vport) Note: The “+” and “-” signs represent the polarity of the wires that make up each wire pair.
Cables and Pinouts 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.
