3.5.4 Configuring an Access Point
APs are geographically dispersed throughout a wide territory and communicate upstream and
downstream.
 Upstream: APs communicate upstream with the Gateway through Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) over various types of physical backhauls. The physical
backhauls are based on the specifics of the network deployment. A typical backhaul might
consist of a leased line and/or microwave.
 Downstream: APs provide a wireless coverage footprint for thousands of wireless end-point
devices and/or nodes.
To configure an AP, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that the operator has the following AP site survey information:
a. IP Address (or DNS resolvable name)
b. Channel Number
c. Reuse Code
2. Log in to the EMS with the admin or configure account.
3. Make sure that a Gateway is enabled.
4. Click the Devices tab.
