(below) T Hardware Description. (page 9) T X X Selecting a Location. (page 13) T X X Configuring The Access Point. (page 16) T X X Connecting the Bridge. (page 17) T T X X Verifying Your Connections.
Hardware Installation ITEMS SUPPLIED BY THE USER T The following items, which are not included in the package contents, are also required: T An Ethernet client, with an RJ-45 jack, that is within the transmit and receive range of the Access Point to be used with the Bridge. T A LAN host running any operating system with TCP/IP (the ACC requires Microsoft® Windows® XP or Windows 2000). T P P P P An IEEE 802.11b/g-compliant Access Point with DHCP enabled.
Hardware Installation STANDARD PACKAGE HARDWARE DESCRIPTION X Figure 2 identifies the components on the Bridge in its standard packaging. These components include: X X An external antenna. An RJ-45 jack and cable attached to the Bridge. A Reset switch on the bottom of the Bridge. Three indicator Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the top of the Bridge. A mounting cradle. Figure 2.
Hardware Installation Indicator LEDs The Bridge has three indicator LEDs for viewing its current status and its connections (see Figure 3). These indicators allow for monitoring and troubleshooting of the Bridge. They also indicate the Bridge’s power-up status, link, connection, and data-activity status. Table 2 describes the status of the indicator LEDs. X X X X Figure 3. Indicator LEDs on the AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge Page 10 AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge User's Guide Quatech, Inc.
Hardware Installation Table 2. AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge Indicator LEDs LED Power Link Comm LED Color Off Function Bridge is not receiving power. Red Bridge failed its Power On Self Test (POST) and is not configured for wireless communication. Amber Bridge passed its POST but is not configured for wireless communication. Green Bridge passed its POST and is configured for wireless communication. Off Bridge is not receiving power. Blinking Red Bridge is searching for an Access Point.
Hardware Installation Mounting Cradle The Bridge comes with a mounting cradle that allows the Bridge to be installed on a vertical surface, such as a wall (see Figure 4). Be careful not to tighten the mounting hardware (usersupplied) excessively to avoid damaging the cradle. When mounting the Bridge vertically, attach the cradle to the vertical surface, and then insert the Bridge into the cradle. X X Figure 4.
Hardware Installation HEAVY-DUTY PACKAGE The heavy-duty version of the Bridge is supplied in a Deutsch EEC-325X4B enclosure and is available in both sealed and unsealed versions. The heavy-duty Bridge supports SAE J1455 power specifications (+4.5 to 36 VDC). Figure 5 identifies the components on the Bridge in its heavy-duty packaging. These components include: An external antenna. A Deutsch 12-pin DTM13-12PA-R008 receptacle for power and signal connections. A Reset switch.
Hardware Installation Figure 6. AirborneDirect™ Heavy-Duty Cable (Evaluation Kit Item) Page 14 AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge User's Guide Quatech, Inc.
Hardware Installation Indicator LEDs The Heavy-Duty Bridge has four indicator LEDs for viewing its current status and connections (see Figure 5). These indicators allow for monitoring and troubleshooting of the Bridge. They also indicate the Bridge’s power-up status, link, connection, and data-activity status. Table 3 describes the status of the indicator LEDs. Table 3.
Hardware Installation SELECTING A LOCATION You can mount the Bridge on a flat surface, such as a desk or table, or on a vertical surface, such as a wall. It can also be mounted on the ceiling. If you mount the Bridge vertically, use the supplied mounting cradle previously described. Choosing a good location for the Bridge is important because it affects the reliability of the wireless link. The most important considerations are distance from the Access Point and clearance from obstacles.
Hardware Installation CONNECTING THE BRIDGE The following procedure describes how to connect the Bridge: • Place the Bridge in a dry, clean location near the device to which it will be connected. The location is required to have an AC power source and be within 300 feet (100 meters) of an IEEE 802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN Access Point with DHCP enabled.

CHAPTER 3 INITIAL CONFIGURATION This chapter describes configuring the AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge. Topics in this chapter include: Wireless Configuration. (below) Verifying Your Connections (page 20) WPA-LEAP Security. (page 20) WIRELESS CONFIGURATION After you verify that the indicator LEDs have gone through their power-up sequence, start the configuration application for your Access Point (your Access Point manual should describe this procedure).
Initial Configuration If you do not see the Bridge as an attached device, refresh the configuration Note: screen (some Access Point programs provide a Refresh button for this purpose). If the Bridge still does not appear, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in this Guide and in the documentation for your Access Point. Note: You can also use the device discovery feature of the Airborne Control Center software (see page 25) to help determine the Bridge’s IP address.
Initial Configuration VERIFYING YOUR CONNECTIONS When the Bridge is powered-up, the indicator LEDs at the top of the Bridge will indicate the status of the Bridge. See Table 2 on page 11 for standard packaging, or Table 3 on page 15 for Heavy-Duty packaging. If the LEDs indicate a problem with a wired or wireless connection, remove the power source from the Bridge, wait a few seconds, and re-apply power. If the LEDs still do not behave appropriately, see the guidelines in Table 11 on page 52.
Initial Configuration WPA-LEAP SECURITY The WPA and LEAP software modules provide advanced security configuration and communication services required by today’s enterprise-class deployments. Please refer to IEEE standard 802.1x 2001 (section 4) and IEEE standard 802.11i 2004 (section 4) for additional information. System Requirements Both WPA and LEAP require radio firmware version 1.1.1.111.8.4 or later. The AP requires WPA support. LEAP must be supported in the AP or a separate authentication server.
Initial Configuration The Link LED turns green when 802.11 association completes. However, if the 802.1x authentication fails, the bridge becomes disassociated by the AP and the Link LED goes back to flashing red. The bridge will not respond to discovery requests. Once the bridge is authenticated, additional impacts include: Roaming A bridge configured for WPA-PSK can only roam to APs that have WPA-PSK enabled in the same ESS.

CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter provides troubleshooting suggestions you can follow in the unlikely event you encounter a problem using the AirborneDirect™ Ethernet Bridge. TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS Table 10. Troubleshooting Suggestions The Bridge cannot find the Access Point. Verify that the Link LED is solid green. If it isn’t, refer to “LED Troubleshooting” on the next page. The Access Point cannot find the Bridge. Click the Refresh button in your Access Point’s configuration application.
Troubleshooting After changing the Bridge’s static IP address, the ACC stops responding. Once the static IP address is changed and you click Save, the Bridge switches to the new IP address and loses connection with the ACC. To resolve this problem, restart the ACC. You used the ACC to change the Bridge’s configuration settings, but the new settings did not take effect. You may not have clicked the Save button on the ACC page. Click this button after making your changes on the page.
Troubleshooting LED TROUBLESHOOTING The following table provides LED troubleshooting suggestions. Table 11. Indicator LED Troubleshooting If the… Perform These Tasks… Power LED does not turn On. Check power connector is properly inserted. Power LED turns Red. Remove power and re-apply. If the Power LED remains Red, contact Quatech, Inc. Power LED is Amber.

Glossary Disassociation service An IEEE 802.11 term that defines the process a station or Access Point uses to notify that it is terminating an existing association. Distribution service An IEEE 802.11 station uses the distribution service to send MAC frames across a distribution system. GPIO General Purpose Input/Output refers to the digital I/O lines. Hot spot Same as an Access Point (usually found in public areas such as coffee shops and airports).
Glossary RTOS An operating system implementing components and services that explicitly offer deterministic responses, and therefore allow the creation of real-time systems. An RTOS is characterized by the richness of the services it provides, the performance characteristics of those services, and the degree that those performance characteristics can be controlled by the application engineer (to satisfy the requirements of the application).
