Using the BayStack 660 Wireless LAN Access Point3-2 203939-BAdditional Requirements for a Wireless ConnectionTo install your BayStack 660 Access Point, you must have:• A supported LAN protocol stack (IPX/SPX or TCP/IP). Refer to Using theBayStack 650/660 PC Card for information on the drivers that are supplied.• For a 10BASE-T Ethernet connection, a modular data cable with a dualtwisted pair cable terminated with a male RJ-45 modular jack.• For a 10BASE2 Ethernet connection, an RG-58 A/U, 50-ohm coaxial cablewith BNC connector(s).Access Point InstallationInstalling a BayStack 660 Access Point includes placing the unit at the appropriatelocation in the building and connecting the cables. In a multiple access pointenvironment, each device should be at least 15 feet apart.Use the site survey utility for assistance with the design of a BayStack 600 SeriesWireless LAN. The site survey utility is described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 ofUsing the BayStack 650/660 Wireless LAN PC Card. This utility helps determinehow many access points you may need for your facility and the optimumplacement scheme provides complete coverage.Network and Power ConnectionsA network cable drop (10BASE-T or 10BASE2) and an AC power outlet must beprovided at the location where the BayStack 660 Access Point is to be installed.The best type of installation must be determined at the site and can be either wallmount or desk mount. However, a raised location such as mounting the device ona wall close to the ceiling provides optimum access for the mobile units. It ispossible to mount the device above a suspended ceiling, but it will be impossibleto view the LEDs.Note: Contact Nortel Networks technical support before attempting to connectthe access point using a 10BASE2 (BNC) Ethernet connector.book.fm Page 2 Wednesday, September 22, 1999 1:41 PM
