Introduction 1

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The OmniAccess AP60/61 Installation Guide (also known as the

AP 60/61) is part of a comprehensive wireless network solution.

The device works in conjunction with the Alcatel Wireless LAN

Switch and can act as a wireless access point or air monitor.

As a wireless Access Point (AP), the OmniAccess AP60/61

Installation Guide provides transparent, secure, high-speed data

communications between wireless network devices (fixed,

portable, or mobile computers with IEEE 802.11a or IEEE

802.11b/g wireless adapters) and the wired LAN.

As a wireless Air Monitor (AM), a feature unique to Alcatel

products, the OmniAccess AP60/61 Installation Guide enhances

wireless networks by collecting statistics, monitoring traffic,

detecting intrusions, enforcing security policies, balancing

wireless traffic load, self-healing coverage gaps, and more.

NOTE—Installing the Alcatel 60/61 requires setting the antenna

power, which requires professional training. The Alcatel 60/61

installer must be trained to perform this configuration.

Chapter 1

Antenna fixtures for Wireless Communications

Depending on the model, the AP will have one of the following:

Alcatel AP60–Two Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connectors for attaching

separate antennas (not included). For details, see “Alcatel 60 Detachable

Antennas” on page 26. (The AP60 requires that both connectors be used in

AOS-W 2.2 releases or lower. Single antenna operation is supported with

AOS-W 2.3 or higher.)

NOTE—When facing the AP60 as shown in Figure 1-1, the antenna connector on the

right is for antenna 1, and the connector on the left is for antenna 2 in a diversity

configuration.

Alcatel AP61–Built-in swivel array with dual, tri-band, omnidirectional antennas

Indicator LEDs

During operation, the OmniAccess AP60/61 Installation Guide LEDs provide

the following information:

NOTE—LEDs on the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch provide additional status and

security information about connected APs.See the Alcatel AOS-W User

Guide for more information.
