1Introduction

This chapter includes information on the following topics:

•“Overview” on page 7

•“Hardware Description” on page 7

•“Software Description” on page 11

Overview

The Altitude 300-2 dual-band wireless port provides transparent, high-speed data communications

between Extreme's wireless switch products and wireless fixed, portable, or mobile devices equipped

with 802.11a and 802.11b/g adapters.

The Altitude 300-2 is part of the Extreme Networks Unified Access Architecture. When the Altitude

300-2 is connected to a switch that supports Extreme's Unified Access Architecture, the resulting

wireless network is completely integrated into the enterprise network. The Altitude 300-2 and Unified

Access Architecture switches are managed in a seamless extension of Extreme Networks' centralized

management system, EPICenter. This integrated network provides unified security, scalability and

manageability.

Hardware Description

Altitude 300-2 Models And Connections

The Altitude 300-2 wireless port box is available in two models, both of which include the same radios

and feature set:

•Altitude 300-2i with integrated, dual band antennas. This unit is intended for indoor deployment

only.

•Altitude 300-2d with external antenna connectors. This unit can be installed indoors along with

Extreme Networks external antennas, or it can be installed indoors and connected to external

antennas that are installed outdoors.

8Altitude 300-2 Getting Started Guide

Introduction

Figure 1 shows the rear side of the Altitude 300-2i. Network connectivity and power are supplied to the

unit through an Ethernet cable connected to the RJ45 jack. The Altitude 300-2i can be locked by using a

standard computer cable lock inserted in to the cable lock hole or by using the padlock hole.

Figure 1: Rear View of Altitude 300-2i

Figure 2 shows the back of the Altitude 300-2d. In addition to the Ethernet RJ45 jack, standard computer

cable lock hole, padlock hole, the back of the unit includes connectors for the external antennas. The

two RP-TNC antenna connectors are used for 802.11b/g antennas and the two RP-SMA connectors are

used for 802.11a antennas. To support signal diversity, connections are provided for each radio.

Figure 2: Rear View of Altitude 300-2d

Radio Characteristics

The Altitude 300-2 includes two radios. The first radio is IEEE 802.11a-compliant and uses the

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique. It operates in the 5 GHz

frequency band. Data is transmitted over a half-duplex radio channel operating at up to 54 Mbps.

The second radio supports two modulation modes using half-duplex access. Direct Sequence Spread

Spectrum (DSSS) is used with IEEE 802.11b clients and supports data rates up to 11 Mbps. OFDM is

used with IEEE 802.11g clients and supports data rates up to 54 Mbps. These two modulation modes

operate in the 2.4 GHz band frequency band. In this band the Altitude 300-2 automatically detects the

types of clients that are present and selects the modulation mode accordingly.

Hardware Description

Altitude 300-2 Getting Started Guide 9

The radios support antenna diversity for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The Altitude 300-2i has two

integrated, dual band antennas that operate simultaneously in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The

Altitude 300-2d has antenna connectors for external antennas that operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

bands. For proper wireless operation, antennas must be attached to both RP-SMA or RP-TNC antenna

ports.

CAUTION

External antennas must be certified by Extreme Networks or selected by a professional installer to

ensure they meet all regulatory requirements.

LED Indicators

Four status LED indicators are visible on the Altitude 300-2 unit or through the light pipes of the plastic

cover. The location and function of the LEDs are shown in Figure 3 and Table 2.
