ZyAIR B-5000 Quick Installation Guide

1 Introducing the ZyAIR

The following Quick Installation Guide gives information on the hardware connections and mounting of

your ZyAIR B-5000.

The ZyAIR Outdoor Access Point & Bridge provides excellent wireless performance. The ZyAIR extends

the range of your existing wired network without any additional wiring efforts. The ZyAIR gives you the

flexibility of being able to use one device for either of these powerful functions.

 As an Access Point (AP), the ZyAIR can be used to allow wireless stations to access your wired

LAN. The ZyAIR also offers highly secured wireless connectivity to your wired network with

IEEE 802.1x, WEP data encryption and MAC address based access control. It is perfect for

providing outdoors broadband Internet access. The excellent RF performance means that the users

do not need to be inside the same building or even in the same block.

 The ZyAIR can also function as a bridge or router to provide a wireless backbone connection

between two or more buildings.

Rugged die-cast, watertight construction, built-in lightening protection, and grounding make the ZyAIR

perfect for outdoors applications.

It is easy to install and configure the ZyAIR. The embedded web-based configurator includes a wireless

link test that helps you to align the device. The web-based configurator and SNMP network management

feature allows remote configuration and management of your ZyAIR. The Power over Ethernet (PoE)

feature means that power can be delivered to the ZyAIR over an Ethernet line. This allows you to mount the

ZyAIR in areas where there are no nearby power sources.

The following chapter introduces application examples of what you can do with your ZyAIR.

ZyAIR B-5000 Quick Installation Guide

2 Applications

Here are application examples for your ZyAIR.

2.1 Access Point Application

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can use the ZyAIR (Z) to provide wireless Internet access to users that are

outdoors or in different buildings. A company with many employees working outdoors can also use the

ZyAIR to extend the existing network without expensive network cables. Wireless stations can move freely

anywhere in the coverage area and use resources on the wired network (see Figure 1). The ZyAIR is

connected to an antenna, through an inline power injector (P) and through a hub, switch or router to the

network.

Figure 1 - Access Point Application

ZyAIR B-5000 Quick Installation Guide

2.2 Wireless Bridge Application

You can use the ZyAIR as a bridge or router to form a wireless point-to-point or point-to-multipoint

backbone connection.

With the bridge mode, you configure each ZyAIR to act as either a central bridge or a remote bridge. For

point-to-multipoint applications, all communications between network systems go through the central

bridge. See Figure 2 for an example. The headquarters ZyAIR is the CB (central bridge). The ZyAIRs A

and B are remote bridges at branch offices. The CB ZyAIR routes or bridges all communications between

the ZyAIRs. The ZyAIR is connected to an antenna, through an inline power injector (P) and through a hub,

switch or router to a network.

Figure 2 - Wireless Bridge Application

Please see the section on example scenarios in Part I and IV of the ZyAIR User’s Guide for more

information on network topologies.

3 Connections

The following section introduces the hardware connections for the ZyAIR.

3.1 Outdoor Access Point & Bridge and Inline Power Injector

Ports

1. This is the special Ethernet port for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet cable.

2. This is the special serial port for connecting the MIL-C-5015 style RS-232 console port cable.

3. This is the grounding port

Figure 3 - ZyAIR Hardware Casing

4. These are the special N-Type connectors for connecting the antenna or an RF cable.

5. The POWER & DATA OUT port on the inline power injector is used for connecting the other

end of the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet cable.

6. The DATA IN port on the inline power injector is used for connecting the Ethernet cable to a hub,

switch, router or a computer.

Connector Port

Use the included 30M MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet cable to connect the ZyAIR to the inline

power injector. These ports are auto-negotiating and auto-crossover (automatically

adjusts to the type of Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover)).

Console Port Use the included MIL-C-5015 style RS232 console port cable to connect the ZyAIR to the

console port on your computer for initial ZyAIR configuration.

Connect the end of the included power cord to this power socket.

After you’ve made the connection, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel

POWER LED.

The POWER LED turns steady on when the power cord is connected.

3.4 The Inline Power Injector Front Panel

LABEL DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION

POWER &

DATA OUT

Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector end of the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet cable to this

port.

DATA IN Use an Ethernet cable to connect this port to a Local Area Network (LAN). This port is

auto negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-crossover (automatically

adjusts to straight-through or crossover).

The ACTIVE LED turns steady on when the ZyAIR is connected to this port.

3.5 Making the Connections

Before installing your Outdoor Access Point & Bridge system in a hard-to-reach location, we recommend

that you configure and test all the devices first.

Follow the quick steps below for installation of the Outdoor Access Point & Bridge:

3.5.1 Procedure for Making the Connections

Step 1. With the unit turned off, attach the dipole antenna to the antenna connector as shown

in Figure 9.

Do not over-tighten the antennas. Position the antenna vertically for the best

omni-directional signal reception.

Step 2. Attach the MIL-C-5015 style (RS-232) console cable to the serial port adapter. Connect the

other cable end (DB9 female) to a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.

Step 3. Connect the female end of the power cord to the inline power injector, and then connect the

male end of the power cord into a power outlet or power strip. The POWER LED on the front

of the Inline power injector should turn on.

Step 4. Run the Ethernet cable (included in your package) from DATA IN port (on the front panel of

the inline power injector) to the Ethernet port on a computer.

Step 5. Connect the MIL-C-5015 style Ethernet connector to the special Ethernet port on the bottom of

the ZyAIR.

Step 6. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet connector (the other end of the special Ethernet cable) into the

POWER & DATA OUT port on the front of the inline power injector.

When the ZyAIR receives power over the Ethernet cable, the ZyAIR will start its boot sequence and the

ACTIVE LED on the front of the Inline power injector will turn on.

You can configure the ZyAIR using the HTML browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator

from a remote host or PC. See Part I of your ZyAIR User’s Guide for a quick setup guide.
