Introduction 12
Power Port
The Harmony 802.11a Acce Point ha a power port on it back panel. The voltage
range for the Acce Point’ power connector i 10-26 VDC. Proxim recommend that
you connect only the Cla 2 power upply (12V, 1 Amp) provided with the product to
the power port.
In addition, the Acce Point can accept power from a Harmony Power Sy tem, which
i an alternative power ource to the upplied Cla 2 power upply. The Harmony
Power Sy tem i old eparately. Refer to Proxim’ Web ite or the
Harmony Power
Sy tem U er’ Guide
for more information.
Note: The Acce Point require power from either a Harmony Power Sy tem or
from an external power upply. If you are not u ing the Harmony Power
Sy tem, connect the power upply that came with your Harmony 802.11a
Acce Point to the power port.

Introduction 13
The IEEE 802.11a Specification
In 1997, the In titute of Electrical and Electronic Engineer (IEEE) adopted the 802.11
tandard for wirele device operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. Thi tandard
include provi ion for three radio technologie : direct equence pread pectrum,
frequency hopping pread pectrum, and infrared. Device that comply with the
802.11 tandard operate at a data rate of either 1 or 2 Mbp .
In 1999, the IEEE modified the 802.11 tandard to upport device operating in the
5 GHz frequency band calling thi new tandard “802.11a.” 802.11a device are not
backward compatible with 2.4 GHz 802.11 or 802.11b device . 802.11a radio u e a
radio technology called Orthogonal Frequency Divi ion Multiplexing (OFDM) to
achieve data rate of up to 54 Mbp .
In addition, Proxim’ Harmony 802.11a product upport 2X mode. Thi mode i not
part of the IEEE 802.11a pecification but it allow data rate of up to 108 Mbp . See
“Enable 2X Mode” on page 32 for detail .

Introduction 14
Wireless Network Topologies
The Harmony 802.11a Acce Point i u ed to extend the capability of an exi ting
Ethernet network to device on the 802.11a wirele network. The 802.11a device
can connect to a ingle Acce Point, or everal Acce Point can be configured to
form a ingle wirele network over a large area, allowing mobile client to roam from
one Acce Point to another.
Connecting to a Single AP
Mobile client equipped with 802.11a wirele adapter are configured to operate in
Infra tructure mode and have the ame SSID and ecurity etting a the Acce Point
in u e on the Ethernet network.

Introduction 15
Roaming Between Multiple Access Points
For larger environment , Harmon 802.11a client device may roam from one 802.11a
Acce Point to another while maintaining the ame network connection. The 802.11a
Acce Point e tabli h coverage area or cell imilar in concept to tho e of a cellular
phone network. The mobile client will connect to any 802.11a Acce Point that i
within range.
Figure 4: Roaming Between AP
Each 802.11a Acce Point within a roaming network mu t be configured to u e the
ame SSID and ecurity etting (if applicable), but each hould be configured with a
unique, independent Channel.
Mobile client equipped with 802.11a wirele adapter are configured to operate in
Infra tructure mode and have the ame SSID and ecurity etting a the Acce
Point . Alternatively, the mobile client may u e an SSID of “any” to a ociate with any
available Acce Point, regardle of the Acce Point’ SSID.
A the mobile client eamle ly witche from cell to cell, it network connectivity i
pre erved. The u er can move freely between the Harmony 802.11a Acce Point in
the network. When the roaming client leave the tran mi ion range of one 802.11a
Acce Point, the oftware automatically poll the other 802.11a Acce Point( ) in the
ame vicinity to continue the network connection.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

Introduction 16
Guidelines for Roaming
• An 802.11a client can only roam between 802.11a Acce Point . An 802.11a
client cannot communicate with 802.11b Acce Point .
• All 802.11a Acce Point mu t have the ame SSID.
• All work tation with 802.11a client adapter in talled mu t u e either an SSID of
“any” or the ame SSID a the Acce Point that they will roam between.
• All 802.11a Acce Point and client mu t have the ame ecurity etting to
communicate.
• The Acce Point ’ cell mu t overlap to en ure that there are no gap in coverage
and to en ure that the roaming client will alway have a connection available.
• All Acce Point in the ame vicinity hould u e a unique, independent Channel.
• Acce Point that u e the ame Channel hould be in talled a far away from
each other a po ible to reduce potential interference.

Introduction 17
When to Use an AP Controller
Stand-alone Harmony 802.11a Acce Point are well uited for mall office
environment . However, a you increa e the number of Acce Point or the
complexity of your network, it can become more difficult to efficiently manage the
wirele infra tructure. In the e ca e , you can add an Acce Point Controller to
provide centralized management and configuration for the Acce Point .
Al o, a Harmony Sy tem with an AP Controller offer everal additional feature that
are not available with the tand-alone Harmony 802.11a Acce Point, including:
• Management of Acce Point via a Single U er Interface
• Configure AP Default etting that are automatically a igned to new AP
• Organize AP into Group to implify management and configuration
• Additional Security Feature
• Harmony Security Protocol
• Wired Server Addre Filter (VPN tunnel)
• Authorization Table (allow or deny network acce ba ed on MAC addre )
• Allow Wirele Client to Roam Acro IP Subnet
• Packet Filtering Ba ed on Protocol Type
Refer to the
Harmony Acce Point Controller U er’ Guide for more information on
the e feature .

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
The Harmony 802.11a Acce Point Model 8569 and 8570 operate in the frequency
range of 5.15 to 5.35 GHz; they are re tricted to indoor u e due to their operation in the
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range. FCC 15.407(e) require that the e device be u ed
indoor in the frequency range of 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite y tem . Therefore the device hould be
u ed indoor only for channel 36, 40, 44 and 48 and when 2X mode i enabled,
channel 42 and 50. The Harmony 802.11a Acce Point Model 8571 operate in the
frequency range of 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and i not ubject to the above re triction.
Note: High power radar are allocated a primary u er of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and
5.65 to 5.85 GHz band. The e radar tation can cau e interference with
and/or damage the Harmony 802.11a Acce Point (Model 8569, 8570, and
8571).
Industry Canada Guidelines
Model 8569 and 8570 have been de igned to operate with antenna having a
maximum gain of 6 dBi. Model 8571 ha been de igned to operate with an antenna
having a maximum gain of 12 dBi. Antenna having higher gain are trictly
prohibited per regulation of Indu try Canada. The required antenna impedance i
50 ohm . To reduce potential radio interference to other u er , the antenna type and
it gain hould be o cho en that the equivalent i otropically radiated power (EIRP) i
not more than that required for ucce ful communication. The in taller of thi radio
equipment mu t en ure that the antenna are located or pointed uch that they do
not emit RF field in exce of Health Canada limit for the general population; con ult

Installation
Determine the be t location for the Harmony 802.11a Acce Point u ing the following
con ideration :
• The length of the Ethernet cable that connect the Acce Point to the network
mu t not exceed 100 meter .
• Place the Acce Point indoor , on a flat, turdy urface a far from the ground a
po ible, uch a on top of a de k or bookca e, keeping clear of metal ob truc-
tion and away from direct unlight.
• Try to centrally locate the Acce Point’ antenna o that they will provide cover-
age to all of the wirele device in the area.
• If u ing Model 8571 with external antenna :
• Place the Acce Point and antenna o that the antenna can be ea ily
connected to the Acce Point.
• U e the horte t antenna cable po ible; u e a longer Ethernet cable if
nece ary.
• You mu t u e two antenna with the Model 8571 Acce Point (but you can u e
two different antenna if nece ary).
Important Notice
In compliance with FCC rule and regulation , only profe ionally trained per onnel
are qualified to in tall Model 8571. Model 8571 i approved for u e with the following
high gain antenna :
• Patch antenna with 7dBi gain
• Patch antenna with 12dBi gain
• Omni antenna with 5dBi gain
Follow the e tep to in tall the Acce Point:
1. Place the Acce Point in the de ired location. If you want to mount the Acce
Point to a wall or ceiling, ee “Mounting In truction ” on page 22 for in truction .
Note: If u ing Model 8571 with external antenna , in tall the antenna and cabling
