The ComTrac Radio MR unit is a wireless LAN device configured as a mobile station.
1. Choose the best location to place the ComTrac Radio. Use the following guidelines:
As high as possible, clearing partitions and tall fixtures.
Away from metallic objects, heat and radiation sources.
2. Connect the DC power supply to an appropriate VDC power outlet. Connect the power output jack of the
power supply to the 12 VDC input socket on the back panel of the unit. Verify that the STATUS LED on the
front panel is turned ON and is green after the unit boots up, indicating that the unit is okay.

4. Use the LEDs on the Ethernet connectors on the back panel to check unit functionality. One LED underneath
each of the Ethernet ports (both B-Side and A-Side) should be ON and green when an Ethernet connection is
made to this port. This LED should be green and flashing whenever there is Ethernet activity (data traffic) on
the Port.
made to this port. This LED should be green and flashing whenever there is Ethernet activity (data traffic) on
the Port.
5. The Mode LED on the front panel should blink at the rate of 1 flash per second when the unit is properly
configured as an MR.
6. The Assoc LED on the front panel of the unit should be turned ON once the unit is associated with an Access
Point.
7. Use the Wireless Signal Strength LED indicators on the front panel to estimate the quality of the signal
received from the AP. 1 LED is ON: Low Quality, 2 LEDs ON: Medium Quality, 3 LEDs ON: High Quality, 4
LEDs ON: Best Quality.
LEDs ON: Best Quality.

System Configuration and Access Control
1. To enable management via SNMP or firmware upgrade to configure the IP.
2. The ComTrac Radio APs contain a network identifier, ESS ID, that will prevent unauthorized access to your
AP. All stations (STAs) must be configured to the same ESS ID. The parameter also enables segmentation of
the wireless network.
the wireless network.
3. With units connected to external antennas, sometimes only a single antenna is used. When using a single
antenna with the ComTrac Radio unit configured as an STA, connect the antenna to Antenna Connector #3.
