In addition, through the use of Motorola’s patented Virtual AP architecture, the WS5100 lets you create multiple WLANs without changing or adding to the existing wired network infrastructure.
• Verify the electrical circuits have appropriate overload protection. • Attach only approved power cords to the device. • Motorola strongly recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that supports the WS5100 power rating. Not using a UPS can result in data loss or...
• Verify the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the operation of the equipment. • Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces. • Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during thunderstorms or other weather conditions that could cause a power surge.

Hardware Setup 3.1 Installing the WS5100 To install the WS5100 switch in a rack: 1. Attach the rack brackets to the sides of the device. The rack brackets are ambidextrous. 2. Attach the brackets to the rack.
WS5100 Series Switch Installation Guide 3.2 Adding the WS5100 to the Network The WS5100 fits in the distribution layer of the existing wired network, and must have OSI Layer 2 or Layer 3 connectivity with the access ports it needs to adopt.
4. Toggle the power switch (at the back of the WS5100) to the On position. WARNING! An improper shutdown can render the WS5100 inoperable such that it could require service by Motorola Support. Do not remove AC power or turn off the WS5100 (by toggling the on/off switch on the back of the device) without first following the shutdown procedure described in “Shutting Down the WS5100”...

After you have connected to the WS5100 through the serial port and powered on the switch, the terminal emulation window displays a series of diagnostic messages (which you can ignore), after which it displays the WS5100 Series user name prompt. Use the name CLI to continue: user name: cli NOTE: If the user name prompt isn’t displayed, press Enter until it...
WS5100 Series Switch Installation Guide 4.2 Configuring the WS5100 IP Address Before you can set the switch’s preliminary configuration using the Web UI, the IP address assigned to the switch must be known. By default the switch uses virtual LAN 1, which is mapped to Ethernet port 2 for the switch default wired LAN management port.
• JIT compiler for virtual enabled (requires restart) 4.3.2 Launching the WS5100 Series Switch Web UI To display the WS5100 Series Switch Web UI, launch a Web browser on a computer with the capability of accessing the WS5100. NOTE: HTTP access is required to use the WS5100 Web UI.

WS5100 Series Switch Installation Guide 4. Enter a System Name for this switch. The System Name is helpful in differentiating multiple switches with similar configurations. 5. Use the Country drop-down menu to assign the switch a country of operation. Selecting the country is central to legally operating a WS5100. Each country has its own regulatory restrictions concerning electromagnetic emissions and the maximum RF signal strength that can be transmitted.

Configuration 6. Optionally specify the switch location and the administrator’s email address as a point of contact in case an individual needs to be notified regarding events impacting switch performance. You are now ready to define a WLAN and configure it with the minimum security required to securely test an MU association.

13.Specify a 4 to 32 character pass key and click the Generate button. The pass key can be any alphanumeric string. The WS5100, other proprietary routers and Motorola MUs use the algorithm to convert an ASCII string to the same hexadecimal number. MUs without Motorola adapters need to use WEP keys manually configured as hexadecimal numbers.
Configuration 4-11 4.4 Verifying the Configuration The surest way to verify the WLAN’s configuration is valid and the switch is operational, is to associate a MU and confirm the MU can communicate with a device on the wired LAN. To verify the MU’s association with the WS5100: 1.
