Wi-Fi Array
58 Installing the Wi-Fi Array
Ethernet port
You need at least one 100/1000 BaseT port to establish wired Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity (via the product’s Gigabit 1 or Gigabit 2 port) and
one 10/100 BaseT port (if desired) for product management.
Secure Shell (SSH) utility
To establish secure remote command line access to the Array, you need a
Secure Shell (SSH) utility, such as PuTTY. The utility must be configured
to use SSH-2, since the Array will only allow SSH-2 connections.
Secure Web browser
Either Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or higher), Netscape Navigator
(version 7.0 or higher), or Mozilla Firefox (version 1.01 or higher).
A secure Web browser is required for Web-based management of the
Array. The browser must be on the same subnet as the Array, or you must
set a static route for management as described in the warning above.
Serial connection capability
To connect directly to the console port on the Array, your computer must
be equipped with a male 9-pin serial port and terminal emulation
software (for example, HyperTerminal). The Xirrus Array only supports
serial cable lengths up to 25’ per the RS-232 specification.
!
The Array’s Ethernet ports should be connected to an Ethernet switch, not
an Ethernet hub — if a hub is used, we recommend that you connect only
one Ethernet port.
!
The Gigabit1 Ethernet interface is the primary port for both data and
management traffic. If a single Ethernet connection is used, it must be
connected to the Gigabit1 Ethernet interface. See also, “Port Failover
Protection” on page 80.
The 10/100 Ethernet Port may be used for managing the Array out of
band from the Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 10/100 port will route only
management traffic, using a static route that may be configured for this
interface. See “interface” on page 370.
