Point-to-Multipoint Application
A point-to-multipoint application is a wireless cell made up of an S3100 bridge (the master)
and several S1100w transmitters (the clients). Here is a typical point-to-multipoint system:
For example, to associate three S1100w devices to one outdoor wireless bridge, you need
to:
1. Assign the same wireless passkey to the S1100w devices and the S3100 bridge. The
wireless passkey must be different from that of other colocated cells, if any.
2. In a non-DFS context, assign a frequency channel to the S3100 device. In a DFS
context, the master device will automatically select a channel.
The associated S1100w devices will automatically use their master’s channel.
3. Install the S1100w devices such that each one has a clear RF line of sight with the
S3100 bridge.
For the configuration and installation procedure, see page 19.
Compatibility Issues
When planning your wireless systems, you have to take into account the firmware versions
of the involved devices. It is recommended that the S1100w transmitters have the same
firmware versions as their associated master; however, from version 2.60 and up, the
devices are fully compatible (for example, an S1100w at version 3.20 with an S3100 at
version 3.60).
In a wireless cell, the order in which you configure the devices (either the first time or later
when they are installed in the field) or update their firmware is critical if you do not want to
lose access to them. You should then:
Update the devices starting with the farthest (in terms of number of RF hops) from the
computer running the upgrade procedure.
One step at a time, get closer to the computer.
