perhaps the AP (board) is that old that there is no longer any documentation or
reference material easily found on the Internet. I have determined that it (and
Megalink) uses Turbocell which is a little different and perhaps the board is
set up and programmed specifically for this.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Hello,</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
am new to this list and looking for some help and guidance.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have spent some time going thru a few years of postings in the archives for
this list and am a little more clued as a result, but did not find the
particular answers I was looking for.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
am wanting to set up a wireless link over 6km and believe I have the
appropriate equipment and connectors.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>At
one end I am wanting to utilize a redundant setup that already exists. There is
a grid antennae and outdoor Access Point and power to it via the Ethernet
cable.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>My
current problem is I cannot talk to the Access Point. How do I access it?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have removed from the outdoor enclosure the board that had a “NL2511CD
plus ext2” card inserted in it. I have managed to get this card operating
fine in my notebook but how do I access it when it is on the board via the
network cable. I was not able to talk to it when it was in place and since I
have removed it I have issues getting power to it. The whole setup was working
fine when connected to MegaLink (a wireless ISP) but I now want to use it for
my link. I believe with MegaLink it ran some sort of VPN and was not detectable
by me. I have tried to get info on the board without success, I do not believe
it is an AP2000; it has the following markings on it ‘YDI Wireless
Inc’, PWB-0005-01’, ‘blackbird-A’,
‘SD071805’, ‘KN-051E’, ‘BAS-0319-02’,
‘0020f6052bdd’. It has room for 1 PCMCIA card and has one RJ45. It
seems if I could get this working then that is the ideal solution as the card
seems to be well regarded and I have the connections – pig tail to
antennae and power.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>If
that is too hard then I am happy to use another AP but of those I have
immediate access to I have issues with pigtails and power.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
other end I believe I am right with but goodness knows what issues I may have
when I try to make the connection. I have the appropriate powered grid antennae
with appropriate pigtail and a few standard APs to choose from. I have line of
sight.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Although
I am happy learning and progressing slowly there is a degree of urgency to
setting up this link and I am happy to organise some assistance if it is
available. If there is a simple answer re accessing the board then that would
be appreciated but I would be happy to have someone help me / complete the job
and would be happy to pay for such assistance if an amount could be suggested /
proposed.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
am in Wallan and am positioned high with line of sight to the city and more
significantly west. I notice the Northern suburbs group of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Melbourne</st1:place></st1:City> wireless is aiming for a presence in
Wallan, I am happy to assist with the location (if suitable), provision of some
equipment and my cooperation and assistance; if it is of interest.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
