Conﬁguring AirConnect 2.0 Access Points for Compatibility with

AirConnect 1.x

When installing 3Com AirConnect 2.0 access points into a network with

3Com AirConnect 1.x access points, you must change the default RF preamble

setting in the AirConnect 2.0 access points to ensure compatibility with

AirConnect 1.x (see ﬁgures on reverse to identify your access point).

The AirConnect 2.0 Short RF Preamble setting must be disabled using the

following procedure:

1 Start HyperTerminal and connect to the AirConnect 2.0 access

point (refer to the Access Point User Guide for information on

how to use HyperTerminal to conﬁgure the access point).

2 From the Main menu, select RF Conﬁguration.

3 In the RF Conﬁguration menu, select Short RF Preamble.

4 Press the spacebar to select Disabled.

5 Press F1 to save the settings. Under Windows 2000, you must tab

to the onscreen F1 selection, then press Enter to save the settings.

6 Return to the Main menu and select Special Functions.

7 From the Special Functions menu, select Reset AP.

8 Conﬁrm the reset when prompted to reboot the access point.

NOTE: AirConnect 2.0 PC Cards support access points conﬁgured for

either long or short RF preamble, and are compatible with both the

AirConnect 2.0 and 1.x access points. AirConnect 1.x PC Cards support

only access points conﬁgured for a long RF preamble, and are compatible

with AirConnect 2.0 and 1.x access points that are conﬁgured to disable

short RF preamble.
