Replacing the PC Card in an AP
You may need to replace a defective PC Card or upgrade the PC Card in an AP. If
upgrading the AP from a 2 Mbit/s PC Card to an 11 Mbit/s PC Card, make sure that the AP
firmware version is V5.0 or greater, as described in the “Checking RoamAbout Product
Version Numbers” section on page 6-13.
You should disable encryption before replacing a PC Card with one that does not support
encryption.
To change the PC Card in an AP configured for a wireless infrastructure network, you only
need to remove AC power, replace the PC Card, and power on the AP.
To change the PC Card in an AP configured for a LAN-to-LAN network, perform the
following:
1. Remove AC power.
2. Replace the PC Card.
3. Power on the AP.
4. Change the wireless MAC address on each remote AP configured to communicate
with this AP. The wireless MAC address for an AP is printed on the back of its PC
Card.
NOTE: Refer to the Regulatory information, FCC requirements, and
installation information shipped with the PC Card before you install it.
