Oh yeah... It's been over a year now since I worked directly with the
Proxim AP-(2|4)000s, but I do remember this. Have your guys tried
using a CTRL-J and CTRL-M key sequence for login? I remember having
to do this to get logged into the Proxims. Once logged in, though,
the standard key sequences worked.

Mike,
I'll try not to turn this list into a serial adapter debugger
discussion,
but we want to make this work under a Mac (My kids college fund is
in AAPL
;-).
Would you mind mentioning the settings that you have tried.
So far my guys have spent hours on it without success.
We are at the point of looking at Minicom source and add a
"send line ends with line feed" option...sort of!

I usually use Minicom (via Fink) to do work like that, and I don't
usually have issues connecting to gear from my MBP with the Keyspan

usually get it to work.

Proxim's users,
(AP-4000, AP-2000...)
We are not able to connect via a serial link to Proxim's AP
with Macintosh based terminal emulators
(Z-term etc...) using a K-Span USB to Serial adapter.
or other flavors.
Has anyone out there figured out a way?
-We have the right serial cable
-We can make it work on Cisco devices
-Has been working for years with Windows :(
Any tip welcome (Except "get a PC" or "run it over Parallel or
Fusion
in a PC env." ;-)

Brian,
This is something we wanted to do as well in our dorms last summer,
but we
then balanced convenience versus price and decided to spend some
money
on a CBA architecture, to sleep better at night.
I still believe that the system would have been great.
Ethan Sommer at gac.edu did a presentation at Educause about their
deployment of Linksys APs.
http://connect.educause.edu/Library/Abstract/UsingConsumerLinuxBasedAc/42004
Here is how we wanted to do it at Univ of TN:
-Open-Wrt on Linksys APs
-use PoE http://www.webpowerswitch.com
-Take the existing cat5 circuit in the student room
and let the student use ports on the linksys to replace
the lost port (no wiring cost)
For management, with the money that you save, hire a
full time coder(proficient in SNMP)/WLAN engineer ;-)

I was wondering if there are other schools who have deployed or

thinking of deploying open source code flashed access points.
The students want wireless in the dorms as you all know but
because of
budget and time we are looking into some alternative temporary
solutions,
like dd-wrt flashed linksys access points. We where thinking of
deploying a
pre-configured AP with the antenna power setting set to it's
lowest power
level and a few other minor configuration. I know this could be a
challenge
in managing these devices (although they have appliances/software
out there
that can manage them). If we could give the students an
alternative to
bringing into their dorm a rogue AP until we can get a permanent
wireless
infrastructure the benefits "could" out weight the headaches.
Comments?
