Spectrum24 Client Bridge to LWAPP AP isnt working

dbuttry · ‎02-26-2008

We have several GE MAC5000 EKG Carts that use a Spectrum24 Client Bridge (CB-1000-0000) that has a Symbol PCMCIA 802.11b card in it. These work fine with our autonomous APs but will not work on our new LWAPP wireless network. It does associate but if I look at the controller at the details of the client it shows an IP address of 0.0.0.0. These are statically assigned and I do not require DHCP for the WLAN it is associating to. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks.

Are the CB-1000's showing up in the Client Exclusion List.

Are your LWAPP AP's using the same IP Scheme as the Autonomous AP's?

I have had problems with other Symbol gear (wireless barcode scanners) and Zebra wireless printers when trying to use static addresses once AP's were converted to LWAPP - I would get a similar situation that you are describing.

I ended up using DHCP but putting in a reservation for those devices with the IP address I wanted to use.
