QUICK START GUIDE

NOTE:

Additional setup information can be found in the "Operating for the First
Time" section of the operating manual.

NOTE:

The BTR-24 can be configured for use with TR-240 (default) -orTR-24 beltpacks. Refer to the BTR-24 Operating Manual for instructions
to change the configuration for operation with TR-24 beltpacks.

NOTE:

Prior to use, the TR-240 or (TR-24) battery packs should be fully

charged. Refer to the battery charge instructions in their user manuals.

Wireless Mode Setup

For a wireless mode configuration, a BTR-24 base station provides the
wireless coverage area for TR-240 (or TR-24) beltpacks configured in
wireless mode.

1. Select a location for the BTR-24 base station(s) and connect the
power cord(s) and antennas.

For omni-directional antennas, place the BTR-24(s) as close

to the center of the coverage area as possible.

If external power is not available, then the BTR-24 base

station(s) can run off its internal battery (if already charged).
2. For Extended Wireless Mode, connect all the base stations and
wired beltpacks to each other with Ethernet cables via the RJ-45
connectors.

Use CAT-5e or better Ethernet cables that are wired to

standard T-568A or T-568B.

Do not use more than 100m (328ft) of Ethernet cable between

devices.

If desired, a TR-240 (or TR-24) in wired mode can be

plugged into an AC outlet for prolonged use.
3. Turn on the base station(s).

Extended Wireless Mode Setup

For an extended wireless mode configuration, wireless coverage is
provided to multiple locations by adding a BTR-24 to an existing local
area network (LAN) via Ethernet cable or through a buildings
Ethernet infrastructure. The BTR-24 will provide wireless coverage in
its location while communicating to other network devices over wired
Ethernet. Other network devices could be BTR-24s, BTR-240s, and/or
TR-240 (or TR-24) beltpacks in wired mode.
NOTE:

The TR-24 beltpack is not fully compatible with the BTR-240 base
station. When using a BTR-240 base station, only the TR-240
beltpacks may be used.

After approx. 15 seconds, the boot cycle will complete, the

active RF channel is displayed and the LED labeled "AP
ACTIVE" will blink.
