I'll let you know (If you don't notice) how it turns out. Maybe I can talk them into helping my cell phone reception Well, somehow ebay spoke and I listened, and now I’m determined to get these 6 Arlan 630-900 to do something interesting – if only to feel that they’re not taking advantage of me and just using me for my shelf space.

I have 2 Aironet Arlan 631-900 - 900MHz Token Ring Access Point (PN 200-001844-001). I'm getting ready to sell them on eBay, but don't really know much about them. Came to your sight to find out some info. Can anyone help?. Thanks. Hi. I have 2 Aironet Arlan 631-900 – 900MHz Token Ring Access Point (PN 200-001844-001).

So unfortunately I can't tell you what to type to make them work. I wish you the best of luck.

I am using a Mac (too stupid to use real computers) it has 10.5.6 in it. It does have a terminal for doing real unix (please remember too stupid, lazy or ignorant for real computers). How do I get into an Aironet ARLAN 630-900 900MHz Ethernet Access Point PN 200-001842-001 Or an Aironet ARLAN 631-900 900MHz Token Ring Access Point PN: 200-001843-001 My ethernet sees and connect automatically, But I am trying to connect to the other one which is connected to a Windows computer. Eventually we want to try to connect them to 13dBi Yagi antennas and connect to a sister one mile away. I am a novice, but fairly quick study, especially when someone says, "type xxxxxxx then hit enter and you see xxxxxx" sort of instructions. I have been on the net for 12 hours looking for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. OK, last post here is 2008-june but here it goes.

Haven't touched any of them again and probably want. Ken and I have both moved and our arlans are in a box somewhere. Ubiquity has 900mhz <a href="http://metrix.net/ubiquiti-extreme-range-9-900mhz-700mw-mini-pci-p-101.html" rel="nofollow">cards</a>, so it's not really worth the time. Nope.

Is there a jtag port on any of these? Hey – Any luck at all with the brocked Arlan 630-900’s – I have two with the same issue, the downgrade loads and goes into an endless loop of decompressing….

Cisco used to have a copy of IOS in ROM so even if you hosed your IOS you could boot with limited functionality and get another one up. I'm not sure about all the newer lines but I know that the 2600 dropped the boot rom, but still had rommon which supported the likes of xmodem.<br/><br/>whereas on the arlan, ctrl+break, random key pounding, etc, brings up not rommon like interface on boot. such a thing probably doesn't exist.<br/><br/>we haven't verified the link distance yet, still burn-in testing my plastic bag based outdoor case.

If it only does ftp when it is working, it would be up to something special in the boot code to do tftp or serial xfer. I wonder if there is someway to get them to do something like xmodem from the serial port? I used to do firmware upgrades to ciscos and ascend stuff (especially the isdn ta's) over the seral port.
