C. Configure for simple wireless LAN test:
1. Configure the wireless adapter in the laptop computer with a
wireless network name (SSID) of Miltope, an IP address of
192.168.1.69, and encryption disabled. (Refer to the wireless
adapter user's manual for configuration instructions.)
2. Configure the desktop computer with an IP address of
192.168.1.67 and if necessary, reboot the computer. (Refer to
operating system user's manual for network configuration.)
D. Test the wireless LAN:
1. On the laptop computer, type ping –n 25 192.168.1.1 <Enter>
(Windows) or ping -c 25 192.168.1.1 <Enter> (Linux). The
nMAP access point RF ACTIVE indicator will flash indicating
wireless LAN activity.
2. Verify that no errors or timeouts are reported and Reply
from 192.168.1.1 is displayed 25 times in the Command
Prompt window. This confirms communication between the
laptop computer and nMAP access point.
3. On the laptop computer, type ping –n 25 192.168.1.67
<Enter> (Windows) or ping –c 25 192.168.1.67 <Enter>
(Linux). The nMAP access point RF ACTIVE indicator will
flash indicating wireless LAN activity.
4. Verify that no errors or timeouts are reported and Reply
from 192.168.1.67 is displayed 25 times in the Command
Prompt window. This confirms communication between the
laptop computer and the desktop computer.
5. On the desktop computer, type ping –n 25 192.168.1.1
<Enter> (Windows) or ping -c 25 192.168.1.1 <Enter>
(Linux). The nMAP access point LAN ACTIVE indicator will
flash indicating wired LAN activity.
6. Verify that no errors or timeouts are reported and Reply
from 192.168.1.1 is displayed 25 times in the Command
Prompt window. This confirms communication between the

INSTALLATION
The nMAP Wireless Access Point must be installed by personnel
qualified and authorized to install equipment aboard an aircraft.
Mounting the nMAP Access Point – As shown in the nMAP access
point outline drawing, six mounting holes are provided. Mount the
nMAP access point using number 10-24 mounting hardware.
Recommended torque value for mounting hardware is 24.0 inch-
pounds. Although not mandatory for specification compliance, it is
recommended that the nMAP access point be mounted to a grounded
surface within the aircraft. An unpainted area around each mounting
hole provides ground connection to the mounting surface.
Mounting the Cabin Antennas - Three antennas are required for
Radio 1 and one antenna is required for Radio 2 The antenna outline
drawing shows the outline dimensions and mounting-hole locations
for the antenna. Refer to nMAP operator's manual M365-627 for
antenna radiation pattern information. Mount the antenna using
number 6-32 mounting hardware. Recommended torque value for
mounting hardware is 5.0 inch-pounds. It is recommended that the
antennas be mounted a minimum of six inches apart.
