Chapter 3: Configuration Login 1. 2. 3. Start your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the device. Make sure your wired station is set to the same subnet as the device, i.e. 198.245.80.123 Start your WEB browser. In the Address box, enter the following: http:// 198.245.80.211 4. Please enter the username “admin” and password “admin” for login. The configuration menu is divided into three folders: Internet Settings, Wireless Settings, and Administration.
Common Connection Types Cable Modems Type Dynamic IP Address Details Your IP Address is allocated automatically, when you connect to you ISP. Static (Fixed) IP Address Your ISP allocates a permanent IP Address to you. ISP Data required Usually, none. However, some ISP's may require you to use a particular Hostname, Domain name, or MAC (physical) address. IP Address allocated to you. Some ISP's may also require you to use a particular Hostname, Domain name, or MAC (physical) address.

Network Name (SSID) Multiple SSID 1~6 A SSID is referred to a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network. A multiple SSID is referred to a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network. Broadcast Network Name(SSID) Enable: This wireless AP will broadcast its SSID to stations. Disable: This wireless AP will NOT broadcast its SSID to stations.
Advanced Advanced Wireless BG Protection Mode Select Auto, On or Off from the pull-down menu. Basic Data Rates By default, the unit adaptively selects the highest possible rate for transmission. Select the basic rates to be used among the following options: 1-2Mbps, Default (1-2-5.5-11Mbps), or All(1-2-5,5-6-1112-24Mbps.) Beacon Interval Beacon Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions.
RTS Threshold RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.. The default value is 2347. Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy. This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.
Select SSID SSID choice Select the SSID form the pull-down menu for security settings. Security Mode There are several types of authentication modes including Disable, Open, Shared, WEP Auto, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2 and 802.1X.

Chapter 4: PC Configuration Overview For each PC, the following may need to be configured: • TCP/IP network settings • Internet Access configuration • Wireless configuration Windows Clients • This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Device. • The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
Checking TCP/IP Settings - Windows 2000 1. 2. Select Control Panel - Network and Dial-up Connection. Right - click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. You should see a screen like the following: 3. 4. Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card. Click on the Properties button. You should then see a screen like the following. 5. Ensure your TCP/IP settings are correct, as described below.
Using DHCP • To use DHCP, select the radio button Obtain an IP Address automatically. This is the default Windows setting. Using this is recommended. By default, the Wireless Device will act as a DHCP Server. • Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP Address from the Wireless Device. Using a fixed IP Address ("Use the following IP Address") If your PC is already configured, check with your network administrator before making the following changes.
5. Ensure your TCP/IP settings are correct. Using DHCP • To use DHCP, select Obtain an IP Address automatically. This is the default Windows setting. Using this is recommended. By default, the Wireless Device will act as a DHCP Server. • Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP Address from the Wireless Device. Using a fixed IP Address ("Use the following IP Address") If your PC is already configured, check with your network administrator before making the following changes.
For Windows 2000 1. Select Start Menu - Settings - Control Panel - Internet Options. 2. Select the Connection tab, and click the Setup button. 3. Select "I want to set up my Internet connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area network (LAN)" and click Next. 4. Select "I connect through a local area network (LAN)" and click Next. 5. Ensure all of the boxes on the following Local area network Internet Configuration screen are unchecked. 6.
Macintosh Clients From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Wireless Device. The procedure is as follows. 1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel. 2. Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu. 3. Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left blank. 4. Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.
Wireless Station Configuration • This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless Device's Access Point, regardless of the operating system that is used on the client. • To use the Wireless Station with Wireless Device, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as follows: Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure. SSID (ESSID) This must match the value used on the Wireless Device. The default value is Untitled. Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting A Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Device and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Device still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Solution 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Device to configure it.
• Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Wireless Access Problem 1: Solution 1: Problem 2: Solution 2: My PC can't locate the Wireless Device. Check the following: • Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode.) • The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Device are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup". • Both your PC and the Wireless Device must have the same setting for security.
Appendix B: About Wireless LANs B BSS BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data that is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it. If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WEP Key WEP Authentication Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit. For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match. For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
WPA WPA2 (AES) WPA2 Mixed WPA (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2 (AES)/ WPA2 Mixed: If one of these securities is enabled on the Wireless Device, each station must use the same settings as the Wireless Device. If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless Device, the security of each station should be disabled as well.
