Introduction The Product The product is based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, which is the latest 54Mbps Wireless LAN (WLAN) standard. This standard is five times faster than the widely deployed WiFi (802.11b) products that are found in homes, airport and public wireless hotspots. Because 802.11g uses the same 2.4GHz frequency band, the product is fully interoperable with existing WiFi cards and devices.
Basic IP Networking IP = Internet Protocol IP stands for Internet Protocol. In an IP network, every device has a unique IP Address (For example: 192.168.1.35) to identify itself. There are two ways of assigning an IP address to a PC or Router: Static and Automatic (DHCP). Static IP addresses are keyed-in manually, while Dynamic IPs are distributed by a DHCP Server.
Wireless LAN Basics A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and public Hotspots. WLAN can support the same applications and software that run on a wired network (LAN). Besides supporting the same software and functions, WLAN brings greater convenience and eliminates the need to lay Ethernet cables in a home or office. The AP1001g is based on the finalised 802.11g standard.
Make sure that the WLAN signals do not have to pass through too many concrete walls and metal structures to reach the client. Make sure that APs are located far away from one another to avoid interference. Interference Interference happens when 2 APs with the same channels are placed near to one another. The speed of the network drops and the signal strength fluctuates wildly. Roaming Association happens when the SSID, Encryption and MAC Address Control settings are correct between the AP and client.
GETTING STARTED AP1001G CONFIGURATION Web Configuration AP1001g can be configure using a web server. 1. Connect the network as shown previously. If you are accessing the web server via Ethernet cable, check that the upper LED lights up on AP1001g. If your PC is wireless, check the PC’s card utility to make sure that the signal strength is good and that the bottom LED lights up on AP1001g. 2. Open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape etc.). 3. Type AP1001g LAN IP (192.168.1.
Basic Configuration Administration This page allows you to change the Username and Password for admin user. The default username and password is admin / admin. After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this combination. Device name allows you to give APRT-2001g2 a name. Device Name: User Name: Password: admin ***** The username and password are case sensitive. Location This page allows you to store information such as where the AP1001g is being placed.
IP Configuration This page allows you to choose the type of IP Static IP mode DHCP mode IP Address: 192 Subnet Mask: 255 Default Gateway Address: 0 Domain Name Server IP Address: 0 . . . . 168 255 0 0 . . . . 1 255 0 0 . . . . 20 0 0 0 Static IP mode: When you boot up the AP1001g for the first time, it is in Static mode. You assign a Static IP to AP1001g. The default IP address, subnet mask and gateway mask are 192.168.1.20, 255.255.255.0 and 0.0.0.0.

Protection Type: Select either CTS only or RTS-CTS Short Slot Time: Enable or disable short time slot usage WPA Security This section allows you to configure wireless encryption to prevent unwelcome parties from reading your traffic. Authentication can also be configured to block outsiders from accessing your network.
Security Server Settings RADIUS Server: RADIUS Port: 1812 RADIUS Secret: 2.4GHz Key Source: Local Remote RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS Server (for 802.1x authentication purposes). This is used only when you have a RADIUS Server and want to use it for authenticating the Wireless Clients. Almost all homes and many offices do not have a RADIUIS Server. These settings are for advanced users only. RADIUS Port: Enter the port number of the RADIUS Server.
Enable Non-WPA Security: Tick the box to enable the following suite of Encryption and Authentication features. Enabling non-WPA security will disable WPA security. Open System: No encryption and authentication features in this mode. When the AP1001g is in this mode, any Client can associate with it. This is the default setting for the non-WPA Security setting. Pre-shared Key: When chosen, the encryption Key is also used for authentication between AP1001g and Client.
Remember that after every configuration change, it is necessary to: - Click Update on the page. Reboot AP1001g. The changes take effect only AFTER Reboot.
Restore settings from the backup: Allows you to retrieve the “Good Config” that you have saved previously. Remember that after every configuration change, it is necessary to: - Click Update on the page. Reboot AP1001g. The changes take effect only AFTER Reboot.
Status System Status This page presents a convenient overview of the overall status of the AP1001g. The most common configuration parameters are shown here, for a quick look. IP Mode: IP Address: Subnet Mask: Gateway Address: SSID: Wireless Mode: DHCP mode 192.168.1.20 255.255.252.0 0.0.0.
Super User Super User This page allows you to change the Username and Password for admin user. The default username and password is admin / admin. After every factory reset, the Username and Password reverts to this combination. AP1001g does not allow you to set the same Username for both admin and super users. User Name: Password: super ***** The Username of super user cannot be the same as the Username of admin user. Firmware Upgrade This page allows you to update the firmware (software) in AP1001g.
