Chapter 1 Introduction The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point is a high-speed wireless unit that performs as a transparent Media Access Control (MAC) bridge between wired Local Area Networks, and one or more wireless networks. It brings Ethernet-like performance to the wireless realm. Placed anywhere along an Ethernet LAN, the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point allows wireless stations in their coverage area to transparently access the corporate network. Fully compliant with the IEEE 802.
C1- Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites where a temporary network will be practical. C2- Retailers, airline and shipping companies need additional workstations during peak period. C3- Auditors requiring workgroups at customer sites. 5. Access to database for mobile workers Doctors, nurses, retailers, accessing their database while being mobile in the hospital, retail store or office campus. 6.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation This chapter describes initial setup of the Access Point. 2-1 Product Kit Before installation, make sure that you have the following items: The 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point……………………………………x 1 Quick Start Guide. …………………………………………………………...x 1 Power Adapter……………………………………………..………………….x 1 Product CD ……………………………………………………………………x 1 If any of the above items is not included or damaged, please contact your local dealer for support.
the Access Point. Then connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to a hub or a station. Please be aware that, use the MDI port to connect the Access Point to a hub. Otherwise, please use the MDI-X port to connect the Access Point to a computer/station. Connect the Power Cable Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Access Point, and plug the other end of the power into an electrical outlet.
The statistics tab contains three of the following items for you to monitor the Ethernet and Wireless network traffic. Ethernet: You may monitor the TX/RX on the wired network. Wireless: You may monitor the TX/RX of the wireless network. Wireless Error: This item offers detailed information on error wireless packets that the AP receives and transmits. Receive: Packet FCS Errors: The number of wireless packets that fail during FCS transmission (Frame Check Status when accessing the wired network.
Station Adapter – 802.11 Ad-Hoc (SAA2): Same to SAA. This Ad-Hoc mode complies with 802.11 standard. NOTE: When setting the operation mode to either PxP or SAA, you need to set the Access Points with the same channel. ESSID however can be ignored. When the SAA2 is selected, you need to set both the ESSID and channel for the Access Point. ESSID: The ESSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients associating to the Access Point must have the same ESSID.
In the IP Address tab, there are two TCP/IP modes for the Wireless Access Point: Bridge-Only and IP Router. Bridge-Only To enable remote access to the Wireless Access Point using Telnet or Web Management, you need to select the Bridge-Only mode and assign an IP address to the wireless Router. You may either give a fixed IP address to your Wireless Access Point by choosing the Manual item, or set your wireless Access Point to function as DHCP client with the DHCP item selected.
server, WINS server, you may either choose to set manually or obtain these parameter via your DHCP server. WEP: The 11Mbps Wireless Access Point allows you to create 4 data encryption keys to secure your data from being eavesdropped by unauthorized wireless user. To activate and set the WEP keys, do the following: From the WEP encryption item, pull down the menu and it will list three options: Disable – Allows wireless adapters to communicate with Wireless Access Points without any data encryption.
• The import/export file is in a plain text format. 3-2 Using the Web Management The built-in Web Management provides you with a user-friendly graphical user interface (web pages) to manage your Wireless Access Points. An AP with an assigned IP address (e.g. http://192.168.1.1) will allow you via web browser (e.g., Netscape Navigator 3.0 ~ 4.5 or MS Internet Explorer 4.0 or later) to monitor and configure the Wireless Access Point. 1. Open your web browser. 2.
3-3 Using the Console Mode The Access Point can be configured via the command prompt console with either: RS232 (serial) Connection: The RS232 port configuration is provided for advanced users to manage the Access Point. You may use any terminal emulation program with a RS232 (serial) connection (e.g., Telix, ProCOMM, Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000’s HyperTerminal) to configure the Access Point.
To change factory default settings, type “set xxx (parameter) xxxx (value) based on the chart below. For example, set channel 7 command will set the channel to number 7; set essid “Your Network” command will set the ESSID as Your Network. Remember that, a ‘save’ command is required for changes to take effect. Always reset your AP with the “Reset” command. The following is a list of parameters you can make changes on the Access Point.
Issue a reset signal. The Access Point will be reset if the user confirms. 3-3-2 Advanced Setup This section describes the advanced commands to configure the 11Mbps Wireless Access Point. The advanced parameters include Access Control Table, WEP, DHCP/IP Router Mode, PPPOE, Wireless DHCP Server and NAT. Please follow the instructions of each command to set your Access Point.
set key4 key_text: set WEP Key#2 as key_text with a same format as WEP Key#1. set usekey 1|2|3|4: Select the WEP key to be used for encrypting data transmission. Only one key can be selected at a time. list: Display current WEP settings. Note: Your new WEP settings will take effect after resetting the Access Point. DHCP/IP Router Mode ipcfg set | renew | release The 'ipcfg' command contains sub-commands that allow you to manage Ethernet port of the Wireless Micro Access Point.
set mode | ip_start | ip_end | ip_netmask | ip_gateway | ip_dns1 | ip_dns2 | ip_wins1 | ip_wins2 |wizard: set the DHCP server mode and other related network parameters for the Wireless Access Point. The definition of “dhcp set mode” command is listed as follows: • mode [disable/enable]: disable or enable the DHCP server function stat: display IP addresses and MAC addresses of wireless clients.
Chapter 4 Troubleshooting If you have trouble using the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point, the starting point to troubleshoot the problem with your Access Point is looking at the LED activity of the Access Point. The following is “LED Error Table” provided to assist you in diagnosing and solving operational problems.

Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. Infrastructure The 11Mbps Wireless LAN devices provide access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN PC users and an Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless-equipped PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
within range. In cellular and personal communications applications, each cell or microcell has its own base station; each base station in turn is interconnected with other cells’ base. Bridge - An internetworking function that incorporates the lowest 2 layers of the OSI network protocol model. BSS - Stands for “Basic Service Set,” an Access Point and all the wireless clients that associated with it. ESS - Stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set.
