2. Using the EZ Installation Wizard The installation method makes the process as simple as possible. 1. Connect the SMCWTK-G to a PC using the Cat-5 Ethernet Cable. 2. Plug in the 4V power supply or use the supplied USB cable to plug into an available USB port on the PC. 3. Insert the EZ Installation Wizard and Documentation CD.
4. Select “Install Utility”. 5. The Scan/Configuration Utility is now installed. Go to “Start”, then “Programs”, select “SMC 802.11g Wireless Traveler’s Kit”, and then “SMC 802.11g Wireless Traveler’s Kit Configuration Utility” to start the SMCWTK-G Scan/Configuration Utility Program.
6. The Scan/Configuration automatically scans for SMCWTK-G on the network.
7. Highlight the SMCWTK-G that you would like to configure and click “Configure”. If your PC has the same IP address subnet range as the SMCWTK-G, then the login screen will appear. Enter the username and password. The default IP address of the SMCWTK-G is 192.168.2.25. The username is “admin” and the password is “smcadmin”. Skip to Step 10. 8. Make sure the PC has an IP address on the 192.168.2.xxx subnet, such as 192.168.2.30. If not, the IP window will appear, as shown below.
9. From Scan/Configuration Utility, select the SMCWTK-G that you would like to configure and click “Configure”. You will be asked to enter the username and password to configure the SMCWTK-G. By default, the username is “admin” and the password is “smcadmin”. Enter this information and click OK.
10. The default mode of SMCWTK-G is Access Point (AP) mode. To switch to Client, Repeater, Point-to-Point Bridging (P2P), or Point-to-Multipoint Bridging (PMP) mode, go to the Mode Page and select the desired mode. Click Apply.
11. Then go to the Mode page and click Setup. Configure the applicable properties for that mode, such as the SSID, Channel, and Security.
12. The SMCWTK-G is now ready to use.
3. Operating Modes 3.1 Introduction to Operating Modes 3.1.1 Traveler’s AP Mode The Access Point (AP) mode is by default the out-of-box operational mode. When the user resets the system to the default manufacturing settings, the operational mode also reverts to AP mode. In the AP mode, the system functions as a standard AP, where wireless clients connected to the AP can then connect to other wireless clients or to the wired network.
3.1.2 Repeater Mode Repeater mode extends the range of a wireless network. Repeater nodes re-transmit the signal of an AP or wireless router to effectively extend the range of that AP or wireless router. Wireless clients can associate with the repeater. Figure2 shows the network with one repeater, and the repeater allowing wireless clients to associate. To configure the SMCWTK-G as a Repeater, please ensure the following: . • Enter the MAC address of the Parent AP or wireless router in the Remote AP MAC .
3.1.3 Point-to-Point (P2P) Mode Two SMCWTK-G devices, each in Point-to-Point (P2P) mode, can establish a wireless connection between two wired networks, as shown in Figure3. The two SMCWTK-G devices operating in P2P mode do not allow client associations. To configure the SMCWTK-G deivces to establish a P2P wireless bridge, please ensure the following: . . • Enter the MAC address of SMCWTK-G P2P_2 device in the P2P MAC address field in the SMCWTK-G P2P_1 device.
3.1.4 Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) Mode A SMCWTK-G device operating in Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) mode can wirelessly connect two or more wired networks, as shown in Figure4. The root SMCWTK-G device (LAN 1) operates in PMP mode, and the other SMCWTK-G devices (LAN 2, LAN 3) must operate in P2P mode. When operating in PMP mode, the SMCWTK-G device does not allow client associations. The user must enter the MAC addresses of each (up to six) SMCWTK-G P2P device into the PMP system's table of Remote AP addresses.
3.1.5 Client Mode When set to Client mode, the SMCWTK-G device will associate to an AP within its range in Infrastructure mode, as shown in Figure 5or join with another SMCWTK-G device in Client mode in an Ad-Hoc network, as shown in Figure 6. The Client behaves like a normal wireless client.
4. Wireless Security Support The SMCWTK-G will support WEP encryption and WPA/PSK encryption as shown in Table1. Table 1: Wireless Security Mode WEP WPA/PSK Comments Access Point Yes Yes In AP mode, the SMCWTK-G acts like a regular AP. Supports WEP and WPA/PSK. The link between the Repeater and wireless clients will support either WEP or WPA/PSK. However, the Repeater Yes No (for link between the Repeater and the AP will support only WEP in the initial release.
5. Mode Selection The first step in using the SMCWTK-G is selecting the operating mode. The default operating mode is the AP mode. To view the device’s web page, go to 192.168.2.25 (default IP address of the device) in your web browser. The default username is “admin” and the password is “smcadmin.” To select a mode, click the Mode tab. Click the radio button next to the desired mode and click the Apply button. The device will reboot in the selected mode.
