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 Router. • 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 Router will act as a DHCP Server. • Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP Address from the Wireless Router. 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.

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 Router. 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 Router's Access Point, regardless of the operating system that is used on the client. • To use the Wireless Station with Wireless Router, 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 Router. 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 Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Solution 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
Wireless Access Problem 1: Solution 1: Problem 2: Solution 2: My PC can't locate the Wireless Router. 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 Router are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup". • Both your PC and the Wireless Router 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.
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. Open System or Shared Key. WPA/WPA2 WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are four encryption options: TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method.
